Arguments

sPdf

SpatialPolygonDataFrame object, e.g. as output by poly2sp.

xmn

Minimum x value to use for the grid. Defaults to 142.45

ymn

Minimum y value for the grid. Defaults to -27.5

resolution

Grid resolution in degrees. Defaults to 0.01

xmax

Maximum x value for the grid. Defaults to max value from the SpatialPolygonDataFrame bounding box.

ymax

Maximum y value for the grid. Defaults to max value from the SpatialPolygonDataFrame bounding box.

Value

A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object, as used in the package 'sp'
