G'Day, I'm a little confused why the c function has the followng effect on classes - is this a feature ? My workround [ class(cc) <- c("POSIXt", "POSIXct") ] seems to do the job. Many thanks Bernie McConnell "R version 1.3.1, 2001-08-31" on NT > aa <- as.POSIXct("2001-09-23") > bb <- as.POSIXct("2001-09-24") > cc

G'Day again, I am attempting to read a large MSAccess file into R, but get memory problems. With the first 100 rows of the table ("Macca99") things, as shown below, are fine and the resulting object is 33,780 bytes. But when I read the entire table ("MaccaDiv99") which is 218,000 rows R falls over with the message: Rgui.exe - Application error The instruction at

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

G'Day, I want to access in a function called from tapply the current factor. In my example below, all I want to do is to write the current factor on each histogram. Needless to say my example does not work. I would be grateful for pointers in the right direction. Many thanks Bernie McConnell Sea Mammal Reserach Unit cc <- 1:10 ff <- rep(c("a","b"),5) pp<-

Hi: Is there any function in R which can convert the long/lat to UTM(Universal Transverse Mercator)? There are quite a few converters on Internet. However, the interface is designed as input->output which I can not convert lots of locations at the same time. Another question is whether there is a function in R which can tell the time zone from the location's lat/long? Thank you!

Dear All, The recent improvement in RODBC to recognize datetimes in tables has exposed my ongoing confusion. All my data are obtained from a satellite system (Argos) which tags events in the GMT time zone. Daylight saving is ignored. To my way of thinking this means that 1. twelve-o-clock means halfway through the day regardless of season, and 2. the difftime of any two dates where

Hi, I read somewhere that when carrying out geostatistical analysis in R you should not use latitude and longitude...can anyone expand on this a little for me, and what would be the best coordinate system to use? I have my data in a geographic coordinate system, WGS84, decimal degrees....is this the wrong format for such analyses? I have also converted my data in the UTM projection and so have

Here is the answer to an old question of mine, regarding maps in R Hope this help. claudia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 13:48:05 -0400 From: Kieran Healy <kjhealy at Princeton.EDU> To: Claudia Tebaldi <tebaldi at ucar.edu> Subject: Re: [R] maps in R Hi Claudia -- you can get the maps() library from here:

Running R version 2.6.1 under Linux, I'm trying to use the maps and mapdata packages and the state database to produce a thematic map of the USA. My problem is that cracks (white spaces) appear between some states--e.g. between Colorado and Utah and between Michigan and Indiana. The resulting visual impression is that the country is breaking up. This occurs in all the projections I have

Is there packaged code to convert geographical coordinates (e.g., longitude, latitude, elevation) to Cartesian coordinates in 3-space? I can see how to do this using 1. a spherical-to-Cartesian conversion like pracma::sph2cart(tpr) http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pracma/ 2. a geographical-to-spherical conversion. This seems to involve (in roughly increasing order of difficulty or

You can't run a Cat 5 cable more than 100 metres reliably, and using Ethernet repeaters every hundred metres or so isn't practical. You will need a fiber backbone or something like that. What

I am trying to set up a Grass project and need to set up the region so that I can view the map. I can look at a map and find the lat/lon, but the map projection is in UTM NAD38 WGS84 and I need to set the eastings and northings. Is there a package that will help me calculate this in R. thanks -- Stephen Sefick Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little

I have nc files for global soil moisture,here is one file https://echange-fichiers.inra.fr/get?k=f9DDllPKdUKs5ZNQwfq from the metadata ,the projection is cylindrical and the resolution is 25 km(it is based on authalic sphere based on International 1924 ellipsoid).As I want to compare with other data, I have to make them identical. - my other data are in WGS84 with 0.25*0.25 degree resolution

Dear R users, I wish to run spatial point pattern analysis (e.g. pair correlation function, mark correlation function) for which I need to create an observation window (window=owin) from which the spatial analysis is generated. The command I used to create this observation window as follows: X1<- ppp(x, y, window=owin(c(80.58,144.96),c(101.06,165.13)),

Hi R-Users, I have plotted a region whose polygon coordinates are given in shp format ED50 UTM (zone=30) ) using "readShapePoly" in library(maptools). Now I need to plot a set of points in that region (my.dataframe, with X and Y geographic coordinates), which have been read using GPS in Longitud-Latitud form (using WGS84 system), so I first need to convert these Longitud-Latitud data
