I am having difficulty loading a points shapefile (1600 records) I generated from ArcGIS as a PointsSpatialDataFrame using the maptools readShapePoints function. library(maptools) surveypts <- readShapePoints(system.file("C:/temp/survey.shp", package="maptools")[1] Error in getinfo.shape(filen) : Error opening SHP file I've tried numerous re-exports and renames of the

Hello, I'm having problems reading a shapefile with read.shape (maptools). I'm absolutely sure my file is there, but I get "no such file". The wd is ok, since read.table for example does find the file. > getwd() [1] "D:/somedirectory/R scripts" > read.table("cities.shp") Error in read.table("cities.shp") : empty beginning of file In addition:

A few years back, I wrote some code to plot maps with the maptools package. Now I am trying to reproduce my results, only to find out that maptools has been updated and my code no longer works. I've been able to fix the first part of it by forcing spb <- maptools:::read.shape("/home/sasha/Documents/maps/spb.shp") (as read.shape has been deprecated) but now when I do plot(spb,

Hi, I'd like to read a shapefile into a Map object. This is exactly what read.shape{maptools} is suppoed to do, according to the documentation I found in the link below. However, this doesn't seem to work library(maptools)x <- read.shape(system.file("shapes/sids.shp", package="maptools")[1])Error: could not find function "read.shape" I haven't

Hi list. I would like to know if someone had already successfully loaded and Arc/Info Ungenerated (.dat – extracted from http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast/getcoast.html) file on R. I’m able to do so with shape files using maptools functions, but these ungenerated data are making me crazy. I don’t have any of ArcGIS tools (one of them probably can do that), and I can’t find any free tool that

Dear list members, I am trying to use the maptools library to display geographical data. At the moment I have some trouble understanding how the " auxvar " variable is supposed to be used in the plot.Map function. I am using R Version 1.8.1 (2003-11-21) on Linux Looking at the plot.Map function itself, I see that it calls a color.ramp function (I am reporting only the relevant

What i have done is to import some taxlot data and join them based on some criteria. I want to check to see how well the joining went by reviewing the results in GIS. A couple things. I cant seem to import a shape file correctly using the maptools

Oscar, al final no he podido esperar hasta mañana Con: library(maptools)library(sp) poligonos <- readShapeLines("C:\\...\\DATOS\\MUNICIPIO.shp") sink("C:\\ ... \\DATOS\\MUNICIPIO.csv") coordinates(poligonos) Consigo un fichero con la suficiente estructura para tratarlo fácilmente y de una tacada montar la tabla .csv tal y como he indicado en un correo anterior Necesito el

Hola buenos días: Hace algún tiempo mandé una duda que sobre fichero tipo shapefile que publica el Instituto Geográfico Nacional de España y que detallo en el word Duda_sobre_shp. El tema es que al final no obtuve respuesta (es cierto que lo mandé en Agosto y en esa fechas entiendo que sea normal, por tanto por recomendación de un conocido vuelvo de nuevo a remitir la cuestión) Como no podía

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

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. El caso es que para el mapa de municipios en Andalucía, una vez leído el fichero shp con readShapePoly , si luego por ejemplo , quiero poner todos los polígonos de un color utilizando library(maps)

Hi, I was plotting or creating a map for Texas school districts using the shape file of Texas. I could not find any other helpful mail in the mailing list. txshp<-read.shape(system.file("S:\\Districts_10_11.shp", package="maptools")) Error- read.shape no found.

Hello, I would like to place region names (or abbreviations if space is too limited) on a map. I have tried the following, copying and adapting various examples I have seen but without success. The first example is self-contained, but the second one requires the .shp file, which can retrieved at http://www.gadm.org/country. ----- Example 1 ----- library(sp) con <-

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

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

Hello. I'm new on that forum, so I would use some help... I'm programing with R program, have some exercise to do. So here it goes. 1. I have to upload two libraryes "sp" and "maptools" 2.

Hello everybody, I'm trying to understand how to draw a smoothed scatterplot on a geographic map with R. Have a dataframe with point locations (long, lat) and was able to simply plot these points on a shp map by using the maptools package. However, instead of having simply the raw points on the map, I would like to have a "smoothed" scatterplot of the same superimposed on the map.

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

Greetings! I am trying plot some data on a map in R. Here's the scenario. I have a variable called probworkinghealthy which contains a predicted probability of employment for every individual in my sample (about 100,000 observations). I have another variable, called a001ter, which contains the subject of residency in the Russian Federation (akin to a US state) for every individual in the
