Hello, I looked at your problem and I can't understand it. What are your trying to do? It's not clear. Are you trying to find the points that are at less than 200m from ALL other points? Or at 200m of AT LEAST one other point? You have a distance matrix here, which is n*n, you can difficultly transpose that to your coordinates data frame which is n*2.
Have you thought of using the combination of rgeos::gBuffer() and over()? Maybe there's something there. Bastien Ferland-Raymond, M.Sc. Stat., M.Sc. Biol.

I should be left with 3 rows in xy. How do I do this?
