Two possibilities seem to be present: define your polygon as a hole inside 
the bounding box of the image, with a link between the polygon and the 
bounding box, and fill it; or, perhaps better, only make kriging 
predictions for the polygon. Since you haven't given a code example, it 
isn't obvious how you are making the kriging predictions, but the choice 
of the newdata locations ought to decide - and they do not need to be a 
full grid, or even a regular grid at all.

If you need to follow this up, please consider using the R-sig-geo list.

 
 Any hint will be appreciated

[R] intersect filled.contour and polygon

2007-04-30 Thread Pedro Mardones
Dear R users;

Is there any way to intersect a filled contour image and a polygon? My
problem is that I want to create a kriging map and the boundaries of
my map are given by the coordinates of the polygon.

So far I can superompose the polygon in the filled.contour image but I
don't know how to get rid of the contour image outside of the polygon
boundaries.

Any hint will be appreciated
