  Version         : 1.2-0

  Programming Lang: GNU R
  Description     : GNU R Polygon Clipping
 R port of the Clipper library. Performs polygon clipping operations
 (intersection, union, set minus, set difference) for polygonal regions
 of arbitrary complexity, including holes. Also computes offset polygons
 (spatial buffer zones, morphological dilations, Minkowski dilations) for
 polygonal regions and polygonal lines.


This package is a precondition for r-cran-spatstat which might be
interesting in itself for scientific work and thus goes into Debian
Science but my main motivation is to upgrade r-cran-surveillance.
The packaging is available in SVN at
