R help - Sep 2014 - RGEOS ERROR

working configuration:
R-3.1.1
WIN-64
goal: want to perfrom ploygon clipping, giving bounding box values of my
study area and extract the area from world map.
 I followed:
> clip.extent <- as(extent(76.3700, 31.7439, 78.6541, 33.2653),
"SpatialPolygons")
> proj4string(clip.extent) <- CRS(proj4string(WorldMap))> LSMap <-
gIntersection(WorldMap, clip.extent, byid = TRUE)
Error :

In RGEOSBinTopoFunc(spgeom1, spgeom2, byid, id, drop_not_poly,
"rgeos_intersection") :
  spgeom1 and spgeom2 have different proj4 strings


Any help or assistance would be highly obliged

What is WorldMap? From where does it come?

Pascal

I suspect you are seeing old code in rgeos. Please upgrade.  If you cannot
do that, try a few other things like

## since you obviously have raster loaded

projection(clip.extent) <- projection(WorldMap)

LSMap <- gIntersection(WorldMap, clip.extent, byid = TRUE)

Does that work? If not possibly

projection(clip.extent) <- as.character(NA)

projection(WorldMap) <- as.character(NA)

LSMap <- gIntersection(WorldMap, clip.extent, byid = TRUE)
I just cannot verify those because I am up to date.

Cheers, Mike

Here's what I can do with rgeos  0.3-6:

## please declare your environment btw

library(maptools)

library(raster)

library(rgeos)

data(wrld_simpl)

clip.extent <- as(extent(76.3700, 31.7439, 78.6541, 33.2653),
"SpatialPolygons")

## this works, albeit with a warning

amap <- gIntersection(wrld_simpl, clip.extent, byid = TRUE)

## this does also work

proj4string(clip.extent) <- CRS(proj4string(amap))

amap <- gIntersection(wrld_simpl, clip.extent, byid = TRUE)
