[Rspatial-devel] SpatialMultiPoints

[Edzer Pebesma]

The development version of sp, on r-forge, now provides objets with
MultiPoint geometries, called SpatialMultiPoints and
SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame.

It can do things like:

cl1 = cbind(rnorm(3, 10), rnorm(3, 10))
cl2 = cbind(rnorm(5, 10), rnorm(5,  0))
cl3 = cbind(rnorm(7,  0), rnorm(7, 10))

library(sp)
mp = SpatialMultiPoints(list(cl1, cl2, cl3))
plot(mp, col = 2, cex = 1, pch = 1:3)
mp
mp[1:2]

print(mp, asWKT=TRUE, digits=3)

mpdf = SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame(list(cl1, cl2, cl3), data.frame(a = 1:3))
mpdf

plot(mpdf, col = mpdf$a, cex = 1:3)
as(mpdf, "data.frame")
mpdf[1:2,]

Comments are welcome.
