RArcInfo is a package for the R statistical program to import
|
||
|
|
Arc/Info V7.x binary coverages. It is based on the library Avcelib
|
||
|
|
written by Daniel Morissette.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, RArcInfo supports most of the file formats stored by these
|
||
|
|
type of coverages. The geographical information (arcs, polygons,
|
||
|
|
topological relationships, etc.) are stored using lists, but all the
|
||
|
|
tables containing related information are imported into a data frame.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the desired data are imported, the user can draw maps, even filling
|
||
|
|
the polygons according to the value of a given covariate. Although R is
|
||
|
|
not designed for heavy G.I.S. work, this package is very helpful to work
|
||
|
|
with binary coverages inside R.
