As of now, there is a source package published on CRAN (RArcInfo) which reads Arc binary data, and has a map function. Off CRAN, there are a number of draft packages, some of which are linked to the web-page of a pre-conference workshop here: http://spatial.nhh.no/meetings/vienna/index.html This work is continuing on several levels: 1) data import/export 2) mapping 3) projection, line thinning/generalisation, topology 4) interfacing mapping functions with spatial analysis functions Contributions and ideas welcome!
