Just use a loop and collect the results in a list. BTW, R-Sig-Geo is a
special interest group mailing list specifically for these sorts of
questions regarding sp and rgeos packages (which you did not mention).
library(sp)
library(rgeos)
point <- data.frame(x=c(10,20), y=c(10, 10), z = c(2,7))
point_shp <- SpatialPointsDataFrame(point[,1:2],point)
l <- vector("list", nrow(point_shp))
for (i in seq_len(nrow(point_shp))) {
l[[i]] <- gBuffer(point_shp[i,], width = point_shp[i,]$z, byid=TRUE,
capStyle="ROUND")
}
plot(point_shp, xlim = bbox(point_shp)[1,] + c(-1, 1) *
max(point_shp$z), ylim = bbox(point_shp)[2,] + c(-1, 1) *
max(point_shp$z))
invisible(lapply(l, plot, add = TRUE))
Cheers, Mike.
