[R-sig-Geo] +AFs-R-sig-Geo+AF0- Creating a map with metropolitan areas

[Rolando Valdez]

I have no tried anything, that's why I'm looking for help.

Maybe this list is too advanced for my skills in R environment, because I need to start from the begining.

My idea basicly is to merge both maps, and go painting the data by metropolitan area excluding the municipalities left.

Perhaps you can guide me with some manuals for beginners about the maptools and sp. Some examples may help also.

Thanks,

Rol+AH4-

What have you tried so far?

Do you want base graphics? lattice graphics? gglot2 graphics? or any of them?

I would probably start with the sp and maptools packages, but there are other tools listed in the spatial task view that may help as well.

You are more likely to receive useful help if you show what you have tried (in a way that others can copy and paste to try themselves) and explain what you would like to be different.
