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"

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

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

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.

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

I want to find the DOY (Day of Year) of some dates. I think to substract the date 1. January from the data to achive this. Something like: > d <- as.Date("2006-03-13") - as.Date("2006-01-01") +1 > d Time difference of 72 days So far so good. But d is a 'difftime' object. How do I get an Integer value from that? I tried severel things, incuding the

Hello R-users, I'm currently facing a pretty hard problem which I'm hopping you'll be able to help me with. I'm using R to create images.

Dear list I have a large data frame with house prices. Prices have been converted to price per m2, to be able to compare. Prices are spread over almost 10 years, each price is tagged with the year it relates to. I would like to 'normalize' all the prices to, eg. 2010 prices. The data frame looks like this > head(dafP) Y P 1 2004 11199.60 2 2005 15310.10 3 2005 19491.50 4
