Plotting and manipulation routines in R

Interesting R packages

rggobi

Functions available within the stiltR code:

flttrack.r plots the flight tracks on top of map (Cartesian projection)

imagell.r plots nice color plots with maps (Cartesian projection)

footplot.r plots footprint with maps (Cartesian projection)

VPRM preprocessor

The current version of the preprocessor for VPRM (to generate MODIS fields for STILT and WRF) can be downloaded here
