Hello Everybody, I have been using R for quite some time, but am new to the topic of GEO-data, GIS and drawing maps in R.
I have found following paper, which introduces the usage of the package RArcInfo http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/DSC-2003/Proceedings/GomezRubio.p df. Unforutunately I could not find any files to the examples. My aim is to reproduce figure 6 on page 8. I found the data here http://www.grid.unep.ch/data/download/gnv158.zip which basically consists of 2 *.e00 files. I then started to convert these files and to read into R ----------------------------------------------- library(RArcInfo) e00toavc("euadmll.e00", "euadmll") e00toavc("eunamll.e00", "eunamll") arcsregio<-get.arcdata(".", "euadmll") palregio<-get.paldata(".", "euadmll") bnd.regio<-get.bnddata("info/", "euadmll.bnd") patregio<-get.tabledata("./info","euadmll.pat") nregio<-length(palregio[[1]][[1]]) plotpoly(arc=arcsregio, pal=palregio, bnd=bnd.regio, col="blue") ---------------------------------------------- So far it works, and I can even plot the map of europe but several things are worrying me: - I can only import euadmll.e00. The other file eunamll.e00, which consists of the names of the regions won't generates an empty folder, when converting. - I am not able to distinguish coastlines, national boundaries aso. Drawing maps would be a great feature and I hope you can help me, getting it to run. Thank you very much in advance and best regards, Markus [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
