Hello. Last week, I participated in FOSS4G 2007(http://www.foss4g2007.org) held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. In this conference's program , Barry Rowlingson presented "Delivering Tropical Medicine Solutions with Integrated Open Source GIS and Statistics." This presentation was about integrated system called "Arlat" using Quantum GIS for desktop mapping and R for the statistics engine connected by Python(http://www.foss4g2007.org/presentations/view.php?abstract_id=135). Unfortunately, I participated in another presentation and missed this one. I've developed SDAM(Spatial Data Analysis Machine) using R, R(D)COM and GeoTools. So I've been very interested in "Arlat." Does anyone has more information about this "Arlat." Regards.

Dear Hisaji, I found this technical report which may be of your interest: http://www.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1103&context=jhubiostat It describes the methodological methods and the implementation. There are some screen shots as well. Is anyone else doing similar stuff? I mean, developing a GIS for Spatial Epidemiology. I am very interested in the subject and I would like to know what is going on out there. Hisaji, could you send more information about your SDAM? Best, Virgilio

Hi all, I'm also very interested in GIS for spatial epidemiology. I attended Dr Rowlingson's talk and was really impressed with the use of QGIS as a client for developing add-ons in addition to its integration with R! I too am interested in any additional info and examples on this topic... Regards, Colin

I'll try and sort this out once I get back from my travels in a week or so! Barry

I've just uploaded my slides, although I'm not sure how much sense they make without my witty narrative that goes along with it :) Did anyone record my talk for posterity? Link here: http://www.foss4g2007.org/presentations/view.php?abstract_id=135 Barry
Barry, Thanks for the slides and congratulations for the hard work. My question nos is whether Arlat (and any other source code) available on-line. Best, Virgilio

I'm sorry I missed this talk Barry, but the slides were a pleasure to go through! What was the argument not to go with OpenEV with communication through Rserve? Thanks, -- Edzer

The source code of the R-package for Arlat is here: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/Software/Arlat/ BUT! There's very minimal documentation or examples. You may have trouble making it work, or even working out which functions to call. One day I'll write the documentation... Barry

Efficiency: Rserve has to convert the data to the Rserve wire protocol, send it down the loopback network and unconvert it at the other end, whereas Rpy does conversion in memory when needed and there's no transport. Simplicity: Using Rserve means making sure the separate Rserve process fires up when you need it, whereas Rpy just loads up libR.so (or .dll) and works like that. User-friendliness: OpenEV is not the most standard-looking GIS program on the planet - it was never really designed to be a general purpose vector and raster GIS anyway, which is what Qgis does well. That's probably enough reasons! Barry

Excellent presentation, on an excellent use of FOSS GIS+R !! Cheers, Dylan

Dear List,
I am using the filled.contour function with the argument plot.axis =
{map('worldHires',add=T)} to add the world map to my plot.
filled.contour(x,y,z,plot.axes = {map('worldHires',add=T,fill=T)})
The problem is that the longitudes of my matrix go from 0 (at Greenwich)
to 360 which seem not to be the same for the map function (whose
longitudes go from -180 to 180). Hence only one part of the map appears
on the plot (South Africa and Australia). Do you know a way to get the
whole map on the plot?
Cheers,
Anne

Two possibilities: forego higher resolution and use "world2" in maps, or manipulate x in the filled.contours() call, something like (untried): xx <- ifelse(x <= 180, x, -(360 - x)) which ought to work even if your x range extends below 0. Roger
