Hello everyone,

I have what i think is a small problem. I have a shapefile which has
thousands of polygons scattered through space. I decided to clip them using
an extent and now I'm having problems because some of these polygons at the
edge of the clipping extent were once 1 single polygon in the full dataset,
but now they have become multipart polygons separated by space. I would
like to simply split all polygons which aren't touching each other and give
them a unique ID. I know in ArcGIS this is called  Multipart To Singlepart,
but is there such a tool available in R?

Thanks
