Hi everyone,
?????????????????????? I am new with spatial data analysis in R and I'm
not able
to read a shape because of this error message but the shapefile is in my
work directory.? Here are my
commands; ogrLireadstLayers("border.shp"),
border=OGR("border.shp","border"). What does it
mean?. Any help?
Yes, read the help files for the function you are using, and try out the
examples using shapefiles provided with the package. If still in doubt, look
at the OGR formats page to see how OGR reads shapefiles:
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html
where you also need dsn and layer arguments. Almost certainly:
ogrListLayers(".")
will list the shapefile layers in your working directory, and
border=OGR(".", "border")
will read the file if it is complete. Always also include the output of
sessionInfo() in questions, as the answer may depend on the version(s) of
package(s) - here rgdal, but not mentioned by you. Even better, give a
worked example of your problem - in constructing the question, you would
certainly have answered it yourself.
Other questions on spatial and spatio-temporal matters may be answered
faster on R-sig-geo.
