⚠️There's a newer version (2.73.4) of this package.Take me there.
PBSmapping (version 2.69.76)
Mapping Fisheries Data and Spatial Analysis Tools
Description
This software has evolved from fisheries research conducted at the
Pacific Biological Station (PBS) in `Nanaimo', British Columbia, Canada. It
extends the R language to include two-dimensional plotting features similar
to those commonly available in a Geographic Information System (GIS).
Embedded C code speeds algorithms from computational geometry, such as
finding polygons that contain specified point events or converting between
longitude-latitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.
Additionally, we include `C++' code developed by Angus Johnson for the `Clipper'
library. Also included are data for a global shoreline and other
data sets in the public domain. The R directory `.../library/PBSmapping/doc'
offers a complete user's guide, which should be consulted to use package
functions effectively.
