I am having difficulty loading a points shapefile (1600 records) I generated from ArcGIS as a PointsSpatialDataFrame using the maptools readShapePoints function. library(maptools) surveypts <- readShapePoints(system.file("C:/temp/survey.shp", package="maptools")[1] Error in getinfo.shape(filen) : Error opening SHP file I've tried numerous re-exports and renames of the

I was wondering if there is a way in R to find k nearest neighbors of various orders, say order 2, 3, or 4. In otherwords neighbors of neighbors of neighbors. You get the idea. I know that I can use knearneigh(matrix.data, k) but this only gives me the k nearest neighbors and not of a particular order. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context:

Dear R experts, I'm using the adehabitatHR package in order to perform a kernel analysis and estimate the home range of my input data (GPS relocations of 42 individuals). I've done the analysis for one of the individuals and it worked perfectly (see code below). But now I'm trying to use a list and call the function lapply to do the same thing through all the 42 individuals (also see

Hi, I have a problem that concerns combination of the package Maptools and Splancs I have 2 shapefiles that i want to manipulate (one of type point and one polygon).I import them in R using Maptools but then i can't estimate a quartic Kernel using Splancs. The package doesn't recognize the shapes (invalid points and poly argument).I don't know if this is an easy task but i have

I am not sure a previous e-mail reached the list (no mail aknowledgement from R-boundle etc.). The question was how to write polygon or segment coordinates into a shapefile set or any other ArcGIS supported format. The library shapefiles seems to do something but the documentation is a bit beyond of my mind.... and I cannot get the meaning of the functions write**** and its application to the case

Hi, I meet a strange trouble writing shapefiles with write.pointShape() from maptools. > write.pointShape(mylines[,5:9], file="Sxtplinshp", mycoordspt) Error in write.pointShape(mylines[, 5:9], file = "Sxtplinshp", mycoordspt) : shapefile names must conform to the 8.3 format It seems that the function request a special shapefile name spelling (conformed to 8.3

Hi, Is there a way, preferably with R, to read shapefiles and transform them in a format that I could then use with package PBSmapping? I have been able to read such files into R with maptools' read.shape and plot it with plot.Map, but I'd like to bring the data to PBSmapping and plot from there. I also looked at the package shapefile, but it does not seem to do what I want

Dear All, This is probably a very basic question but: I have plotted a map of the Barents Sea and surrounding coastline using: map('worldHires',ylim=c(50,85),xlim=c(5,65),fill=T,resolution=0) map.axes() map.scale(x=30,metric=T) Next, I imported a shapefile with depth contours for the sea: contours<-read.shape("D://My Documents/BarentsSea.shp",dbf.data=T) (This is in

The main limitation of the shapefiles package that I put together is that it does not create shapefiles from R objects - rather it only writes shapefiles that have been read into R and manipulated within the constraints of the existing file structure. By this I mean that for example you can change the coordinates of points and write them back out. Or you can add a bunch of blank columns in the

Hello R Community, I have imported a dataset which contain X Y coordinates and would like to recreate a shape file after some data analysis. What i have done is to import some taxlot data and join them based on some criteria. I want to check to see how well the joining went by reviewing the results in GIS. A couple things. I cant seem to import a shape file correctly using the maptools

Dear R users, I am using spatstat to analyze point patterns (tree locations). I would like to import the shapefile with the study area polygons (six total) into R and use it to create the window for the spatstat analysis. I do not simply want to use a rectangle because the study areas spread out over 40000 ha. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Charlotte Reemts Charlotte

I was wondering if there was an R equivalent to the two phased approach that MATLAB uses in performing the Kmeans algorithm. If not is there away that I can determine if the kmeans in R and the kmeans in MATLAB are essentially giving me the same clustering information within a small amount of error? -- View this message in context:

I just uploaded two packages to CRAN. shapefiles_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read and write ESRI shapefiles (including dbfs) emme2_0.1.tar.gz - functions to read binary data from an EMME/2 databank data (EMME/2 is a transportation modeling program) Please let me know if you find any bugs or have some suggestions. Thanks. Regards, Benjamin Stabler Transportation Planning Analysis Unit Oregon

cheers , I need help in shapefile manipulations. I have two shapefiles of my country Cameroon. The first contain 10 provinces and each province contains a certain number of administratives units. I dont have ESRI Arc view. I want to add a admistrative unit of the center province to the map with 10 province. Is it possible to to take a peace of shapefile and combining it to another ? Thanks !

Dear List, I have examined the sp, maptools, and shapefiles packages (Windows) but cannot seem to figure out a solution for writing shapefiles for 'curvy shapes'. The scenario is that I generate a series of polygons, circles, and ellipses on a plot and would like to convert them to shapefiles. Since the circles and ellipses are do not return a coordinate list during the plotting

Hi, I have overlayed 2 projected shapefiles using the "plot" function. When I plot them the numbers next to the x-axis ticks are printed in scientific format (e.g. -4e+05, -3e+05,...,), and the problem is these dont match up to the projected point locations I also wish to overlay from my dataset. For example, according to the x-axis ticks the prime meridian (0?) is in totally the

Now available on CRAN is a revised version of the shapefiles package for reading and writing shapefiles in R. New additions, courtesy of others, include the ability to convert a simple R data frame of points, polylines or polygons to a shp format list, which can then be written out to a shapefile with write.shp. There is also a function to convert the read.shp shp format list to a simple data

Hi, I'm a SAS veteran and R newbie. Can anyone point me to where I can best find examples on reading in shapefiles with R, and then merging in measurement info for the different polygons? I'm struggling a bit finding a good toehold in the documentation, as I am not yet familiar with navigating it yet. Thanks, Matt [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm hoping that someone could guide me in how to extract data from shapefiles. I want to extract data from a shapefile (classed as "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame") and more specifically, the data is contained within the slot called "coords" from the class "polygons" within this file and despite my best efforts (and much reading!), I'm at a lost. Many thanks, Kate

Dear All, I'm new with mapping and using shapefiles in R. I use the version: R 3.2.1 GUI 1.66 with Snow Leopard Mac OS (6956) I want to build a map of the countries of Africa, in order to add points of collecting species of beetles, for later publishing. library(maptools) library(mapdata) When I put the extreme coordinates of Africa, the map began only at longitude 0? and thus lacks the
