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, 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

Hello, I've installed the Becker and Wilks maps, mapdata, and mapproj packages so I can begin to try these out for some work I need to do on a map of Alaska but I don't know where to find a map of Alaska. Has anyone solved this already and could help? Thanks very much in advance, Caitlin

My goal is to prepare a thematic map of the US, with states shaded according to their values for a variable of interest. I would like to include an inset for Alaska in the upper left and an inset for Hawaii in the lower left. If possible, I'd like to use Albers conic projection, or something similar. Thus far I have tried using the maps package with its state database (which omits

My aim is to create a figure consisting of three maps: Alaska in the upper left corner, the 48 contiguous US states in the center right, and Hawaii in the lower left corner. In some ways the figure I'm trying to create is analogous to figure 1.5 in Paul Murrell's excellent "R Graphics", which combines a map of New Zealand with a map of the world. I tried adapting the code

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

The original S maps package, previously only available in R on Unix systems is now available in R for Windows. maps_2.0-2 and mapdata_2.0-2 (see below) in both source and Windows binary form (for rw1071) have been uploaded to CRAN, hopefully soon to appear. The key aspect of this package which differentiates it from other GIS related R packages under development is that it is standalone within

R users, In S, there was a function called usa() that would draw the map of the United States, plus it had other options for graphics. I have looked but I can't find the equivalent in R. Is there one? Thanks, Jason

Hi, I'm having trouble with the "which" or the "seq" function, I'm not sure. Here's an example : > lat=seq(1,2,by=0.1) > lat [1] 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0 > which(lat==1) [1] 1 > which(lat==1.1) [1] 2 > which(lat==1.2) [1] 3 > which(lat==1.3) [1] 4 > which(lat==1.4) [1] 5 > which(lat==1.5) [1] 6 >

Dear Helpers: I'm trying to use packages "maps" and "mapdata" (see blow) to display the research resutls on map (Mid-Atlantic region). In particular, I need to mark a number of points in the map by giving their latitude and longitude information. For instance, I would like to mark a point on (long, lat) =(75.56027, 39.09271). Also, I need to mark several cities that I

This is probably a faq but I have not been able to find a solution. I create a pdf file in R but latex complains that it can't find the bounding box.

Nearly a month ago I announced the availability of a Windows port of the maps for S package but for various reasons the Windows binaries did not appear on CRAN until yesterday. Now I am pleased to announce that the three packages maps_2.0-8 (the base maps package with low-resolution databases), mapdata_2.0-6 (high-resolution and other databases) and mapproj_1.1 (projection add-on for maps,

Hi there, Does it already exist a library in R to draw maps (something like a Generic Mapping Toolbox, http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/ port). I've seen in an old R-help that Ross Ihaka once tried to port the S-plus map library (http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/99b/0832.html ). Anybody know if this package is available somewhere or if there is somebody developing a Mapping package

Hi R-user, I am new with R and I have a problem with the map and mapproj fonctions : with the following code : >test_proj=mapproject(LONG_d01_vec_t1, LAT_d01_vec_t1, projection="lambert", parameters=c(30,60)) >longitude_vec=test_proj$x >latitude_vec=test_proj$y >longitude_mat=matrix(longitude_vec,ncol=e_sn_d01) >latitude_mat=matrix(latitude_vec,ncol=e_sn_d01)

Hi- I am trying to find a way to diffuse GIS data on a European map. I have a dataset consisting of particular locations scattered across Europe, along with magnitude and value information. I can plot these as discrete points with something like the following: "geocode" is a dataframe with four columns: LAT; LONG; MAGNITUDE;VALUE. library(maps) library(mapdata)

Hello, is there a package in R that would allow map drawing: coastlines, country/state boundaries, maybe topography, rivers etc? Thanks for any guidance, Mark
