Hi,

I'd like to read a shapefile into a Map object. This is exactly what
read.shape{maptools} is suppoed to do, according to the documentation I
found in the link below.

However, this doesn't seem to work


library(maptools)x <- read.shape(system.file("shapes/sids.shp",
package="maptools")[1])Error: could not find function "read.shape"



I haven't found this function on the documentation from the latest
release of the package, so I assume is no longer supported. Is there
an alternative way of doing this?

Thanks,

Axel.
