| as.SpatialPolygons.PolygonsList {sp} | R Documentation |
These functions show how SpatialPolygons objects may be built from data from shapefiles, from the maps package, and from ArcInfo e00 files.
as.SpatialPolygons.PolygonsList(Srl, proj4string=CRS(as.character(NA)) as.SpatialPolygons.Shapes(shapes, IDs, proj4string=CRS(as.character(NA))) as.SpatialPolygons.map(map, IDs, proj4string=CRS(as.character(NA))) as.SpatialPolygons.pal(arc, pal, IDs, dropPoly1=TRUE, proj4string=CRS(as.character(NA)))
Srl |
A list of Polygons objects |
shapes |
The Shapes component of a Map object as read by read.shape |
IDs |
Unique character ID values for each output Polygons object; the input IDs can be an integer or character vector with duplicates, where the duplicates will be combined as a single output Polygons object |
proj4string |
Object of class "CRS";
holding a valid proj4 string |
map |
Object returned by map containing polygon boundaries |
arc |
Object returned by get.arcdata |
pal |
Object returned by get.paldata |
dropPoly1 |
Should the first polygon in the AVC or e00 data be dropped; the first polygon is typically the compound boundary of the whole dataset, and can be detected by looking at the relative lengths of the list components in the second component of pal, which are the numbers of arcs making up the boundary of each polygon |
The functions return a SpatialPolygons object
