Hi Everyone, Sorry folks, my email program, Netscape Communicator, cannot send text email correctly. So this attempt goes out in both html and text.
I have a nice solid SpatialPologonsDataFrame and a new line file (wkbLineString) called "major roads.shp". MY QUESTIONS. I would appreciate examples of a)How to merge the intersection of a **SpatialPologonsDataFrame and a wkbLineString b)How to plot the result. c)How to display the street name on the plot (that's FNAME from the major roads.dbf file). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The SpatialPologonsDataFrame is a garden variety collection of geographical polygons. > tx1_sp <- readShapePoly("precinct08.shp", IDvar="PCT", proj4string=CRS("+proj=aea +ellps=GRS80 +datum=WGS84")) The new file to intersect merge is major roads line map that should overlay part of my SpatialPolygons. It does not behave like a Shapfile. >main_roads <-readOGR("main roads.shp", layer = "main roads") OGR data source with driver: ESRI Shapefile Source: "main roads.shp", layer: "main roads" with 29161 rows and 33 columns Feature type: wkbLineString with 2 dimensions Thanks yet again, Jim Burke Jim Burke wrote: > I have a nice solid SpatialPologonsDataFrame and a new line file > (wkbLineString) called "major roads.shp". > > MY QUESTIONS. > > *I would appreciate examples of* > > *a)How to merge the intersection of a **SpatialPologonsDataFrame and a > wkbLineString ** > > b)How to plot the result > c)How to display the street name on the plot (that's FNAME from the > major roads.dbf file). > * > > > ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. > > The SpatialPologonsDataFrame is a garden variety collection of > geographical polygons. > > tx1_sp <- readShapePoly("precinct08.shp", IDvar="PCT", > proj4string=CRS("+proj=aea +ellps=GRS80 +datum=WGS84")) > > > > The new file to intersect merge is major roads line map that should > overlay part of my SpatialPolygons.
