Class "SpatialRingsDataFrame"

Description

class to hold polygons with attributes

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls to the function SpatialRingsDataFrame

Slots

data:

Object of class "data.frame"; attribute table

polygons:

Object of class "list"; see SpatialRings-class

plotOrder:

Object of class "integer"; see SpatialRings-class

bbox:

Object of class "matrix"; see Spatial-class

proj4string:

Object of class "CRS"; see CRS-class

Extends

Class "SpatialRings", directly. Class "Spatial", by class "SpatialRings".

Methods

No methods defined with class "SpatialRingsDataFrame" in the signature.

Note

SpatialRingsDataFrame with default ID matching checks the data frame row names against the Srings ID slots. They must then agree with each other, and be unique (no Srings objects can share IDs); the data frame rows will be re-ordered if needed to match the Srings IDs.

Examples

data(ncshp)
nc1 <- as.SpatialRings.Shapes(nc.shp$Shapes, as.character(nc.shp$att.data$FIPS))
df <- nc.shp$att.data
rownames(df) <- as.character(nc.shp$att.data$FIPS)
identical(rownames(df), getSRSringsIDSlots(nc1))
ncSRDF <- SpatialRingsDataFrame(nc1, df)
names(as(ncSRDF, "data.frame"))
identical(rownames(as(ncSRDF, "data.frame")), getSRSringsIDSlots(ncSRDF))
rrt <- as(ncSRDF, "data.frame")$SID74/as(ncSRDF, "data.frame")$BIR74
brks <- quantile(rrt, seq(0,1,1/7))
cols <- grey((length(brks):2)/length(brks))
dens <- (2:length(brks))*3
plot.SpatialRings(ncSRDF, col=cols[findInterval(rrt, brks, all.inside=TRUE)])
plot.SpatialRings(ncSRDF, density=dens[findInterval(rrt, brks, all.inside=TRUE)])
