I have a data file with 50 columns. Among them, there are two coordinates, X and Y
X Y 641673.78807 3607080.78438 641436.56207 3607108.30543 641165.28042 3607136.82957 640879.58373 3607116.20568 When I use read.table, it rounds X and Y to the maximal 8 decimal number as. 641673.8 3607081 641436.6 3607108 641165.3 3607137 640879.6 3607116 640683.5 3607105 My question is how to specify these two columns in read.table. Maybe colClasses helps but I have 50 columns...
