Bind Spatial* objects
}
\description{
Bind (append) Spatial* objects into a single object. All objects must be of the same vector type base class (SpatialPoints, SpatialLines, or SpatialPolygons)
}
\usage{
\S4method{bind}{SpatialPolygons,SpatialPolygons}(x, y, ..., keepnames=FALSE)
\S4method{bind}{SpatialLines,SpatialLines}(x, y, ..., keepnames=FALSE)
\S4method{bind}{SpatialPoints,SpatialPoints}(x, y, ..., keepnames=FALSE)
\S4method{bind}{data.frame,data.frame}(x, y, ..., variables=NULL)
\S4method{bind}{list,missing}(x, y, ..., keepnames=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{Spatial* object or data.frame, or a list of Spatial* objects}
\item{y}{Spatial* object or data.frame, or missing}
\item{...}{Additional Spatial* objects}
\item{keepnames}{Logical. If \code{TRUE} the row.names are kept (if unique)}
\item{variables}{character. Variable (column) names to keep, If \code{NULL}, all variables are kept}
}
\value{
Spatial* object
}
