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 dataset, to no avail. I've
also tried placing the shapefile in the library's shapefile folder, with the
example dataset (see example below).
x <- readShapePoints(system.file("shapes/survey.shp", package="maptools")[1]
No luck there either. I'm quite new to R, but I can follow a manual and google
well enough. However, I haven't seen anything to help me. The example point
datasets load fine. I figure that I'm missing on some familiarity with R and
that I don't know the tricks yet. Any help?
Thanks in advance.
