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('.', layer='S20_G75_V00_HAASHP10_R00') OGR data source with driver: ESRI Shapefile Source: ".", layer: "S20_G75_V00_HAASHP10_R00" with 169 features and 23 fields Feature type: wkbPolygon with 2 dimensions > writeOGR(shape, '.', layer='temp', driver='ESRI Shapefile', verbose=TRUE) Error in writeOGR(shape, ".", layer = "temp", driver = "ESRI Shapefile") : Creation of output file failed > writeOGR(shape, '/tmp', layer='temp', driver='ESRI Shapefile',verbose=TRUE) $object_type [1] "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame" $output_dsn [1] "/tmp" $output_layer [1] "temp" $output_diver [1] "ESRI Shapefile" $output_n [1] 169 $output_nfields [1] 23 $output_fields [1] "ID" "ANID" "F_AREA" "Avg_z" "Manning" [6] "IniWL" "IniSal" "DispCoeff" "HydRad" "veg1_DW" [11] "veg2_IW" "veg3_SW" "veg4_DC" "veg5_IC" "veg6_SC" [16] "veg7_Marsh" "veg8_Swamp" "Rain_StID" "Wetland" "Openwater" [21] "iniBed_m" "maxH_m" "BoxID" $output_fclasses [1] 0 4 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 4 $dataset_options NULL $layer_options NULL -- Scott M.
