"# R spatial introduction\n",
"\n",
"This notebook aims to provide a quick introduction to R spatial analysis and cartography.\n",
"\n",
"R is a language dedicated to statitics and data analysis. It has also a lot of strong packages for spatial analysis.\n",
"Recent packages like {sf} allows easy [Simple Features](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Features) manipulation.\n",
"\n",
"This document is in a **writing stage**. If you want to contribute, please see the [Contact Us webpage](https://live.osgeo.org/en/contact.html)\n",
"\n",
"This document aims to complete the [R Overview](http://localhost/osgeolive/en/overview/R_overview.html) and [R Quickstart](http://localhost/osgeolive/en/quickstart/R_quickstart.html). If you don't have read them, please consider doing it if you are new to R."
