I have a follow up question regarding moving old (R <2.4) sp objects to
R 2.4. It is indeed easy using GRASS as an intermediary with spgrass6.
But one of my students has installed GRASS with the QGIS interface
rather than running GRASS under Cygwin. He wanted to do the same.
I tried with him and quickly got R to communicate with GRASS by simply
changing the first lines of system to read .....
function (command, intern = FALSE, wait = TRUE, input = NULL,
show.output.on.console = TRUE, minimized = FALSE, invisible = FALSE)
{
command<-paste(Sys.getenv("COMSPEC"),"/c",command)
etc}
But we still couldn't get spgrass6 to import and export raster layers
even after fiddling with the code to get rid of cygpath etc. Perhaps
Roger has a fix? It would be useful.
Also while posting, can anyone suggest a way of measuring the closest
distance between disjunct polygons in R (forest fragments)? Its easy to
use centroids in spdep, but we were interested in the distances between
the edges.
