⚠️There's a newer version (1.1-8) of this package.Take me there.

maptools (version 1.1-7)

Tools for Handling Spatial Objects

Description

Please note that 'maptools' will be retired during October 2023, plan transition at your earliest convenience (see and earlier blogs for guidance); some functionality will be moved to 'sp'. Set of tools for manipulating geographic data. The package also provides interface wrappers for exchanging spatial objects with packages such as 'PBSmapping', 'spatstat.geom', 'maps', and others.
