Converts the geographical information provided in a shape-file into a boundary object (see Chapter 5 of the BayesX Reference Manual)
shp2bnd(shpname, regionnames, check.is.in = TRUE)
Returns a boundary object, i.e. a list of polygons that form the map. See read.bnd
for more information on the format.
base filename of the shape-file (including path)
either a vector of region names or the name of the variable in the dbf-file representing these names
test whether some regions are surrounded by other regions (FALSE
speeds
up the execution time but may result in a corrupted bnd-file)
