Hi Roger et. al.!
Again, let me start by thanking the Spatial R group for almost 2 years of
fantastic help in my research. I am currently working on a part of my
puzzle that can be easily done in image processing software such as ENVI but
I am looking for an R solution. I have a list of lines objects gathered as
a SpatialLines object that "sits" on top of a SpatialGridDataFrame object.
I would like to collect all of the spectral intensity values (or z values)
from the "SpatialGridDataFrame" object that lie along the transect made from
any line of my SpatialLines object. Here is imaginary code for what I would
like to accomplish
library(sp)
tmp.lines <- Lines(Line(rbind(rank.max2.test[1,1:2], tmp.coords[1,])),
ID=as.character(1))
looplen <- nrow(tmp.coords)
for ( i in 2:looplen){
i <- Lines(Line(rbind(rank.max2.test[1,1:2], tmp.coords[i,])),
ID=as.character(i))
tmp.lines <- c(tmp.lines, i)
}
tmp.slines <- SpatialLines(tmp.lines, proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)))
where rank.max2.test[1,1:2]
[1] 945112.5 859834.5
And
tmp.coords[1,]
[1] 945110.6 859848.5
## The above code works great at producing a SpatialLines object with
nrow(tmp.coords) lines
NOW the part that doesn't work
Transect.values <- overlay(SGDF, tmp.slines[1])
Where SGDF is an object of class SpatialGridDataFrame.
Can this be accomplished as a SpatialLines class (or some polyline general
class) or does the overlay need points? If I must use points to extract the
SGDF values, is there a way to convert the SpatialLines object into a set of
point coordinates at fixed intervals along the line. Currently the lines
are only defined as starting and ending coordinates but I would want the
line "points" to occur every 1 meter along the line transect.
Many thanks in advance for any help in this endeavor,
Andrew
