Dears,

Although I am formaly new to this mailing list, for months I've been
reading lots of threads here both on handling shape files and on making
different adjacency spatial weighted matrices. But I still keep wondering
and trying if is it possible to: 1) make n-order adjacency matrix from a
poly shape file directly whithin R (queen or rook types); 2) customize the
weights that each {1...n} order would be assigned.

Of course it is possible to handle a first order adjacecy matrix trough the
poly2nb command of spdep, but I did not realize yet how to properly do
n-order adjacency without using GeoDa or ArcGIS.
Maybe I am missing something of spdep in here?

Best,

Fabricio
