R: Add non-pch symbols to a map (polygon layer)
问题 I use R as a GIS here, to create a map. It's a monochrome (black/white) site plan. However, I want to distinguish forests from other areas using these open triangular symbols for coniferous forests that are quite common in cartography in the german speaking world. A bit of research led me to the my.symbols function from the TeachingDemos package. I understood one could write a function plotting the desired symbol in a xlim = c(-1,1) , ylim = c(-1,1) plot and then use TeachingDemos::my.symbols
