Utility functions to convert between the 'Spatial' classes specified by the package 'sp', and the well-known binary '(WKB)' representation for geometry specified by the 'Open Geospatial Consortium'. Supports 'Spatial' objects of class 'SpatialPoints', 'SpatialPointsDataFrame', 'SpatialLines', 'SpatialLinesDataFrame', 'SpatialPolygons', and 'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame'. Supports 'WKB' geometry types 'Point', 'LineString', 'Polygon', 'MultiPoint', 'MultiLineString', and 'MultiPolygon'. Includes extensions to enable creation of maps with 'TIBCO Spotfire'.
Convert between the Spatial classes specified by the package sp and
the well-known binary (WKB) representation for geometry specified by the
