similar to: R 2.13.1 for Windows: error when loading (some) packages

## Hello.. I have asked a similar question, but this is not fixed as before. ## I am running the following using Ubuntu OS: R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08) Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) ## when I do this: > install.packages("mapproj", dependencies=T) ## I get this: Installing package(s)

Hello, I've installed the Becker and Wilks maps, mapdata, and mapproj packages so I can begin to try these out for some work I need to do on a map of Alaska but I don't know where to find a map of Alaska. Has anyone solved this already and could help? Thanks very much in advance, Caitlin

What tools and documentation exist for producing maps and working with polygon and polylist objects in R beyond the following: * Packages maps, mapproj, maptools, and mapdata. * Becker and Wilks (1993, 1995), listed as references in the documentation on the "map" function. Thanks, Spencer Graves

Hi, I'm trying to plot a map of the pacific ocean, centered on the dateline, using the maps package. library(maps) # Basic library to draw maps library(mapdata)# Library with specialized maps library(mapproj) map(database = "world", fill = TRUE, col = 1, plot = TRUE,add=F, xlim = c(120,300), ylim = c(-20,40)) I tried several different combinations of coordinates, but whatever

This is probably a faq but I have not been able to find a solution. I create a pdf file in R but latex complains that it can't find the bounding box. Here is an example: > pdf(file="test.pdf", onefile=FALSE, width=8,height=8) > plot(1:10) > dev.off() X11 2 > sessionInfo() R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20, sparc-sun-solaris2.9 attached base packages: [1]

Dear Helpers: I'm trying to use packages "maps" and "mapdata" (see blow) to display the research resutls on map (Mid-Atlantic region). In particular, I need to mark a number of points in the map by giving their latitude and longitude information. For instance, I would like to mark a point on (long, lat) =(75.56027, 39.09271). Also, I need to mark several cities that I

Thanks Mike. My data has longitude and latitude coords and I used distAB {clim.pact} then mst {ape} to calculate my minimum spanning tree. The nodes are telecoms sites from all over Australia. My goal is to determine the minimum cost of linking them via cabling, and I'm starting by calculating the distance "as the crow flies", but will probably eventually need to calculate the

Hi R-user, I am new with R and I have a problem with the map and mapproj fonctions : with the following code : >test_proj=mapproject(LONG_d01_vec_t1, LAT_d01_vec_t1, projection="lambert", parameters=c(30,60)) >longitude_vec=test_proj$x >latitude_vec=test_proj$y >longitude_mat=matrix(longitude_vec,ncol=e_sn_d01) >latitude_mat=matrix(latitude_vec,ncol=e_sn_d01)

The original S maps package, previously only available in R on Unix systems is now available in R for Windows. maps_2.0-2 and mapdata_2.0-2 (see below) in both source and Windows binary form (for rw1071) have been uploaded to CRAN, hopefully soon to appear. The key aspect of this package which differentiates it from other GIS related R packages under development is that it is standalone within

Hi Sherri, There are examples of topographic maps which you have been pointed to, however, I suspect that you want to know where you can obtain topographic data from rather than a canned example. There are quite a few intricacies to the process so I will go through them for you. (1) Topography files can be found in the geomapdata library. You will probably want to use the maps package too (if

Hi, I installed the maps and mapdata libraries on my R-1.8.0 on MacOSX 10.2.8 (jaguar on a powerbook G4), and failed to make the map function work properly: R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.8.0 (2003-10-08) [...] > library(maps) > map() Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file

dear all: Im trying to obtain maps on R, under mapdata library, but I cannot define the labels. Here is an example: library(mapdata) map("worldHires", c("portugal","spain"),ylim=c(34,46),xlim=c(-14,3.5)) axis(1,at=seq(-12,3,3)) axis(2) when I try the parameter xlab or ylab in axis, i get: parameter "ylab" couldn't be set in high-level plot()

Hi- I am trying to find a way to diffuse GIS data on a European map. I have a dataset consisting of particular locations scattered across Europe, along with magnitude and value information. I can plot these as discrete points with something like the following: "geocode" is a dataframe with four columns: LAT; LONG; MAGNITUDE;VALUE. library(maps) library(mapdata)

Does anyone have any experience plotting complex polygons on a scatterplot3d display? I would like to present some spatially binned data in a 3-d type plot with background polygons (i.e.. a filled coastline map). I can get the coastline onto the plot window as a line type but cannot figure out how to fill the shape. I'm certain it may be possible but might require a bit of digging

Hi list, I have a real problem with plotting US state map. When I try to plot the northern state, there will be some blank space in the top of graph (see case 1 example), and when I plot southern states, there will be a blank space in the bottom of plot (see case 2). I spent almost 2 days to figure out a solution, but could not. Would you help me if you know what the problem is? Regards, Alireza

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

SUMMARY: Specific problem: I'm regridding biomass-burning emissions from a global/unprojected inventory to a regional projection (LCC over North America). I need to have boundaries for Canada, Mexico, and US (including US states), but also Caribbean and Atlantic nations (notably the Bahamas). I would also like to add Canadian provinces and Mexican states. How to put these together? General
