Hi! I have no idea if this is maybe an easy task utilizing R since I read there is geographical map data in some package: I have a huge number of geographical points with their coordinates in Germany. Now I want to determine for each point in which "Bundesland" = state it is located. Can anybody tell me if this is doable relatively easy in R and if so give me some hints or links

Dear R-listers, I am using R for Windows Vista 64-bit. I have no experience working with maps, but now I have to plot a map of Denmark in which each Danish county is color-coded according to its incidence rate of a particular disease. My problem is that I don't know where to start. I have read the help files to packages like 'mapplot', and their examples indicate that I am on the

dear R-tists, i want to graph information for the German Federal States (Bundeslaender) using the maps package. unfortunately there is no maps for the German Bundeslaender. does anyone have an idea / a source where to get map data that can be used in the maps package that graphs structures below the country level. in the long run it would also be interesting to integrate Swiss Cantons and

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 Guys Thanks for this! As I am a beginner, I bet I'm running into some really basic problems. Using the example from the Map2poly function in maptools: try <- read.shape("euadmll.shp") mappolys <- Map2poly(try) # this produces 14 warnings() of the type: # 1: level 2 circularity at 62 in: .mtlbuild(.mtafters(r1), rD) # etc # 14: From next release, default hole handling

Dear all, I would like to employ a European map in a presentation. My idea was to use: library(mapdata) map("worldHires", c("Austria", "Switzerland", "Germany")) where I include all countries from my analysis as a vector of character strings like in the example above. Unfortunately, I was unable to specify the Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) or

Dear R experts, I am new to the list and R software. I need to convert arcview file to Winbugs having R has middle package. Got from friends that it is possible following the steps: 1. Converting arcview shapefile to "cgm clear text file" 2. Downloading "convert.r" to into R 2.1 use source("convert.r") 2.2 convert("filename_cgm") without the

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

Using the maptools function "map2poly" I have created a map/polylist object - a map of the Great Lakes. My goal is to passively plot additional data on this map. Unfortunately I am not able to change (distort) the relative scale of the axes for the map, and so the sample points do not line up correctly on the map. In the code below, notice that I have set the same axis ranges on each

Hi R-help I am trying to mask the ocean from an image plot I have made. Here is some example code: library(mapdata) image(x=110:155, y =-40:-10, z = outer(1:45, 1:30, "+"), xlab = "lon", ylab = "lat") outline <- map("worldHires", plot=FALSE) # returns a list of x/y coords xrange <- range(outline$x, na.rm=TRUE) # get bounding box yrange

Dear helpeRs, I'm working with the map-package and came upon a problem which I couldn't solve. I hope onee of you can. If not, this can be seen as a suggestion for new versions of the package. I'm trying to create a map of some European countries, filled with colors corresponding to some values. Let's say I have the following countries and I assign the following colors

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, In the moment i'm using the map and maptools package to read shapefiles and display the maps. I'm looking for the possibility to draw points (randomly positioned or positioned according to a grid) into the polygons instead of filling the polygons with colors. For example: a map (shapefile) with 10 countries, 15 points in the polygon of country A, 20 points in the

Greetings: I would like to kindly ask for a little help. The rough code is: #________________________________________________________ dat=data.frame(read.delim(file="all.txt", header = TRUE, sep = "\t", quote="\"", dec=".",na.strings = "NA")) nc=read.shape("astae.shp", dbf.data=TRUE, verbose=TRUE) mappolys=Map2poly(nc) submap

I have just learned how to play with map, but something weird (or not) is happening. Suppose I want to draw a map of two countries (that have disconnected components), like Argentina and Brazil. If I command: library(maps) library(mapdata) map("worldHires", c("Argentina", "Brazil")) It works fine. However, if I want to _colour_ the interior:

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 R users, I use R 2.4.0 on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.4.8, with a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. > sessionInfo() R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03) i386-apple-darwin8.8.1 locale: es_ES.UTF-8/es_ES.UTF-8/es_ES.UTF-8/C/es_ES.UTF-8/es_ES.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices"

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 R Gurus! There was a function in S called "usa()" which would plot the US. I found map('usa') in R for the lower 48 states. Is there a way to include Alaska and Hawaii as well, please? Thanks, Edna Bell

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
