Dear Rsig community,

I'm quite new to R-sig. Here's my problem :

I have a set of polygons representing Canada's ecodistricts. Although the great 
majority of polygons are contiguous, few are "isolated" from the main "polygon 
mass". I created a nb object using the poly2nb function. When I use the snap 
function (let say 60 km), it links all polygons together, without leaving 
unconnected subgraphs. Obviously, this also create additionnal links between 
polygons that are not "really" contiguous INSIDE a given subgraph. I would like 
to keep only the additionnal links that connect the subgraphs together using a 
threshold distance (60 km).

My question is : is it possible to connect subgraphs that are isolated from 
each other by a certain threshold distance without doing it manually ? 

Thanks in advance,

Yan
