Hello I have the same problem, I've been meaning to explore further before posting, but since spproj is not on CRAN I don't think I've missed something obvious. This seems to be related to rgdal 0.4-4:
## using data from ?project example library(rgdal) ## project works OK data(state) res <- project(cbind(state.center$x, state.center$y), "+proj=lcc +lat_1=48 +lat_2=33 +lon_0=-100") res1 <- project(res, "+proj=lcc +lat_1=48 +lat_2=33 +lon_0=-100", inv=TRUE) ## but transform does not res <- SpatialPoints(res, CRS("+proj=lcc +lat_1=48 +lat_2=33 +lon_0=-100")) sessionInfo() #Version 2.3.0 (2006-04-24) #i386-pc-mingw32 #attached base packages: #[1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" #[7] "base" #other attached packages: # rgdal pixmap abind sp # "0.4-4" "0.4-4" "1.1-0" "0.8-14" transform(res, CRS("+proj=longlat")) #Loading required package: spproj #Error in transform(res, CRS("+proj=longlat")) : # for using (coordinate) transform on objects deriving from Spatial, library spproj is required #In addition: Warning message: #there is no package called 'spproj' in: library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
