Dear Rgeos, Id like to know if there is some workaround to import the lines contained by a shape file, avoiding memory problems when the only thing you need is the lines it contains.
I mean, reading the lines of the world's coast lines can be done in a instant with: wcoastline <- PBSmapping::importShapefile("GSHHS_c_L1.shp")# However, reading a relatively small region, like the brazilian atlantic forest, seems impossible for my little laptop. I tried all of these possibilities. AF=PBSmapping::importShapefile("mata_atlantica.shp") AF=rgdal::readOGR("dir",layer="mata_atlantica") AF=shapefiles::read.shp("mata_atlantica.shp") Any hint would be very welcome.
