Hello, I know I am forgetting to do something silly. I typed coordinates in vectors (as below) but when I call them in R they come out as integers, and I want them to be real numbers. I have tried using as.numeric, as.real, etc... but they are still read by R as integers. STX<-c(16.0962, 16.1227, 16.0921, 16.1498) STY<-c(2.0387, 2.0214, 1.9877, 1.9846) What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help, John
c() coverts real numbers to integers?

There are real numbers:
STX<-c(16.0962, 16.1227, 16.0921, 16.1498) STY<-c(2.0387, 2.0214, 1.9877, 1.9846) str(STX)
num [1:4] 16.1 16.1 16.1 16.1
str(STY)
num [1:4] 2.04 2.02 1.99 1.98
So what is your question?

Thanks! That solved it. I obviously had done something stupid. I just redefined my options(digits=7) and they are all there. Sorry for the silly question, and thanks for the suggestion towards options(). Thanks! John
