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

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"

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

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.

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, we all know that R is powerful in dealing with graphics. I am now trying to use R to show some geographic attributes for a specific geographic area on a graph. For example, if I would like to generate a graph showing the population densities (in terms of the intensity of colors) for Illinois State by zip codes. I did some research; and it seems that package "maptools" is

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 there, This is summary and patch for a bug in read.dbf, demonstrating in Message-Id: <20050818150446.697835cb.stanimura-ngs at umin.ac.jp>. After consulting Rjpwiki, a cyber-community of R user in Japan, the cause was found, and the patch of solution was proposed. Overflowing occurs when we use read.dbf for reading a dbf file having a field of longer signed integer. For example, $

Dear R user, I am running R under Windows 2000. I am looking for a routine for importing - shape files (ESRI) into R - dbase files (FOXPRO) into R and I am looking for time-space models for description and prediction of Bernoulli-, Binomial- and Poissonvaraibles. Thank's a lot for a reply. Sincerely yours, Ekkehardt Altpeter Swiss Federal Office of Public

Hola a todos. Estoy utilizando R , más concretamente los paquetes maptools y sp, para realizar mapas de España por comunidades y provincias y de Andalucía por provincias y municipios.

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

Hi everybody: Could anybody help how I solve the next problem?. I'm doing interpolation maps of tropospheric ozone of my region, and after create it using IDW, and kriging methods, I want from shapefiles (*.shx, *.shp, *.dbf, *.sbx & *.sbn ) create contour over the interpolation maps. Could anybody tell me how do it?. Thanks in advance. ###################################### Antonio

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

Hi - I am doing some monte carlo simulations comparing bayesian (using Plummer's jags) and maximum likelihood (using lmer from package lme4 by Bates et al). I would like to know if there is a way I can flag nonconvergence and exceptions. Currently the simulations just stop and the output reads things like: Error in optim(.Call("lmer_coef", x, 2, PACKAGE = "Matrix"), fn,
