| ArcMapSetup {GCDkit} | R Documentation | 
This function provides a rudimentary support for drawing Arc GIS-compatible shape files (.shp).
    ArcMapSetup(object, layers = NULL, map.col = NULL, map.palette = "heat.colours", 
    labels.txt = FALSE, col.txt = "black", cex.txt = 0.5, axes = TRUE, longlat = TRUE, 
    xlab = "Longitude", ylab = "Latitude")
| object | name of the object to be drawn, normally  | 
| layers | names of layers to be drawn. | 
| map.col | a vector with colors specified for each of the polygons. | 
| map.palette | name of a palette to fill the individual polygons by a random colour. | 
| labels.txt | logical; label the individual polygons? | 
| col.txt | colour of these textual labels. | 
| cex.txt | relative size of these textual labels. | 
| axes | logical; should be the axes drawn? | 
| longlat | logical; should be long-lat grid added? | 
| xlab | label for the x axis. | 
| ylab | label for the y axis. | 
By default, the  loadData function of the GCDkit system loads a shape (*.shp)
file into a list object called GCDmap. Each layer represents one item. 
If required, the longitude-latitude grid is also drawn using the function llgridlines.
None. It just modifies properties of a Figaro object (a map).

This code relies heavily on rgdal and sp packages that 
were written by Roger Bivand, Edzer Pebesma and their co-workers.
