\title{ sets spatial coordinates to create spatial data, or retrieves
spatial coordinates }
\description{ sets spatial coordinates to create spatial data, or retrieves
spatial coordinates }
\usage{
polygons(obj)

}
\arguments{
\item{obj}{ object of class "SpatialPolygons" or "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame" }
\item{object}{ object of class "data.frame" }

}
\value{ polygons returns the SpatialPolygons of obj; polygons<- promotes a
data.frame to a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object }
