Intersecting Points and Polygons in R
I am working with shapefiles in R , one is point.shp the other is a polygon.shp. Now, I would like to intersect the points with the polygon, meaning that all the values from the polygon should be attached to the table of the point.shp. I tried overlay() and spRbind in package sp, but nothing did what I expected them to do. Could anyone give me a hint?

So all you
