Hi,

I am using maptools to plot air quality data on a map. Each measurement point 
is mapped to a postal code area. This yields pictures with discrete borders, 
like so:

The problem is that the size of a postal code area doesn't mean much in this 
context. Moreover, only a small minority of all the postal code areas has a 
measurement sation. Are there any ways/tools to "interpolate" the various 
(strategically chosen) measurement stations? I am looking for sensible ways to 
create plots like this:

R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 
i686-pc-linux-gnu 
...

 
Thank you in advance!


Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
