[R-sig-Geo] Extracting GIS file - best approach?

[Agustin Lobo]

Aurelie,

If all you need is defining the region, perhaps the easiest is
guessing the coordinates from the
grid of your jpg file.
Alternatively, you can georeference the jpg to make a companion world
file that would let you use
your map as an spatial object. You can use qgis for that.
