Subject: gIntersection versus intersect
For intersecting two polygon layers, is there any advantage of using
gIntersection (from the rgeos package) instead of intersect (from the
raster package)? After a few tests, it appears that intersect is a
little bit faster. Moreover, intersect automatically calculates the
associated dataframe, while gIntersection leaves the user making it.
Thanks for your awer(s).
