[R-sig-Geo] How can I add attribute data to map?

[Carson Farmer]

Assuming the attribute table you want to join to your county layer is
called new.data, the following might be what you're looking for:

temp.data <- county at data
         # get the data.frame of your county Spatial*DataFrame
temp.data <- merge(temp.data, new.data, by='code', all.x=TRUE) # join
your new.data to your temp.data data.frame

                        # in this case, a left outer join, which is
probably what you want...
county at data <- temp.data
         # now add the data back (along with the new fields)

Hope that helps,

Carson
