bbox in the sp package is what you are looking for.

Subject: [R-sig-Geo] minimum area bounding rectangles

Hi R users,

I would like to compute minimum area bounding rectangles for polygon 
features to extract short and long axes and azimuths of the long axes.  
Is this possible in R? I have not been able to find a way (yet).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Murray
