#################################################################################### We have used maptools to construct state, county, township, census-tract, and zipcode level R maps with an Albers Conical Equal Area projection. We would like to be able to plot the location of weather stations or other point locations on the maps. The data the point locations are in latitude-longitude units

Using R 2.0.1 on Windows XP, I am getting an error msg: Error in .Fortran("conic", nxy = nxy, npt = npt, CP = cp, EP1 = ep1, EP2 = ep2, : Fortran function name not in load table I am wondering if there is a way to see what function names are in the load table? Maybe the function name has been altered? The first thing I do in my analysis script is to load a DLL, conic.dll,

Can someone help me out with a "small" problem? I've started using netcdf files recently, and I want to extract the grid id and also the coordinates from a HIRHAM netcdf file. I know how to extract a slice of dataset both in space and in time and I also know the area that this file should cover, however I have no idea regarding the reference for both LAT/LON and RLAT/RLON. I tried

Subsetting using [] vs. head(), gives different results. R code: > head(train$data, 5) [1] 0 0 1 0 0 > train$data[1:5, 1:5] 5 x 5 sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" cap-shape=bell cap-shape=conical cap-shape=convex [1,] . . 1 [2,] . . 1 [3,] 1 .

Thank you for your responses. I guess I don't feel alone. I don't find the documentation go into any detail. I also find it surprising that, > object.size(train$data) 1730904 bytes > object.size(as.matrix(train$data)) 6575016 bytes the dgCMatrix actually takes less memory, though it *looks* like the opposite.

Dear R list, I came across dgCMatrix. I believe this class is associated with sparse matrix. I see there are 8 attributes to train$data, I am confused why are there so many, some are vectors, what do they do? Here's the R code: library(xgboost) data(agaricus.train, package='xgboost') data(agaricus.test, package='xgboost') train <- agaricus.train test <- agaricus.test

See: help('dgCMatrix-class', pack=Matrix) If Martin Maechler happens to respond to this you should listen to him rather than anything I write. Much of what the Matrix package does appears

summary: I can display a lon-lat map on a lattice::layerplot, and I can display a Lambert conformal conic (LCC) map on a spam::image, but I can't display an LCC map on a lattice::layerplot. Example follows. What am I doing wrong? details: I've been using `lattice` (via `rasterVis`) successfully to display global atmospheric data, which works well enough (though I am definitely intrigued

...ere are any Zaurus owners out there using there zaurus as a voip phone?? I'm trying to decide which on to buy. The sl-6000 is perfect for phone use from what I've read, but it's not very pocket friendly (http://www.sharpusa.com/images/hpc_SL6000_pic1.jpg) The clamshell models (http://conics.net/shp/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/sl-c3000.html) are much nicer but would require some type of headset. Anyway, more to the point... I've read that there are zaurus users who have their pda setup to use nfs mount when they're in range of their home network (saves your flash if you're not usin...

My goal is to prepare a thematic map of the US, with states shaded according to their values for a variable of interest. I would like to include an inset for Alaska in the upper left and an inset for Hawaii in the lower left. If possible, I'd like to use Albers conic projection, or something similar. Thus far I have tried using the maps package with its state database (which omits

Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux, I'm trying to produce a thematic map of the USA using the gmaps package. The result thus far has two problems from my point of view. First, the projection (Miller cylindrical?) elongates southern states and flattens northern ones unattractively. I'd prefer Albers conic projection or something similar. Second, the inset for Alaska is placed

Dear all, 1. How can I compute the intersecting area between 2 polygons ? 2. I have polygons with coordinates in decimal degrees (i.e. 13 deg 30 min = 13.5 decimal degrees). I want to compute their area and get the results in square meters or square kiometers. Can anyone give me a conversion coefficient or a pointer where I can find this information (sorry for this off topic question) ? Thanks

Hi, Could any one point me to the projection, and parameters if necessary, that would show each country/continent with it's area accurately refelcted on the plot? E.g. aitoff vs. albers vs. bonne vs. cylequalearea vs. guyou - they don't all look the same to mee but some of the documentations suggests they are equal area? Of course this isn't my field, so I am largely guessing and am

Water engineer here. The standard approach is to 1) get the storage vs. elevation data from the designers of the reservoir or, barring that, 2) get the bathymetry data from USBR or state DWR, or, if available, get the DEM data from USGS if the survey was done before the reservoir was built or 3) get a boat+sonar with GPS? +lots of time and survey the bottom elevation yourself. Put the xyz

Dear all; Thank you for your reply. David has explained an interesting method. David I have DEM file of the region and I have extracted the xyz data from that. Also I can extract bathymetry data as xyz file. I have calculated the storage (volume) of reservoir at the current elevation. But the method I have used to calculate the volume is different from your method. I have crop DEM by the reservoir

Hello, I used a mac G5, R.2.1.1, and G77 3.4.4 and I would like to use and call a fortran subroutine. The trouble is that it seems I am not able to correctly load the compiled code. Here is what I have done: In the terminal this how I compiled my fortran code: R CMD SHLIB ~/Desktop/Fortan_kmeans/kmeans3.f There is the wrapper I have paste inside de kmeans3.f file: c

Dear all, We are trying to fit a non linear model to dispersal data. It seems that sometimes when the fit of the model of the data is not very good we start getting singular gradient errors. However if we modify slightly the data this won't occurr. We have also tried changing the initial parameter values and the algorithm for fitting in nls but didn't help. So we ended up programming a
