I am trying to write a rather large neighborhood list to a .gal file
using the following code
write.nb.gal(Q1.nb, "Map
Data/subWeights.gal",oldstyle=FALSE,shpfile="submap.shp",ind="ind")
where ind is an array of numbers representing FIPS codes at the census
tract level (I also tried it using "STFID" which is the same data as a
column in the shapefile submap.shp) while I don't get any errors, my
.gal file uses the sequential id number from the shapefile (a
meaningless 1 to n number assigned by ArcGIS in the creation of the
shapefile). I have tried (in ArcGIS) converting the number assigned by
ArcGIS to my FIPS codes using Field Calculator, but this doesn't seem to
change anything. My concern is that the problem is perhaps the length of
the FIPS codes which are 10 or 11 digits each?
Is there something that I am missing that will allow me to use the more
meaningful FIPS codes in the gal file?
Thanks,
Chris Fowler
