Hi Enoch,
It's inappropriate to email just me, rather than the whole list - I
don't have the capacity to provide private tutorials.
You could import your prediction maps into a GIS you're more familiar with.
You could read a tutorial on the raster package, which provides tools
to do what you want.
If you're still struggling with basic R commands, you could read the
Introduction to R that comes with it, or one of the many other
tutorials that are available online and in your library.
In general, this email list is excellent for "I tried this and
couldn't get it to work. How do I fix my error?" and not great for "I
don't know anything about R but I have this project please explain
everything."
So: You have a map. What format is your map? What have you tried? What
didn't work? Where have you searched? What documentation have you
read?
