GIS in R Command Cheat Sheet Vector Data Nick Eubank October 1, 2015 Creating Spatial Objects From Scratch Creating Points: Points: Note: if latitude and longitude coordinates, must be ordered longitude (x-coordinate), latitude (y-coordinate) Points with DF: Creating Lines: Line (single geometric line): Lines (single ”observations” potentially consisting of several basic lines, like a river): SpatialLines (collection of ”observations”, like shapefile): Spatial Lines with DF: Polygons: Polygon (one geometric shape defined by a single enclosing line): Polygons (single ”observations” potentially consisting of several basic shapes): SpatialPolygons (collection of ”observations”, like shapefile): Spatial Polygons with DF: During creation, will link rows to polygons by matching DataFrame to names of . After initial alignment based on names, relationship is based on order of rows. Importing and Exporting GPS Coordinates in Table: 1. Use to import DataFrame with lat long coordinates. 2. Note reverse ordering: longitude (x-coordinate), then latitude (y-coordinate). Read Vector-Based Files: Note: do not include extension (like ) in argument 1 Export Vector-Based Files: Shapefile:
