\title{Export SpatialPolygons object as S-Plus map for WinBUGS}
\description{
  The function exports an sp SpatialPolygons object into a S-Plus map
format to be import by WinBUGS.
}
\usage{
sp2WB(map, filename, Xscale = 1, Yscale = Xscale, plotorder = FALSE)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{map}{a SpatialPolygons object}
  \item{filename}{file where output is written}
  \item{Xscale, Yscale}{scales to be written in the output file}
  \item{plotorder}{default=FALSE, if TRUE, export polygons in plotting order}
}
