Here is a small sample of the dataset I'm working with- the strings are really long for geometry, so apologies for the messiness.
df = data.frame(a=1:5, geom=c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n Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 3:30 PM Edzer Pebesma <edzer.pebe...@uni-muenster.de> wrote: > Without sharing a (minimal) reproducible example, it is unlikely that > someone else can help you find out whether this points to a problem in > your data, or in the software. > > On 10/15/19 2:31 PM, argunaw . wrote: > > When I run this, I get the following error: > > > > *Error in CPL_sfc_from_wkt(x) : OGR error* > > > > When I run it on my data, I get the same error. > > > > On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 2:16 PM Edzer Pebesma > > <edzer.pebe...@uni-muenster.de <mailto:edzer.pebe...@uni-muenster.de>> > > wrote: > > > > You may try something along these lines: > > > > # read data.frame with read.csv; here, we create an example by hand: > > df = data.frame( > > a = 1:3, b = 3:1, geom = c("LINESTRING(0 0, 1 1)", > > "LINESTRING(1 1,2 > > 2)", "LINESTRING(5 5,6 6)") > > ) > > > > library(sf) > > sf = st_sf(df, geom = st_as_sfc(df$geom)) > > sf > > > > > > On 10/15/19 1:58 PM, argunaw . wrote: > > > I'm not sure how it was exported from postgis- the person who gave > > me the > > > file wasn't the one who downloaded it unfortunately. > > > > > > The file is a line file of roads.
