How to load a bmp pic ?

I’ve got a geo map in bmp.
I’d like to load it in R, for dis­play, to be able to click and record geo loca­tions.
What’s the recipy ?

As an exam­ple, I am search­ing to per­form in R, what I do with this in mat­lab, I do loadbmp, image, …, ginput:

% — load %{{{
sBmp=input( sprintf( ‘>– enter bmp [%s]: ‘, mapBmp));
if isempty(sBmp), sBmp=mapBmp;end
sBmp=[ sBmp ‘.bmp’];
[tab tabM]=loadbmp( sBmp);
tab=tab(size(tab,1):-1:1,:);
%}}}

% — plot %{{{
figure(4); clg
colormap(tabM);image( vMap([1 2]),vMap([3 4]), tab); axis(‘xy’);
set( 4, ‘Posi­tion’, [590 52 751 652]);
%}}}

Well, this is encour­ag­ing. Good news for me because I haven’t yet mas­tered Excel and I have to admit to get­ting slightly peeved with some of the faults on it — which is prob­a­bly why I gave up on it in the first place.
