sp2WB: Export SpatialPolygons object as S-Plus map for WinBUGS

Description

The function exports an sp SpatialPolygons object into a S-Plus map format to be import by WinBUGS.

Usage

sp2WB(map, filename, Xscale = 1, Yscale = Xscale, plotorder = FALSE)

Arguments

map

a SpatialPolygons object

filename

file where output is written

Xscale, Yscale

scales to be written in the output file

plotorder

default=FALSE, if TRUE, export polygons in plotting order
