[R] Retrieving Vertices Coordinates from SpatialPolygons

[David Winsemius]

If it is in an S4 slot then there should be an extraction function,  
possibly with an obvious name like coords(). Failing that you could  
offer the name of the package that you are using. Perhaps that would  
contain an example to be used for illustration.
