I think it's better not to specify the .shp extension, too: Assuming that test.shp, test.shx, and test.dbf are in your working directory (see setwd() for more on that): library(maptools) spdat <- readShapeSpatial('test') On Friday 16 October 2009 15:42:33 Danlin Yu wrote: > Sunny: > > For the f

Sunny: For the first case, you probably shall set the path to where you store your shapefiles in the R main menu. In addition, as the warning message indicates, the readShapeSpatial function probably is better for spatial data management than read.shape. For the second case, other than setting

[R-sig-Geo] Load point shape file

2009-10-16 Thread Sunny
I am trying to load my point shape file to R. I searched for hours and found there are two ways, one is read.shape and the other one is readOGR. I tried both but but can't do it successfully. Any help is appreciate. > x <- read.shape(system.file("test.shp", package="maptools")[1]) Error in getinfo

Emmanuel, It depends on your reason for exporting. You can use write.table with the DF of the SGDF object if you want ascii data to analyze elsewhere. Alternatively you can use rgdal to write the data to a geotiff file, if your purpose is display in a mapping program. Robert On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 a

Hi Rob, You could start with the maps available within R. Here is some text taken from page 88-89 from the ASDAR-book: " It is often attractive to make use of the spatial databases in the maps (comm: and also the mapdata) package. They can be converted to sp class objects using functions such

Dear all, after interpolation with the gstat package, I created a grid of class SpatialGridDataFrame. The grid is not regular. I tried to export it with write.asciigrid function but didn't succed, I suppose because of the non-regularity of my grid. How can I turn around that problem ? --

Re: [R-sig-Geo] Including SAGA grid as GDAL-supported format

2009-10-16 Thread Alexander Brenning
Hi, a GDAL interface to SAGA grids would of course be very welcome. Right now the easiest (but indirect) way of importing SAGA grids is with read.sgrd("mysagagrid") which uses rsaga.sgrd.to.esri (to a tempfile()) and then read.ascii.grid In the next RSAGA release I will consider using read

Tom, the idea is that you write (or find someone else to write) the required driver for gdal, in C++, and contribute this to the gdal project. If Frank Warmerdam then accepts it (which he usually will), the next version of gdal will have the support, and calls like meuse.grid <- readGDAL("meuse_so
