merge Shape file

Thanks Roman,



I know the rgeos package but I?m not able to identify which tools
can replace the merge of ArcGIS.

I think you want the `rgeos` package that offers a plethora of
functions to work with "features".



Cheers,

Dear Bary,



Actually I have to do a geometrical merge operation.

I?m looking for the equivalent of ?merge? in ArcGIS.

Any clue?







What do you mean by merge? If the two shapefiles have the same set
of attributes then just read them into SpatialPolygonsDataFrames
and do s12 = rbind(s1,s2), and you end up with a SPDF which has all
the features from s1 and s2.

Or do you want to do some geometrical merge operation?
