# Deleting shapefile polygons that doesn't much with record in the
merge dbf file
I want to do:
1. Delete polygons that doesn't have a match with record in joined /
merge table of the shapefile.
(Done transpose and merging - joined to one-to-one relationship already.)
2. Create a subset of the polygon and save shapefile or just save the
revise shapefile
3. Open in shapefile in QGIS and do spplot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
from 1 to 93 polygon
if table ID == polygon_ID then print("Polygon OK")
else delete the polygon
How do I delete the polygon and save?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
getwd()
setwd('C:\\Down2\\R_forestmgt\\modelIII\\')
library(rgdal)
forest <- readOGR(".", "ForestStand")
forest.dat <- slot(forest, "data") <------ is this necessary?
xlength<-nrow(forest.dat)
for (i in 1:xlength)
if (forest.dat$ID[x] == forest[ID[x] {print("Polygon OK")
} else { Delele Polygon}
writeOGR(forest, ".", "ForestStandNew", "ESRI Shapefile")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The script above doesn't run because I don't know how to delete
polygons. Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
