Hello:

I would like to superimpose vector polygons (state outlines) from a Shape file on top of a satellite image, imported into a SpatialGridDataFrame from GEOTIFF via gdal_translate and readGDAL.

When I plot polygon and point shape files in R, into SpatialPointDataFrame and SpatialPolygonDataFrame, the two feature sets line up geographically, so it seems logical that a SpatialGridDataFrame should behave
in the same way.

From my initial research, the spplot function is the correct function for plotting grids/images with axes and
annotation.

The big question is, how do I incorporate a Spatial(Points or Polygons)DataFrame into the spplot display list?

It seems as though many scientists would like to create such plots without resorting to GRASS or
another GIS.

Thanks for any advice,
Rick Reeves
