similar to: shapefiles manipulations ??

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

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

Hi all, who knows how to get an ESRI Shapefile for the NUTS-2 Regions of the enlarged European Union? Particularly I want to draw maps of Germany, Poland, Czech Republik, Hungary and Austria. I've found Shapefiles for the US, Russia and other countries elsewhere in the web, but for Europe it seems really difficult. With many thanks for any hint Albrecht

I am having trouble getting data labels to display over the provinces in a GADM map of Canada. Specifically, I need the variable "Number" from the data set "by_province", grouped by "region", to appear on the corresponding regions of the map. The data set "by_province" looks like this: long lat order hole piece region

Dear UseRs, I'm using the library maps. I'm drawing maps of Italy. The map available for this library were prepared around *1989*: "This italy database comes from the NUTS III (Tertiary Administrative Units of the European Community) database of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) GRID-Geneva data sets. These were prepared around *1989*" [cited:

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

Dear R'ers, I am wondering what is the smallest geographicterritorial unit available for formatting in Canada. Provinces? I know that in the US it is the county so that I can color US counties any way I want, for example: ### Example for coloring US counties ### Creating an ARTIFICIAL criterion for coloring US counties: library(maps) allcounties<-data.frame(county=map('county',

Dear forum,   I am working in R 2.9.1 and I am trying to sample locations from a network file. Reading in nor plotting is a problem, however when I am trying to sample from the file I get the following message:   nwlim<-readShapeLines("C:/Limburg_nwshape", proj4string=CRS("+init=epsg:31300")) plot(nwlim)   randacc<-spsample(nwlim,n=1000,"random")

Hello I wonder if anybody can help, I am using the package adehabitatHR to estimate the potential distribution of a species using the command "domain" In the example given in the AdehabitatHS manual a map containing elevation information is loaded (class= spatial pixels data frame) as well as the GPS points of the animals being tracked, these are then plotted on each other and

Dear all, I am interested in plotting maps visualizing spatial statistics in an aggregated fashion, according to administrative boundaries. More specifically, I have fitted a cross-section model on data regarding Italian "counties" (province, for Italian readers) and I would like to visualize residual behavior on a map, in order to have a first assessment of their spatial

I'm trying to create maps of reptile abundance in different states & counties using data from Herp.net, which provides lists of specimens with the places that they were found. First I would like to parse the list by state using 2-letter abbreviations, since I'm focusing on certain regions. To do this, I've been trying to create a vector (state2) that gives all state names as

Dear R help list, ? I am working on some data from a study on the habitat use and movement patterns of fish using a marine protected area in Hawaii.? We have a number of acoustic receivers in a MPA, and any time a tagged fish passes within range it records the date and time of detection.? I am trying to make bubble plots?showing the number of detections for each fish at each receiver.? I have been

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

My sincerest apologies, as this is a very elementary problem, but I have searched through archives and FAQs and on the web, and I am at the end of my own resources. I need to do analysis of a spatial point process occuring with four counties, using spatstat. I've had no trouble importing the shapefiles, but I can't seem to figure out what I need to do in order to use the boundary as an

Hi is there a way in R to create a new column vector with the numbers of 2 others columns simply appended? Example : I have a column with provinces codes (1 to 19) I have a second column with districts codes (1 to ##, depending on the province) I want to create a third column with a code that would be unique for each district: Province  District   District_Unique 1             1            11

Dear all: I have a shapefile in UTM coordinate system and I would like to transform it to Lat/Log coordinates (WSG84). The package PBSmapping contains function convUL to transform between the two coordinate systems when data is in the form of a data frame with attributes specifying the coordinate system. However, when shapefiles are imported using function read.shape (package maptools), a list

Hello, I would like to know if (as the usa map with Splus), it is possible with R to plot the french map and to add points (representing towns for instance) on the figure in the appropriate (x,y) system. Thank you. Nathalie Peyrard

I have an address model with country_id and province_id fields There is also a full_address method that returns an address that is in a format that the google maps api will be able to return a long-lat coords. Within the full_address method there is a call to obtain the province/state and country name. --------- def full_address ... full_address = [city, self.province.name,
