Hi again,
Thanks, sorry about that - here is the code to illustrate what I did - following the ASDAR book example of choosing a subset of coordinates in Brazil:

Thanks for a clear report, this was a bug introduced three months ago. A patched sp can be downloaded from late evening tomorrow at SVN revision 1037 from R-Forge, either

install.packages("sp", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";)

or visit

https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1014

and download manually. I'm sorry I didn't make this evening's pickup at 20:30 CET.

My problem is: the object "brazil" should have a new bounding box -- as it does in the ASDAR book example text. But when I do it, the bounding box remains identical to the original one for CRAN_sp.
Sorry for the confusion, thanks greatly for any help.

Hi Robin,

could you please post some example code (possibly self-contained, e.g. with meuse data)?
So it's less guessing what you actually did. More on this topic:

Hi,

I'm going through some initial data inspection, and working through
steps in the "Applied Spatial Data analysis with R" book. Following steps in Ch. 2 of the "Applied Spatial Data analysis with R"
book, I was able to extract a set of coordinates from my
SpatialPoints object just fine. The object returned looks right - the
coordinates are extracted correctly, but my bounding box does not change. The same min/max for coords.x1 and x2 get returned instead
of a new bounding box that reflects the selection.

Not sure what I'm missing, would appreciate any help - I apologize if
this is overly simple!
thanks,
Robin
