I have a quick question: It appears that in rgdal v0.7-12 (R version 2.15.1, OSX 10.6.8) writeOGR will not write a shapefile the the current directory. Is this correct? An earlier version of rgdal must have allowed this because I have a older script that used to work, but doesn't now. So, as an example, here is what I get today: > shape = readOGR('.',

Hello R Community, I have imported a dataset which contain X Y coordinates and would like to recreate a shape file after some data analysis. 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

Dear List, I am trying to?plot?bathymetry contours around the Hawaiian Islands using the package rgdal and PBSmapping.? I have run into a memory limit when trying to combine two fairly small objects using cbind().? I have increased the memory to 4GB, but am being told I can't allocate a vector of size 240 Kb.? I am running R 2.11.1 on a Dell Optiplex 760 with Windows XP.? I have pasted

Hi, I want to use map("state") and have the ecoregion shape (please see link) file projected onto this. ftp://ftp.epa.gov/wed/ecoregions/cec_na/NA_CEC_Eco_Level3.zip ftp://ftp.epa.gov/wed/ecoregions/cec_na/NA_CEC_Eco_Level3.zip Could someone please show me how; I have never messed with this sort of thing.

Hola a todos Esta es mi primera pregunta en el grupo, y es sencilla pero me tiene atascado. Estoy tratando de cortar mi mapa de (poner limites en UTM) en un lugar definido como mi area de estudio (en este caso el sur de chile). Pero creo no estar usando bien la función CRS ponendo bien los limites requeridos. > study_area <- readRDS("CHL_adm0.rds") > study_area_UTM <-

Hi, ? I am trying to write a shapefile with projection. I have my data in a data.frame called try and consists in xy coordinates and a numerical attribute value z1. ?

Hi, I have done the interpolation for my data and I was able to create the contours in multipanel with the help of Pascal. Now, I want to clip the contour with the shapefile. I want only the portion of contour to be displayed which falls inside the boundary of the shapefile. The data mydata.csv can be found on https://www.dropbox.com/s/khi7nv0160hi68p/mydata.csv The data for shapefile can be

Hi I want to overlay my raster and its boundary which is a shapefile. When I used thise code separately, all is ok: # Open raster >Image<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Documents\\Nouveau\\Frequence.txt",sep="",dec=",",header=TRUE) >testo<-rasterFromXYZ(Image) >plot(testo) >testo2 <- aggregate(testo,fact=10, fun=mean) >plot(testo2) # open

Dear List, I am analyzing the home range area of fish and seem to have lost the individuals ID names during my manipulations, and can't find out how to rename them. I calculated the MCP of the fish using mcp() in Adehabitat. MCP's were converted to spatial points data frame and exported to qGIS for manipulations. At this point the ID names were lost. I brought the manipulated

Hi! Im new to R and I need to interpolate a shapefile using kriging. I've been able to plot/read the shapefile using the package maptools or rgdal. I've searched the internet for sample codes but most of the kriging codes that I've found done in R is done using txtfiles or CSVs.  An example could be of great help. Thanks.

Hi R users I need the map of France?s ? communes ? (towns) to build a map Is there a way to get it? More generally: How to do to get the map of a country and its different geographical levels?

Hi, I am stuck in a looping problem. It might be an easy problem for experienced R users but I have been unable to do it. Any kind of help or advice will be great appreciated. I am creating a spatial grid and have a list of spatial points in a folder. I can read the spatial points separately and get a count of the points in the spatial grid in R. The output should be a table showing the counts of

Hopefully the attachment will make it this time... Hi: I am practicing with the attached shapefile and was wondering if I can get some help.

I have read in Paul Murrell's book R Graphics about how to use a bitmap as background for a plot (page 107). Also, I routinely use function read.shape() in package maptools to read maps in shapefile format. Now, I would like to overlay an aerial photograph in .jpg format and a map. I think I could do the alignment manually for each case, but wonder if there is a better, automated way. I notice

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

Manuel: I changed your variable names from x to 'long' and y to 'lat' on the riqueza_out.csv file. The code below should do what you want. Also, since the legend title is kind of long, I broke it down into three lines so you can see more plot area. I am cc'ing the other groups so more people use it if needed. library(rgdal) library(ggplot2) library(sp) library(maptools)

Dear forum,   I am working in R 2.9.1 and I am trying to sample locations from a network file.

Hi, Doing more search i've discovered package RGDAL that can write a geotiff file with projection. I saved a geotiff file in UTM projection and if i read the file back in R and check the projection seems that everything is OK. But if i load the file in ArcGIS (ESRI product) i get the warning that the file is missing spatial reference so it cannot be projected, but it is displayed correctly.
