[R-sig-Geo] plotKML organizing folders

[Tomislav Hengl]

I've added an extra argument called "subfolder.name" 
(http://plotkml.r-forge.r-project.org/layer.SpatialPoints.html) so you 
can rename your sub-folders e.g.:

library(plotKML)
library(sp)
demo(meuse, echo=FALSE)
kml(meuse, colour=zinc, subfolder.name="Zinc in ppm")
system("open meuse.kml")

To install plotKML v0.4-6 please use:

install.packages("plotKML", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org", 
type="source")

HTH,

T. Hengl
