...read using GPS in Longitud-Latitud form (using WGS84 system), so I first need to convert these Longitud-Latitud data into UTM data. To do so, I use package PBSmapping: attr(my.dataframe, "projection") <-"LL" attr(my.dataframe, "zone") <- 30 my.dataframe<-as.PolySet(my.dataframe) my.dataframeUL<-convUL(my.dataframe) obtaining the UTM coordinates. But when I plot them in the polygon region, points seem to be badly located. I suspect it is due to the ED50 UTM of the polygon versus WGS84 coordenates of the points. If this is the problem, is there a way to co...

I have some disconnected boundary data from a finite element ocean model and I'd like to make a plot. Maptools looks promising, but since my data is not in a shapefile or a map, I'm unclear on what the best way to approach the problem. >geom[1:10,] lon lat depth 1 -75.42481 35.58192 16.172 2 -75.40726 35.58567 18.045 3 -75.41351 35.60312 17.333 4 -75.38888 35.58959

Using R 2.5.1 on Windows XP Professional, and PBSmapping package version 2.51, I have encountered some behavior which puzzles me. I am including the package's listed maintainer on this email but also seek the thoughts of the R-help community. I have a set of EventData, which I want to plot as points, and to color the points according to some criterion. It turns out that some of my

Hi, In another thread ("PBSmapping and shapefiles") I asked for an easy way to read "shapefiles" and transform them in data that PBSmapping could use. One person is exploring some ways of doing this, but it is possible I'll have to do this "manually". With package "maptools" I am able to extract the information I need from a shapefile but it is
