Hello all, I have had a incovenient trouble to read a shapefile that I suspect was encoded as "latin-1". Since I'm mac user and mac uses UTF-8, some kind of problem could be happen. I tryed some comand lines without success:
> brasil <- readShapeSpatial(file.choose(), proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat")) Error in getinfo.shape(fn) : Error opening SHP file > brasil <- readShapePoly("/Users/daniel/bases/maps/Brasil/55mu2500gsr.shp", > encoding="latin1") Error in readShapePoly("/Users/daniel/bases/maps/Brasil/55mu2500gsr.shp", : unused argument(s) (encoding = "latin1") Somebody know how can I open it?
