Dear Roger,

Thats very helpful. Fiddling around with the aspect ratio, I tricked
spatstat to use the correct aspect ratio:

plot(owin.de,asp=attr(de,"asp"),main="")

to give me a nice looking map plotted with spatstat.

>> Project the geometries to the plane (spTransform methods in rgdal).

Ok, I'll look into that.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,

Michael
