Hi,

 

I'm just wondering if it's possible, in R, to modify a shapefile's
coordinates?

 

I've shapefiles for each state/territory of Australia, and in them there
are local government areas coordinates.  Using readShapePoly(), I am
able to read them in and plot each state with its local government
areas.

 

However, I also want to be able to "merge" local government areas into
roughly north-east-south-west - i.e. draw a state then divide it roughly
into four quadrants (or divide it in other ways by merging various local
government areas).   Is there any easy way that I can manipulate the
shapefile to do this? 

 

Kind regards
