Yes, in an infinite number of ways. Want to narrow it down? Specifically, you could slice it vertically, horizontally, or at any angle between. You could chop it into squares and reassign them (did you want **contiguous** areas?). You could choose a point and three radii angles that divide the polygon into 3 equal areas in an infinite number of ways. The rgeos package will help you chop polygons up, and then uniroot can find the coordinates of lines or radii of angles that chop the polygon first into 1/3 & 2/3 then chop the 2/3 into 1/2 and 1/2, giving you three equal pieces. > I cant seem to be able to do it in QGIS. If it can be done in R it can be done in Python and then it can be done in QGIS...
