Title: Classes and Methods for Spatial Data
Description: Classes and methods for spatial data; the classes document where the spatial location information resides, for 2D or 3D data. Utility functions are provided, e.g. for plotting data as maps, spatial selection, as well as methods for retrieving coordinates, for subsetting, print, summary, etc. From this version, 'rgdal', 'maptools', and 'rgeos' are no longer used at all, see <https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html> for details.

Description

constructs SpatialXxxDataFrame from geometry and attributes

Usage

addAttrToGeom(x, y, match.ID, ...)

Arguments

x

geometry (locations) of the queries

y

data.frame object with attributes

match.ID

logical; if TRUE, the IDs of the geometry and of the data.frame are matched (possibly swapping records), and an error occurs when some IDs do not match

...

(optional) arguments passed to the constructor functions

Value

an object of class XxxDataFrame, where Xxx is the class of x

Methods

x = "SpatialPoints", y = "data.frame"
x = "SpatialPixels", y = "data.frame"
x = "SpatialGrid", y = "data.frame"
x = "SpatialLines", y = "data.frame"
x = "SpatialPolygons", y = "data.frame"

aggregation of spatial objects

Description

spatial aggregation of thematic information in spatial objects

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Spatial'
aggregate(x, by = list(ID = rep(1, length(x))),
	FUN, ..., dissolve = TRUE, areaWeighted = FALSE)

Arguments

x

object deriving from Spatial, with attributes

by

aggregation predicate; if by is a Spatial object, the geometry by which attributes in x are aggregated; if by is a list, aggregation by attribute(s), see aggregate.data.frame

FUN

aggregation function, e.g. mean; see details

...

arguments passed on to function FUN, unless minDimension is specified, which is passed on to function over

dissolve

logical; should, when aggregating based on attributes, the resulting geometries be dissolved? Note that if x has class SpatialPointsDataFrame, this returns an object of class SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame; deprecated

areaWeighted

logical; should the aggregation of x be weighted by the areas it intersects with each feature of by? See value; deprecated.

Details

For as far as these functions use package rgeos, (lines, polygons, dissolve = TRUE), they are deprecated as rgeos will retire; try using sf::aggregate instead.

FUN should be a function that takes as first argument a vector, and that returns a single number. The canonical examples are mean and sum. Counting features is obtained when summing an attribute variable that has the value 1 everywhere.

Value

The aggregation of attribute values of x either over the geometry of by by using over for spatial matching, or by attribute values, using aggregation function FUN.

If areaWeighted is TRUE, FUN is ignored and the area weighted mean is computed for numerical variables, or if all attributes are factors, the area dominant factor level (area mode) is returned. This computes the intersection of x and by; see examples below. As this uses code from package rgeos, it is deprecated as package rgeos will retire.

If by is missing, aggregates over all features.

Note

uses over to find spatial match if by is a Spatial object

Arguments

grd

GridTopology object

proj4string

object of class CRS-class

hex

SpatialPoints object with points that are generated by hexagonal sampling; see spsample

dx

spacing of two horizontally adjacent points; if missing, this will be computed from the points

Value

as.SpatialPolygons.GridTopology and as.SpatialPolygons.SpatialPixels return a SpatialPolygons object; IDvaluesGridTopology and IDvaluesSpatialPixels return a character vector with the object grid indices.

blue-pink-yellow color scheme, which also prints well on black/white printers

Description

Create a vector of ‘n’ “contiguous” colors.

Usage

bpy.colors(n = 100, cutoff.tails = 0.1, alpha = 1.0)

Arguments

n

number of colors (>= 1) to be in the palette

cutoff.tails

alpha

numeric; alpha transparency, 0 is fully transparent, 1 is opaque.

Value

A character vector, ‘cv’, of color names. This can be used either to create a user-defined color palette for subsequent graphics by ‘palette(cv)’, a ‘col=’ specification in graphics functions or in ‘par’.

Note

This color map prints well on black-and-white printers.

Convert character vector to DMS-class object

Description

These two helper functions convert character vectors and decimal degree vectors to the DMS-class representation of degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds. "DMS" objects cannot contain NAs.

Usage

char2dms(from, chd = "d", chm = "'", chs = "\"")
dd2dms(dd, NS = FALSE)

Arguments

from

character vector of degree, minute, decimal second data

chd

degree character terminator

chm

minute character terminator

chs

second character terminator

dd

numeric vector of decimal degrees

NS

logical, TRUE for north/south decimal degrees, FALSE for east/west decimal degrees

Details

In char2dms, the input data vector should use a regular format, such as that used in the PROJ.4 library, with a trailing capital (NSWE) indicating compass direction.

Value

Both functions return a "DMS" object.

Methods

from = "DMS", to = "numeric"

coerce a "DMS" object to a "numeric" vector

from = "DMS", to = "character"

coerce a "DMS" object to a "character" vector (the as.character.DMS S3 method is also available)

Class "CRS" of coordinate reference system arguments

Description

Interface class to the PROJ projection and transformation system. The class is defined as an empty stub accepting value NA in the sp package. The initiation function may call the PROJ library through sf to verify the argument set against those known in the library, returning error messages where necessary. If the "CRS" object is instantiated using CRS() with sf using PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3, the object may also have a WKT2 (2019) string carried as a comment. The arguments for a Proj.4 string must be entered exactly as in the Proj.4 documentation, in particular there cannot be any white space in +<key>=<value> strings, and successive such strings can only be separated by blanks. Note that only “+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84” is accepted for geographical coordinates, which must be ordered (eastings, northings); the “+ellps=” definition must be given (or expanded internally from a given “+datum=” value) for recent versions of the Proj.4 library, and should be set to an appropriate value.

Usage

CRS(projargs, doCheckCRSArgs=TRUE, SRS_string=NULL, get_source_if_boundcrs=TRUE,
 use_cache=TRUE)
identicalCRS(x,y)

Arguments

projargs

A character string of projection arguments; the arguments must be entered exactly as in the PROJ.4 documentation; if the projection is unknown, use as.character(NA), it may be missing or an empty string of zero length and will then set to the missing value. With sf built with PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3, the +init= key may only be used with value epsg:<code>. From sp version 1.4-4, the string associated with the SRS_string argument may be entered as-is and will be set as SRS_string if the projargs argument does not begin with a + (suggested by Mikko Vihtakari).

doCheckCRSArgs

default TRUE

SRS_string

default NULL, only used when sf is built with PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3; a valid WKT string or SRS definition such as "EPSG:4326" or "ESRI:102761"

get_source_if_boundcrs

(from rgdal 1.5-17, default TRUE) The presence of the +towgs84= key in a Proj4 string projargs= argument value may promote the output WKT2 CRS to BOUNDCRS for PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3, which is a coordinate operation from the input datum to WGS84. This is often unfortunate, so a PROJ function is called through rgdal to retrieve the underlying source definition.

use_cache

default TRUE, if FALSE ignore cached lookup values

x

object having a proj4string method, or if y is missing, list with objects that have a proj4string method

y

object of class Spatial, or having a proj4string method

Value

CRS returns on success an object of class CRS. identicalCRS returns a logical, indicating whether x and y have identical CRS, or if y is missing whether all objects in list x have identical CRS.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form CRS("projargs"), where "projargs" is a valid string of PROJ.4 arguments. If the argument is a zero-length string or a character NA, the object records NA. If the "CRS" object is instantiated using CRS() with sf using PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3, the object may also have a WKT2 (2019) string carried as a comment. The initiation function may call the PROJ library through sf to verify the argument set against those known in the library, returning error messages where necessary.

Slots

projargs:

Object of class "character": projection arguments; the arguments must be entered exactly as in the PROJ.4 documentation, in particular there cannot be any white space in +<arg>=<value> strings, and successive such strings can only be separated by blanks.

Methods

show

signature(object = "CRS"): print deprecated Proj.4 projection arguments and WKT2 2019 representation if available

wkt

signature(object = "CRS"): return WKT comment on object

rebuild_CRS

rebuild a CRS object, usually used to add a WKT comment with PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3

Note

Lists of projections may be seen by using the programs installed with the PROJ.4 library, in particular proj and cs2cs; with the latter, -lp lists projections, -le ellipsoids, -lu units, and -ld datum(s) known to the installed software (available in sf using sf_proj_info). These are added to in successive releases, so tracking the website or compiling and installing the most recent revisions will give the greatest choice. Finding the very important datum transformation parameters to be given with the +towgs84 tag is a further challenge, and is essential when the datums used in data to be used together differ. Tracing projection arguments is easier now than before the mass ownership of GPS receivers raised the issue of matching coordinates from different argument sets (GPS output and paper map, for example). See GridsDatums, sf_proj_info for help in finding CRS definitions.

The 4.9.1 release of the PROJ library omitted a small file of defaults, leading to reports of “major axis or radius = 0 or not given” errors. From 0.9-3, rgdal checks for the presence of this file (proj_def.dat), and if not found, and under similar conditions to those used by PROJ.4, adds “+ellps=WGS84” to the input string being checked by checkCRSArgs The “+no_defs” tag ignores the file of defaults, and the default work-around implemented to get around this problem; strings including “init” and “datum” tags also trigger the avoidance of the work-around. Now messages are issued when a candidate CRS is checked; they may be suppressed using suppressMessages.

From release 6 of the PROJ library, when used in building sf with GDAL >= 3, the +datum= key in the Proj.4 string CRS representation is deprecated, and the +towgs84= and +nadgrids= keys may be deprecated soon. For this reason, sp and sf are starting to use WKT2 (2019) string representations. In sp, the "CRS" object in itself remains unchanged, but the content of its "projargs" slot may be degraded. To work around the degradation, a comment is added around the "CRS" object containing a WKT2 (2019) string when sf is available and built with PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >=3.

Methods for Function elide in Package ‘maptools’

Description

Methods for function elide to translate and disguise coordinate placing in the real world.

Usage

elide(obj, ...)

Arguments

obj

object to be elided

...

other arguments:

bb

if NULL, uses bounding box of object, otherwise the given bounding box

shift

values to shift the coordinates of the input object; this is made ineffective by the scale argument

reflect

reverse coordinate axes

scale

if NULL, coordinates not scaled; if TRUE, the longer dimension is scaled to lie within [0,1] and aspect maintained; if a scalar, the output range of [0,1] is multiplied by scale

flip

translate coordinates on the main diagonal

rotate

default 0, rotate angle degrees clockwise around center

center

default NULL, if not NULL, the rotation center, numeric of length two

unitsq

logical, default FALSE, if TRUE and scale TRUE, impose unit square bounding box (currently only points)

Value

The methods return objects of the input class object with elided coordinates; the coordinate reference system is not set. Note that if the input coordinates or centroids are in the data slot data.frame of the input object, they should be removed before the use of these methods, otherwise they will betray the input positions.

Methods

obj = "SpatialPoints"

elides object

obj = "SpatialPointsDataFrame"

elides object

obj = "SpatialLines"

elides object

obj = "SpatialLinesDataFrame"

elides object

obj = "SpatialPolygons"

elides object

Methods for retrieving the geometry from a composite (geometry + attributes) object

Description

geometry retrieves the SpatialXxx object from a SpatialXxxDataFrame object, with Xxx Lines, Points, Polygons, Grid, or Pixels. geometry<- converts a data.frame into a Spatial object.

Usage

geometry(obj) 
geometry(obj) <- value

Arguments

obj

in case of assignment, a data.frame, else an object of class Spatial

value

object of class Spatial

Methods

obj = "Spatial"
obj = "SpatialPointsDataFrame"
obj = "SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame"
obj = "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame"
obj = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"
obj = "SpatialGridDataFrame"
obj = "SpatialLinesDataFrame"

Author(s)

Edzer Pebesma, [email protected]

Examples

data(meuse)
m = meuse
coordinates(m) = meuse[, c("x", "y")]
pts = geometry(m)
class(pts)
geometry(meuse) = pts
class(meuse)
identical(m, meuse) # TRUE

specify spatial data as being gridded, or find out whether they are

Description

returns logical (TRUE or FALSE) telling whether the object is gridded or not; in assignment promotes a non-gridded structure to a gridded one, or demotes a gridded structure back to a non-structured one.

Usage

gridded(obj)
	gridded(obj) <- value
	fullgrid(obj)
	fullgrid(obj) <- value
	gridparameters(obj)

Arguments

obj

object deriving from class "Spatial" (for gridded), or object of class SpatialGridDataFrame-class (for fullgrid and gridparameters)

value

logical replacement values, TRUE or FALSE

Value

if obj derives from class Spatial, gridded(object) will tell whether it is has topology on a regular grid; if assigned TRUE, if the object derives from SpatialPoints and has gridded topology, grid topology will be added to object, and the class of the object will be promoted to SpatialGrid-class or SpatialGridDataFrame-class

fullgrid returns a logical, telling whether the grid is full and ordered (i.e., in full matrix form), or whether it is not full or unordered (i.e. a list of points that happen to lie on a grid. If assigned, the way the points are stored may be changed. Changing a set of points to full matrix form and back may change the original order of the points, and will remove duplicate points if they were present.

gridparameters returns, if obj inherits from SpatialGridDataFrame its grid parameters, else it returns numeric(0). The returned value is a data.frame with three columns, named cellcentre.offset ("lower left cell centre coordinates"), cellsize, and cells.dim (cell dimension); the rows correspond to the spatial dimensions.

Methods

obj = "Spatial"

object deriving from class "Spatial"

Examples

# just 9 points on a grid:
x <- c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3)
y <- c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3)
xy <- cbind(x,y)
S <- SpatialPoints(xy)
class(S)
plot(S)
gridded(S) <- TRUE
gridded(S)
class(S)
summary(S)
plot(S)
gridded(S) <- FALSE
gridded(S)
class(S)

# data.frame
data(meuse.grid)
coordinates(meuse.grid) <- ~x+y
gridded(meuse.grid) <- TRUE
plot(meuse.grid) # not much good
summary(meuse.grid)

create neighbourhood (nb) object from grid geometry

Description

create neighbourhood (nb) object from grid geometry

Usage

gridIndex2nb(obj, maxdist = sqrt(2), fullMat = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

obj

object of class SpatialGrid or SpatialPixels

maxdist

maximum distance to be considered (inclusive), expressed in number of grid cell (sqrt(2) results in queen neighbours)

fullMat

use dist to compute distances from grid (row/col) indices; FALSE avoids forming the full distance matrix, at a large performance cost

...

arguments passed on to dist

Value

Object of class nb, which is a list.

The nb object follows the convention of nb objects in package spdep; it is a list with each list element corresponding to a grid cell or pixel; the list element contains the indices of neighbours defined as cells less than maxdist away, measured in cell unit (N/S/E/W neighbour has distance 1).

Note

Unequal grid cell size is ignored; grid cell row/col indices are taken to be the coordinates from which distances are computed.

Create N-S and E-W grid lines over a geographic region

Description

Create N-S and E-W grid lines over a geographic region; create and plot corresponding labels

Usage

gridlines(x, easts = pretty(bbox(x)[1,]), norths = pretty(bbox(x)[2,]),
 ndiscr = 100) 
gridat(x, easts = pretty(bbox(x)[1,]), norths = pretty(bbox(x)[2,]),
 offset = 0.5, side = "WS")
## S3 method for class 'SpatialLines'
labels(object, labelCRS, side = 1:2, ...)
## S3 method for class 'SpatialPointsDataFrame'
text(x, ...)

Arguments

x

object deriving from class Spatial-class

easts

numeric; east-west values for vertical lines

norths

numeric; north-south values for horizontal lines

ndiscr

integer; number of points used to discretize the line, could be set to 2, unless the grid is (re)projected

offset

offset value to be returned, see text

object

SpatialLines-class object, as returned by gridlines

labelCRS

the CRS in which the grid lines were drawn and labels should be printed; if missing, the CRS from object is taken

side

for labels: integer, indicating side(s) at which gridlines labels will be drawn: 1=below (S), 2=left (W), 3=above (N), and 4=right (E); for gridat: default “WS”, if “EN” labels placed on the top and right borders

...

for labels: ignored; for text: arguments passed on to text, see below for example use of adj

Value

gridlines returns an object of class SpatialLines-class, with lines as specified; the return object inherits the projection information of x; gridat returns a SpatialPointsDataFrame with points at the west and south ends of the grid lines created by gridlines, with degree labels.

The labels method for SpatialLines objects returns a SpatialPointsDataFrame-class object with the parameters needed to print labels below and left of the gridlines. The locations for the labels are those of proj4string(object) the labels also unless labelCRS is given, in which case they are in that CRS. This object is prepared to be plotted with text:

The text method for SpatialPointsDataFrame puts text labels on its coordinates, and takes care of attributes pos, labels, srt and offset; see text.

contour(x, attr = 1, xcol = 1, ycol = 2,
	col = 1, add = FALSE, xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, axes = FALSE,
         ..., setParUsrBB = FALSE)
## S3 method for class 'SpatialPixelsDataFrame'
contour(x, ...) 
as.image.SpatialGridDataFrame(x, xcol = 1, ycol = 2, attr = 1)
image2Grid(im, p4 = as.character(NA), digits=10)

Arguments

x

object of class SpatialGridDataFrame

attr

column of attribute variable; this may be the column name in the data.frame of data (as.data.frame(data)), or a column number

xcol

column number of x-coordinate, in the coordinate matrix

ycol

column number of y-coordinate, in the coordinate matrix

col

a vector of colors

red, green, blue

columns names or numbers given instead of the attr argument when the data represent an image encoded in three colour bands on the 0-255 integer scale; all three columns must be given in this case, and the attribute values will be constructed using function rgb

axes

logical; should coordinate axes be drawn?

xlim

x-axis limits

ylim

y-axis limits

zlim

data limits for plotting the (raster, attribute) values

add

logical; if FALSE, the image is added to the plot layout setup by plot(as(x, "Spatial"),axes=axes,xlim=xlim,ylim=ylim,asp=asp) which sets up axes and plotting region; if TRUE, the image is added to the existing plot.

...

arguments passed to image, see examples

asp

aspect ratio to be used for plot

setParUsrBB

default FALSE, see Spatial-class for further details

useRasterImage

if TRUE, use rasterImage to render the image if available; for legacy rendering set FALSE; should be FALSE on Windows SDI installations

breaks

class breaks for coloured values

interpolate

default FALSE, a logical vector (or scalar) indicating whether to apply linear interpolation to the image when drawing, see rasterImage

angle

default 0, angle of rotation (in degrees, anti-clockwise from positive x-axis, about the bottom-left corner), see rasterImage

im

list with components named x, y, and z, as used for image

p4

CRS object, proj4 string

digits

default 10, number of significant digits to use for checking equal row/column spacing

Value

as.image.SpatialGridDataFrame returns the list with elements x and y, containing the coordinates of the cell centres of a matrix z, containing the attribute values in matrix form as needed by image.

Note

Providing xcol and ycol attributes seems obsolete, and it is for 2D data, but it may provide opportunities for plotting certain slices in 3D data. I haven't given this much thought yet.

filled.contour seems to misinterpret the coordinate values, if we take the image.default manual page as the reference.

Sets or retrieves projection attributes on classes extending SpatialData

Description

Sets or retrieves projection attributes on classes extending SpatialData; set or retrieve option value for error or warning on exceedance of geographical coordinate range, set or retrieve option value for exceedance tolerance of geographical coordinate range. Note that only “+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84” is accepted for geographical coordinates, which must be ordered (eastings, northings); the “+ellps=” definition must be given (or expanded internally from a given “+datum=” value) for recent versions of the PROJ library, and should be set to an appropriate value.

From release 6 of the PROJ library, when used in building rgdal with GDAL >= 3, the +datum= key in the Proj.4 string CRS representation is deprecated, and the +towgs84= and +nadgrids= keys may be deprecated soon. For this reason, sp, rgdal and sf are starting to use WKT2 (2019) string representations. In sp, the "CRS" object in itself remains unchanged, but the content of its "projargs" slot may be degraded. To work around the degradation, a comment is added around the "CRS" object containing a WKT2 (2019) string when rgdal is available and built with PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >=3. The wkt() accessor function returns the WKT2 (2019) string comment belonging to the "CRS" object.

Usage

is.projected(obj)
proj4string(obj)
proj4string(obj) <- value
wkt(obj)
get_ll_warn()
get_ll_TOL()
get_ReplCRS_warn()
set_ll_warn(value)
set_ll_TOL(value)
set_ReplCRS_warn(value)

Arguments

obj

An object of class or extending Spatial-class

value

For proj4string CRS object, containing a valid proj4 string; attempts to assign an object containing “longlat” to data extending beyond longitude [-180, 360] or lattitude [-90, 90] will be stopped. For set_ll_warn a single logical value, if FALSE (default) error on range exceedance, if TRUE, warning. For set_ll_TOL the value of the power of .Machine$double.eps (default 0.25) to use as tolerance in testing range exceedance. set_ReplCRS_warn may be used to turn off warnings issued when changing object CRS with the proj4string replacement method (by setting value=FALSE).

Details

proj4 strings are operative through CRAN package rgdal. For strings defined as “longlat”, the minimum longitude should be -180, the maximum longitude 360, the minimum latitude -90, and the maximum latitude 90. Note that the proj4string replacement method does not project spatial data - for this use spTransform methods in the rgdal package.

Value

is.projected returns a logical that may be NA; proj4string returns a character vector of length 1.

the ylim argument passed (or derived from bounding box)

x

numeric; values at which tics and marks will be generated

Value

mapasp is used for the aspect argument in lattice plots and spplot;

let x = dy/dx, with dy and dx the y- and x-size of the map.

let s = 1/cos((My * pi)/180) with My the y coordinate of the middle of the map (the mean of ylim)

for latlong (longlat) data, mapasp returns s * x. for other data, mapasp returns "iso".

Note

the values for x are typically obtained from axTicks

Meuse river data set

Description

This data set gives locations and topsoil heavy metal concentrations, along with a number of soil and landscape variables at the observation locations, collected in a flood plain of the river Meuse, near the village of Stein (NL). Heavy metal concentrations are from composite samples of an area of approximately 15 m x 15 m.

Usage

data(meuse)

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

x

a numeric vector; Easting (m) in Rijksdriehoek (RDH) (Netherlands topographical) map coordinates

y

a numeric vector; Northing (m) in RDH coordinates

cadmium

topsoil cadmium concentration, mg kg-1 soil ("ppm"); zero cadmium values in the original data set have been shifted to 0.2 (half the lowest non-zero value)

copper

topsoil copper concentration, mg kg-1 soil ("ppm")

lead

topsoil lead concentration, mg kg-1 soil ("ppm")

zinc

topsoil zinc concentration, mg kg-1 soil ("ppm")

elev

relative elevation above local river bed, m

dist

distance to the Meuse; obtained from the nearest cell in meuse.grid, which in turn was derived by a spread (spatial distance) GIS operation, horizontal precision 20 metres; then normalized to $[0,1]$

om

organic matter, kg (100 kg)-1 soil (percent)

ffreq

flooding frequency class: 1 = once in two years; 2 = once in ten years; 3 = one in 50 years

soil

soil type according to the 1:50 000 soil map of the Netherlands. 1 = Rd10A (Calcareous weakly-developed meadow soils, light sandy clay); 2 = Rd90C/VII (Non-calcareous weakly-developed meadow soils, heavy sandy clay to light clay); 3 = Bkd26/VII (Red Brick soil, fine-sandy, silty light clay)

lime

lime class: 0 = absent, 1 = present by field test with 5% HCl

landuse

landuse class: Aa Agriculture/unspecified = , Ab = Agr/sugar beetsm, Ag = Agr/small grains, Ah = Agr/??, Am = Agr/maize, B = woods, Bw = trees in pasture, DEN = ??, Fh = tall fruit trees, Fl = low fruit trees; Fw = fruit trees in pasture, Ga = home gardens, SPO = sport field, STA = stable yard, Tv = ?? , W = pasture

dist.m

distance to river Meuse in metres, as obtained during the field survey

Note

row.names refer to the original sample number.

Soil units were mapped with a minimum delination width of 150 m, and so somewhat generalize the landscape.

Approximate equivalent World Reference Base 2002 for Soil Resources names are: Rd10A Gleyic Fluvisols; Rd90C Haplic Fluvisols; Bkd26 Haplic Luvisols. Units Rd90C and Bkd26 have winter groundwater > 80cm, summer > 120cm depth.

consistent spatial overlay for points, grids and polygons

Description

consistent spatial overlay for points, grids and polygons: at the spatial locations of object x retrieves the indexes or attributes from spatial object y

Usage

over(x, y, returnList = FALSE, fn = NULL, ...)
x %over% y

Arguments

x

geometry (locations) of the queries

y

layer from which the geometries or attributes are queried

returnList

logical; see value

fn

(optional) a function; see value

...

arguments passed on to function fn, except for the special argument minDimension: minimal dimension for an intersection to be counted; -1 takes any intersection, and does not order; 0 takes any intersection but will order according to dimensionality of the intersections (if returnList is TRUE, 1 (2) selects intersections with dimension 1, meaning lines (2, meaning areas); see vignette("over") for details

Value

If y is only geometry an object of length length(x). If returnList is FALSE, a vector with the (first) index of y for each geometry (point, grid cell centre, polygon or lines) matching x. if returnList is TRUE, a list of length length(x), with list element i the vector of all indices of the geometries in y that correspond to the $i$-th geometry in x.

If y has attribute data, attribute data are returned. returnList is FALSE, a data.frame with number of rows equal to length(x) is returned, if it is TRUE a list with length(x) elements is returned, with a list element the data.frame elements of all geometries in y that correspond to that element of x.

Methods

x = "SpatialPoints", y = "SpatialPolygons"

returns a numeric vector of length equal to the number of points; the number is the index (number) of the polygon of y in which a point falls; NA denotes the point does not fall in a polygon; if a point falls in multiple polygons, the last polygon is recorded.

x = "SpatialPointsDataFrame", y = "SpatialPolygons"

equal to the previous method, except that an argument fn=xxx is allowed, e.g. fn = mean which will then report a data.frame with the mean attribute values of the x points falling in each polygon (set) of y

x = "SpatialPoints", y = "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame"

returns a data.frame of the second argument with row entries corresponding to the first argument

x = "SpatialPolygons", y = "SpatialPoints"

returns the polygon index of points in y; if x is a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, a data.frame with rows from x corresponding to points in y is returned.

x = "SpatialGridDataFrame", y = "SpatialPoints"

returns object of class SpatialPointsDataFrame with grid attribute values x at spatial point locations y; NA for NA grid cells or points outside grid, and NA values on NA grid cells.

x = "SpatialGrid", y = "SpatialPoints"

returns grid values x at spatial point locations y; NA for NA grid cells or points outside the grid

x = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame", y = "SpatialPoints"

returns grid values x at spatial point locations y; NA for NA grid cells or points outside the grid

x = "SpatialPixels", y = "SpatialPoints"

returns grid values x at spatial point locations y; NA for NA grid cells or points outside the grid

x = "SpatialPoints", y = "SpatialGrid"

xx

x = "SpatialPoints", y = "SpatialGridDataFrame"

xx

x = "SpatialPoints", y = "SpatialPixels"

xx

x = "SpatialPoints", y = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"

xx

x = "SpatialPolygons", y = "SpatialGridDataFrame"

xx

Note

over can be seen as a left outer join in SQL; the match is a spatial intersection.

points on a polygon boundary and points corresponding to a polygon vertex are considered to be inside the polygon.

These methods assume that pixels and grid cells are never overlapping; for objects of class SpatialPixels this is not guaranteed.

Note

The panel functions of spplot, panel.gridplot for grids, panel.pointsplot for points, or panel.polygonsplot for lines or polygons can be called with arguments (x,y,...). Customizing spplot plots can be done by extending the panel function, or by supplying an sp.layout argument; see the documentation for spplot. Inside these panel functions, sp.panel.layout is called to deal with plotting the items in a sp.layout object.

SpatialPolygonsRescale scales and shifts an object of class SpatialPolygons-class; this is useful e.g. for scale bars, or other layout items.

sp.lines, sp.points, sp.polygons and sp.text plot lines, points, polygons or text in a panel.

spplot.key draws the sp.layout object at given rows/cols.

sp.pagefn can be passed as a page argument, and will call function spplot.key for the last panel drawn on a page.

	polygons(object) <- value

Arguments

obj

object of class "SpatialPolygons" or "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame"

object

object of class "data.frame"

value

object of class "SpatialPolygons"

Value

polygons returns the SpatialPolygons of obj; polygons<- promotes a data.frame to a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object

Examples

grd <- GridTopology(c(1,1), c(1,1), c(10,10))
polys <- as.SpatialPolygons.GridTopology(grd)
centroids <- coordinates(polys)
x <- centroids[,1]
y <- centroids[,2]
z <- 1.4 + 0.1*x + 0.2*y + 0.002*x*x
df <- data.frame(x=x, y=y, z=z, row.names=row.names(polys))
polygons(df) <- polys
class(df)
summary(df)

Class "Polygons"

Description

Collection of objects of class "Polygon"

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls to the function Polygons

Slots

Polygons:

Object of class "list"; list with objects of class Polygon-class

plotOrder:

Object of class "integer"; order in which the Polygon objects should be plotted, currently by order of decreasing size

labpt:

Object of class "numeric"; pair of x, y coordinates giving a label point, the label point of the largest polygon component

ID:

Object of class "character"; unique identifier string

area:

Object of class "numeric"; the gross total planar area of the Polygon list but not double-counting holes (changed from 0.9-58 - islands are summed, holes are ignored rather than subtracted); these values are used to make sure that polygons of a smaller area are plotted after polygons of a larger area, does not respect projection as objects of this class have no projection defined

Methods

No methods defined with class "Polygons" in the signature.

Note

By default, single polygons (where Polygons is a list of length one) are not expected to be holes, but in multiple polygons, hole definitions for member polygons can be set. Polygon objects belonging to an Polygons object should either not overlap one-other, or should be fully included (as lakes or islands in lakes). They should not be self-intersecting. Checking of hole FALSE/TRUE status for Polygons objects is now handled by round-trip coercion to sf and back to sp.

Methods for Function recenter in Package ‘sp’

Description

Methods for function recenter in package sp to shift or re-center geographical coordinates for a Pacific view. All longitudes < 0 are added to 360, to avoid for instance parts of Alaska being represented on the far left and right of a plot because they have values straddling 180 degrees. In general, using a projected coordinate reference system is to be preferred, but this method permits a geographical coordinate reference system to be used. This idea was suggested by Greg Snow, and corresponds to the two world representations in the maps package.

Methods

obj = "SpatialPolygons"

recenter a SpatialPolygons object

obj = "Polygons"

recenter a Polygons object

obj = "Polygon"

recenter an Polygon object

obj = "SpatialLines"

recenter a SpatialLines object

obj = "Lines"

recenter a Lines object

obj = "Line"

recenter an Line object

Examples

crds <- matrix(c(179, -179, -179, 179, 50, 50, 52, 52), ncol=2)

A package providing classes and methods for spatial data: points, lines, polygons and grids

Description

This package provides S4 classes for importing, manipulating and exporting spatial data in R, and for methods including print/show, plot, subset, [, [[, \$, names, dim, summary, and a number of methods specific to spatial data handling.

Introduction

Several spatial statistical packages have been around for a long while, but no organized set of classes for spatial data has yet been devised. Many of the spatial packages make their own assumptions, or use their own class definitions for spatial data, making it inconvenient to move from one package to another. This package tries to provide a solid set of classes for many different types of spatial data. The idea is that spatial statistical packages will either support these classes (i.e., directly read and write them) or will provide conversion to them, so that we have a base class set with which any package can exchange. This way, many-to-many conversions can be replace with one-to-many conversions, provided either in this package or the spatial packages. Wherever possible conversion (coercion) functions are automatic, or provided by sp.

External packages that depend on sp will provide importing and exporting from and to external GIS formats, e.g. through GDAL, OGR or shapelib.

In addition, this package tries to provide convenient methods to print, summarize and plot such spatial data.

Dimensions

In principal, geographical data are two-dimensional, on a flat surface (a map) or on a sphere (the earth). This package provides space for dealing with higher dimensional data where possible; this is e.g. very simple for points and grids, but hard to do for polygons. Plotting functions are devised primarily for two-dimensional data, or two-dimensional projections of higher dimensional data.

Coordinate reference systems

Central to spatial data is that they have a coordinate reference system, which is coded in object of CRS class. Central to operations on different spatial data sets is that their coordinate reference system is compatible (i.e., identical).

This CRS can be a character string describing a reference system in a way understood by the PROJ.4 projection library, or a (character) missing value. An interface to the PROJ.4 library is available only if the R package rgdal is present.

Class structure

All spatial classes derive from a basic class Spatial, which only provides a bounding box and a CRS. This class has no useful instances, but useful derived classes.

SpatialPoints extends Spatial and has coordinates. The method coordinates extracts the numeric matrix with coordinates from an object of class SpatialPoints, or from other (possibly derived) classes that have points.

Objects of class SpatialGrid points on a regular grid. Either a full grid is stored or a partial grid (i.e., only the non-missing valued cells); calling coordinates on them will give the coordinates for the grid cells.

SpatialPoints, SpatialPixels and SpatialGrid can be of arbitrary dimension, although most of the effort is in making them work for two dimensional data.

SpatialLines provides lines, and SpatialPolygons provides polygons, i.e., lines that end where they start and do not intersect with itself. SpatialLines and SpatialPolygons only have two-dimensional data.

SpatialPointsDataFrame extends SpatialPoints with a data slot, having a data.frame with attribute data. Similarly, SpatialPixelsDataFrame, SpatialLinesDataFrame, SpatialPolygonsDataFrame extend the primary spatial information with attribute data.

Deprecated functions in sp

Description

Deprecated functions is sp: getSpP*, getPolygon*, getLines* getSL*

Usage

set_evolution_status(value)
get_evolution_status()

Arguments

value

evolution status: only 2L to use sf functions in place of rgdal

Note

For overlay the new implementation is found in the over method; this works slightly different and more consistent.


write map data for Mondrian

Description

The function outputs a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object to be used by Mondrian

Usage

sp2Mondrian(SP, file, new_format=TRUE)

Arguments

SP

a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object

file

file where output is written

new_format

default TRUE, creates a text data file and a separate map file; the old format put both data sets in a single file - the map file is named by inserting "MAP_" into the file= argument after the rightmost directory separator (if any)

Note

At this release, the function writes out a text file with both data and polygon(s) identified as belonging to each row of data.

Class "Spatial"

Description

An abstract class from which useful spatial classes are derived

Usage

Spatial(bbox, proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)))
## S3 method for class 'Spatial'
subset(x, subset, select, drop = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

bbox

a bounding box matrix

proj4string

a CRS object

x

object of class Spatial

subset

see subset.data.frame

select

see subset.data.frame

drop

see subset.data.frame

...

passed through

Objects from the Class

are never to be generated; only derived classes can be meaningful

Slots

bbox:

Object of class "matrix"; 2-column matrix holding the minimum in first and maximum in second column for the x-coordinate (first row), y-coordinate (second row) and optionally, for points and grids only, further coordinates. The constructed Spatial object will be invalid if any bbox values are NA or infinite. The column names must be c("min", "max")

proj4string:

Object of class "CRS". The name of this slot was chosen to reflect the use of Proj.4 strings to represent coordinate reference systems (CRS). The slot name will continue to be used, but as PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3 are taken into use for reading files and for projection and transformation, the Proj.4 string CRS representation is being supplemented by a WKT2 (2019) representation. The reason for the modification is that important keys in the Proj.4 string representation are being deprecated in PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3. Legacy "CRS" objects hold only a valid Proj.4 string, which can be used for unprojecting or reprojecting coordinates; it is initialised to NA. If the "CRS" object is instantiated using CRS() with rgdal using PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3, the object may also have a WKT2 (2019) string carried as a comment. Non-NA strings may be checked for validity in the rgdal package, but attempts to assign a string containing "longlat" to data extending beyond longitude [-180, 360] or lattitude [-90, 90] will be stopped or warned, use set_ll_warn to warn rather than stop, and set_ll_TOL to change the default tolerance for the range exceedance tests.

Methods

bbox

signature(obj = "Spatial"): retrieves the bbox element

dimensions

signature(obj = "Spatial"): retrieves the number of spatial dimensions spanned

gridded

signature(obj = "Spatial"): logical, tells whether the data is on a regular spatial grid

plot

signature(x = "Spatial", y = "missing"): plot method for spatial objects; does nothing but setting up a plotting region choosing a suitable aspect if not given(see below), colouring the plot background using either a bg= argument or par("bg"), and possibly drawing axes.

summary

signature(object = "Spatial"): summarize object

$

retrieves attribute column

$<-

sets or replaces attribute column, or promote a geometry-only object to an object having an attribute

rebuild_CRS

rebuild a CRS object, usually used to add a WKT comment with PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3

plot method arguments

The plot method for “Spatial” objects takes the following arguments:

x

object of class Spatial

xlim

default NULL; the x limits (x1, x2) of the plot

ylim

default NULL; the y limits of the plot

asp

default NA; the y/x aspect ratio

axes

default FALSE; a logical value indicating whether both axes should be drawn

bg

default par("bg"); colour to be used for the background of the device region

xaxs

The style of axis interval calculation to be used for the x-axis

yaxs

The style of axis interval calculation to be used for the y-axis

lab

A numerical vector of the form c(x, y, len) which modifies the default way that axes are annotated

setParUsrBB

default FALSE; set the par “usr” bounding box; see below

bgMap

object of class ggmap, or returned by function RgoogleMaps::GetMap

expandBB

numeric; factor to expand the plotting region default: bbox(x) with on each side (1=below, 2=left, 3=above and 4=right); defaults to c(0,0,0,0); setting xlim or ylim overrides this.

...

passed through

Warning

this class is not useful in itself, but all spatial classes in this package derive from it

Note

The default aspect for map plots is 1; if however data are not projected (coordinates are longlat), the aspect is by default set to 1/cos(My * pi)/180) with My the y coordinate of the middle of the map (the mean of ylim, which defaults to the y range of bounding box).

The argument setParUsrBB may be used to pass the logical value TRUE to functions within plot.Spatial. When set to TRUE, par(“usr”) will be overwritten with c(xlim, ylim), which defaults to the bounding box of the spatial object. This is only needed in the particular context of graphic output to a specified device with given width and height, to be matched to the spatial object, when using par(“xaxs”) and par(“yaxs”) in addition to par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)).

Plotting gridded data with sp: https://r-spatial.org/r/2016/03/08/plotting-spatial-grids.html

Examples

data(meuse.grid) # only the non-missing valued cells
coordinates(meuse.grid) = c("x", "y") # promote to SpatialPointsDataFrame
gridded(meuse.grid) <- TRUE # promote to SpatialPixelsDataFrame
x = as(meuse.grid, "SpatialGridDataFrame") # creates the full grid
x[["idist"]] = 1 - x[["dist"]] # assigns new attribute
image(x["idist"]) # note the single [ for attribute selection

# toy example:
df = data.frame(z = c(1:6,NA,8,9),
    xc = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3),
    yc = c(rep(c(0, 1.5, 3),3)))
coordinates(df) = ~xc+yc
gridded(df) = TRUE
df = as(df, "SpatialGridDataFrame") # to full grid
image(df["z"])
# draw labels to verify:
cc = coordinates(df)
z=df[["z"]]
zc=as.character(z)
zc[is.na(zc)]="NA"
text(cc[,1],cc[,2],zc)

# the following is weird, but illustrates the concept of row/col selection:
fullgrid(meuse.grid) = TRUE
image(meuse.grid)
image(meuse.grid[20:70, 10:70, "dist"], add = TRUE, col = bpy.colors())

# as.matrix, as.array

create objects of class SpatialMultiPoints or SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame

Description

create objects of class SpatialMultiPoints-class or SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame-class from coordinates, and from coordinates and data.frames

Usage

SpatialMultiPoints(coords, proj4string=CRS(as.character(NA)), bbox = NULL)
SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame(coords, data,
      proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)), match.ID, bbox = NULL)

Arguments

coords

list with in each element a numeric matrix or data.frame with coordinates (each row representing a point); in case of SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame an object of class SpatialMultiPoints-class is also allowed

proj4string

projection string of class CRS-class

bbox

bounding box matrix, usually NULL and constructed from the data, but may be passed through for coercion purposes if clearly needed

data

object of class data.frame; the number of rows in data should equal the number of points in the coords object

match.ID

logical or character; if missing, and coords and data both have row names, and their order does not correspond, matching is done by these row names and a warning is issued; this warning can be suppressed by setting match.ID to TRUE. If TRUE AND coords has non-automatic rownames (i.e., coerced to a matrix by as.matrix, dimnames(coords)[[1]] is not NULL), AND data has row.names (i.e. is a data.frame), then the SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame object is formed by matching the row names of both components, leaving the order of the coordinates in tact. Checks are done to see whether both row names are sufficiently unique, and all data are matched. If FALSE, coordinates and data are simply "glued" together, ignoring row names. If character: indicates the column in data with coordinates IDs to use for matching records. See examples below.

Value

SpatialMultiPoints returns an object of class SpatialMultiPoints; SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame returns an object of class SpatialMultiPointsDataFrame;

define spatial grid

Description

defines spatial grid by offset, cell size and dimensions

Usage

GridTopology(cellcentre.offset, cellsize, cells.dim)
SpatialPixels(points, tolerance = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps),
		proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)), round = NULL, grid = NULL)
SpatialGrid(grid, proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)))
coordinatevalues(obj)
points2grid(points, tolerance = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps), round=NULL)
getGridIndex(cc, grid, all.inside = TRUE)
getGridTopology(obj)
areaSpatialGrid(obj)

Arguments

cellcentre.offset

numeric; vector with the smallest centroid coordinates for each dimension; coordinates refer to the cell centre

cellsize

numeric; vector with the cell size in each dimension

cells.dim

integer; vector with number of cells in each dimension

points

coordinates, object of class SpatialPoints-class

grid

grid topology; object of class GridTopology-class; for calls to SpatialPixels, a value of NULL implies that this will be derived from the point coordinates

tolerance

precision, used to which extent points are exactly on a grid

round

default NULL, otherwise a value passed to as the digits argument to round for setting cell size

proj4string

object of class CRS-class

obj

object of class or deriving from SpatialGrid-class

cc

numeric matrix with coordinates

all.inside

logical; if TRUE and cc points fall outside the grid area, an error message is generated; if FALSE, NA values are generated for such points

Value

GridTopology returns a value of class GridTopology-class; SpatialGrid returns an object of class SpatialGrid-class

coordinatevalues returns a list with the unique x-coordinates, the unique y-coordinate, etc. instead of the coordinates of all grid cells

SpatialGrid returns an object of class SpatialGrid-class.

points2grid returns the GridTopology-class from a set of points.

getGridIndex finds the index of a set of point coordinates in a given grid topology, and depending on all.inside setting, generates NA or an error message if points are outside the grid domain.

getGridTopology returns the slot of class GridTopology-class from obj.

areaSpatialGrid returns the spatial area of (the non-missing valued cells of) the grid. For objects of class SpatialGridDataFrame-class the area refers to cells where any (one or more) of the attribute columns are non-missing valued.

Note

SpatialGrid stores grid topology and may or may not store the coordinates of the actual points, which may form a subset of the full grid. To find out or change this, see fullgrid.

points2grid tries to figure out the grid topology from points. It succeeds only if points on a grid line have constant y column, and points on a grid column have constant x coordinate, etc. In other cases, use signif on the raw coordinate matrices to make sure this is the case.

Class "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"

Description

Class for spatial attributes that have spatial locations on a regular grid.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form as(x, "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"), where x is of class SpatialPointsDataFrame-class, or by importing through rgdal. Ordered full grids are stored instead or unordered non-NA cells;

Slots

bbox:

Object of class "matrix"; bounding box

proj4string:

Object of class "CRS"; projection

coords:

see SpatialPoints; points slot

coords.nrs

see SpatialPointsDataFrame

grid:

see GridTopology-class; grid parameters

grid.index:

integer; index of points in the list to points in the full (ordered) grid. x cycles fastest; all coordinates increase from low to hight except y, which decreases from high to low

data:

Object of class data.frame, containing the attribute data

Extends

Class "SpatialPixels", directly. Class "Spatial", by class "SpatialPixels".

Methods

coordinates

signature(x = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"): retrieves coordinates

[

signature(x = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"): selects row(s) and/or attribute(s), and returns an object of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame; rows refer here to the pixel numbers, not grid lines. For selecting a square block in a grid, coerce to a SpatialGridDataFrame-class first, and use [ on that object

as.matrix

signature(x = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"): coerce to matrix

rbind

signature(x = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"): rbind-like method

plot

signature(x = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame", y = "missing"): see SpatialGridDataFrame-class for details

create objects of class SpatialPoints or SpatialPointsDataFrame

Description

create objects of class SpatialPoints-class or SpatialPointsDataFrame-class from coordinates, and from coordinates and data.frames

Usage

SpatialPoints(coords, proj4string=CRS(as.character(NA)), bbox = NULL)
SpatialPointsDataFrame(coords, data, coords.nrs = numeric(0), 
      proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)), match.ID, bbox = NULL)

Arguments

coords

numeric matrix or data.frame with coordinates (each row is a point); in case of SpatialPointsDataFrame an object of class SpatialPoints-class is also allowed

proj4string

projection string of class CRS-class

bbox

bounding box matrix, usually NULL and constructed from the data, but may be passed through for coercion purposes if clearly needed

data

object of class data.frame; the number of rows in data should equal the number of points in the coords object

coords.nrs

numeric; if present, records the column positions where in data the coordinates were taken from (used by coordinates<-)

match.ID

logical or character; if missing, and coords and data both have row names, and their order does not correspond, matching is done by these row names and a warning is issued; this warning can be suppressed by setting match.ID to TRUE. If TRUE AND coords has non-automatic rownames (i.e., coerced to a matrix by as.matrix, dimnames(coords)[[1]] is not NULL), AND data has row.names (i.e. is a data.frame), then the SpatialPointsDataFrame object is formed by matching the row names of both components, leaving the order of the coordinates in tact. Checks are done to see whether both row names are sufficiently unique, and all data are matched. If FALSE, coordinates and data are simply "glued" together, ignoring row names. If character: indicates the column in data with coordinates IDs to use for matching records. See examples below.

Value

SpatialPoints returns an object of class SpatialPoints; SpatialPointsDataFrame returns an object of class SpatialPointsDataFrame;

create objects of class SpatialPolygons or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame

Description

create objects of class SpatialPolygons or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame from lists of Polygons objects and data.frames

Usage

Polygon(coords, hole=as.logical(NA))
Polygons(srl, ID)
SpatialPolygons(Srl, pO, proj4string=CRS(as.character(NA)))
SpatialPolygonsDataFrame(Sr, data, match.ID = TRUE)
getSpatialPolygonsLabelPoints(SP)

Arguments

coords

2-column numeric matrix with coordinates; first point (row) should equal last coordinates (row); if the hole argument is not given, the status of the polygon as a hole or an island will be taken from the ring direction, with clockwise meaning island, and counter-clockwise meaning hole

hole

logical value for setting polygon as hole or not; if the hole argument is not given, the status of the polygon as a hole or an island will be taken from the ring direction, with clockwise meaning island, and counter-clockwise meaning hole

proj4string

projection string of class CRS-class

srl

list with Polygon-class objects

ID

character vector of length one with identifier

Srl

list with objects of class Polygons-class

pO

integer vector; plotting order; if missing in reverse order of Polygons area

Sr

object of class SpatialPolygons-class

data

object of class data.frame; the number of rows in data should equal the number of Polygons-class objects in Sr

match.ID

logical: (default TRUE): match SpatialPolygons member Polygons ID slot values with data frame row names, and re-order the data frame rows if necessary. If character: indicates the column in data with Polygons IDs to match

SP

object of class SpatialPolygons-class

Details

In Polygon, if the hole argument is not given, the status of the polygon as a hole or an island will be taken from the ring direction, with clockwise meaning island, and counter-clockwise meaning hole. In Polygons, if all of the member Polygon objects are holes, the largest by area will be converted to island status. Until 2010-04-17, version 0.9-61, the area of this converted object was erroneously left at its hole value of zero. Thanks to Patrick Giraudoux for spotting the bug.

The class definitions used for polygons in sp do not accord with those of the simple features specification of the Open Geospatial Consortium. The rgeos package, an interface to Geometry Engine – Open Source (GEOS), uses this specification, in which each hole (interior ring) must be associated with its containing exterior ring. In order to avoid introducing incompatible changes into the class definition of Polygons objects, a comment has been added as a single character string to each such object. Here we can trust the data source to assign the hole status correctly, and use round-trip coercion to sf to add such comments to each Polygons member of the polygons slot of this SpatialPolygons object. Exterior rings are coded zero, while interior rings are coded with the 1-based index of the exterior ring to which they belong. SpatialPolygons objects created by reading using sf have the comments set on input, as OGR also uses SFS.

Refer to Bivand et al. (2013), pages 47-48 and 132-133 for a further discussion.

Value

Polygon returns an object of class Polygon; Polygons returns an object of class Polygons; SpatialPolygons returns object of class SpatialPolygons; SpatialPolygonsDataFrame returns object of class SpatialPolygonsDataFrame getSpatialPolygonsLabelPoints returns an object of class SpatialPoints with label points.

Note

rbind calls the function SpatialPolygons, where it is checked that all IDs are unique. If rbind-ing SpatialPolygons without unique IDs, it is possible to set the argument makeUniqueIDs = TRUE, although it is preferred to change these explicitly with spChFIDs.

change feature IDs in spatial objects

Description

When the feature IDs need to be changed in SpatialLines* or SpatialPolygons* objects, these methods may be used. The new IDs should be a character vector of unique IDs of the correct length.

Methods

obj = "SpatialLines", x = "character"

replace IDs in a SpatialLines object

obj = "SpatialLinesDataFrame", x = "character"

replace IDs in a SpatialLinesDataFrame object

obj = "SpatialPolygons", x = "character"

replace IDs in a SpatialPolygons object

obj = "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame", x = "character"

replace IDs in a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object

Note

It is usually sensible to keep a copy of the original feature IDs in the object, but this should be done by the user.

Euclidean or Great Circle distance between points

Description

The function returns a vector of distances between a matrix of 2D points, first column longitude, second column latitude, and a single 2D point, using Euclidean or Great Circle distance (WGS84 ellipsoid) methods.

Usage

spDistsN1(pts, pt, longlat = FALSE)
spDists(x, y = x, longlat = FALSE, segments = FALSE, diagonal = FALSE)

Arguments

pts

A matrix of 2D points, first column x/longitude, second column y/latitude, or a SpatialPoints or SpatialPointsDataFrame object

pt

A single 2D point, first value x/longitude, second value y/latitude, or a SpatialPoints or SpatialPointsDataFrame object with one point only

x

A matrix of n-D points with row denoting points, first column x/longitude, second column y/latitude, or a Spatial object that has a coordinates method

y

A matrix of n-D points with row denoting points, first column x/longitude, second column y/latitude, or a Spatial object that has a coordinates method

longlat

logical; if FALSE, Euclidean distance, if TRUE Great Circle (WGS84 ellipsoid) distance; if x is a Spatial object, longlat should not be specified but will be derived from is.projected(x)

segments

logical; if TRUE, y must be missing; the vector of distances between consecutive points in x is returned.

diagonal

logical; if TRUE, y must be given and have the same number of points as x; the vector with distances between points with identical index is returned.

Value

spDistsN1 returns a numeric vector of distances in the metric of the points if longlat=FALSE, or in kilometers if longlat=TRUE.

spDists returns a full matrix of distances in the metric of the points if longlat=FALSE, or in kilometers if longlat=TRUE; it uses spDistsN1 in case points are two-dimensional. In case of spDists(x,x), it will compute all n x n distances, not the sufficient n x (n-1).

Note

The function can also be used to find a local kilometer equivalent to a plot scaled in decimal degrees in order to draw a scale bar.

spplot.grid(obj, zcol = names(obj), ..., names.attr, scales = list(draw = FALSE),
 xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, aspect = mapasp(obj,xlim,ylim),
 panel = panel.gridplot, sp.layout = NULL, formula, xlim = bbox(obj)[1, ],
 ylim = bbox(obj)[2, ], checkEmptyRC = TRUE, col.regions = get_col_regions())

 xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, aspect = mapasp(obj,xlim,ylim),
 panel = panel.pointsplot, sp.layout = NULL, identify = FALSE, formula,
 xlim = bbexpand(bbox(obj)[1, ], 0.04), ylim = bbexpand(bbox(obj)[2, ], 0.04),
 edge.col = "transparent", colorkey = FALSE, col.regions = get_col_regions())
mapLegendGrob(obj, widths = unit(1, "cm"), heights = unit(1, "cm"),
	fill = "black", just = "right")
sp.theme(set = FALSE, regions = list(col = bpy.colors(100)), ...)
layout.north.arrow(type = 1)
layout.scale.bar(height = 0.05)
spplot.locator(n = 512, type = "n", ...)
set_col_regions(value)
get_col_regions()

Arguments

obj

object of class extending Spatial-class

zcol

character; attribute name(s) or column number(s) in attribute table

names.attr

names to use in panel, if different from zcol names

scales

scales argument to be passed to Lattice plots; use list(draw = TRUE) to draw axes scales; see xyplot for full options

...

other arguments passed to levelplot (grids, polygons) or xyplot (points)

xlab

label for x-axis

ylab

label for y-axis

aspect

aspect ratio for spatial axes; defaults to "iso" (one unit on the x-axis equals one unit on the y-axis) but may be set to more suitable values if the data are e.g. if coordinates are latitude/longitude

panel

depending on the class of obj, panel.polygonsplot (for polygons or lines), panel.gridplot (grids) or panel.pointsplot (points) is used; for further control custom panel functions can be supplied that call one of these panel functions, but do read below how the argument sp.layout may help

sp.layout

NULL or list; see notes below

identify

if not FALSE, identify plotted objects (currently only working for points plots). Labels for identification are the row.names of the attribute table row.names(as.data.frame(obj)). If TRUE, identify on panel (1,1); for identifying on panel i,j, pass the value c(i,j)

formula

optional; may be useful to plot a transformed value. Defaults to z~x+y for single and z~x+y|name for multiple attributes; use e.g. exp(x)~x+y|name to plot the exponent of the z-variable

xlim

numeric; x-axis limits

ylim

numeric; y-axis limits

edge.col

color of symbol edge

colorkey

if FALSE, use symbol key; if TRUE, use continuous, levelplot-like colorkey; if list, follow syntax of argument colorkey in levelplot (see below for an example)

widths

width of grob

heights

heights of grob

fill

fill color of grob

just

grob placement justification

set

logical; if TRUE, trellis.par.set is called, else a list is returned that can be passed to trellis.par.set()

regions

color ramp for the theme

height

height of scale bar; width is 1.0

n

see locator

type

see locator

checkEmptyRC

logical; if TRUE, a check is done to see if empty rows or columns are present, and need to be taken care of. Setting to FALSE may improve speed.

col.regions

vector with fill colours; in case the variable to be plotted is a factor, this vector should have length equal to the number of factor levels

value

vector with color values, default for col.regions

Value

spplot returns a lattice plot of class "trellis", if you fail to "see" it, explicitly call print(spplot(...)). If identify is TRUE, the plot is plotted and the return value is a vector with row names of the selected points.

spplot.locator returns a matrix with identified point locations; use trellis.focus first to focus on a given panel.

get_col_regions returns the default value for col.regions

Methods

obj = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"

see spplot

obj = "SpatialGridDataFrame"

see spplot

obj = "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame"

see spplot

obj = "SpatialLinesDataFrame"

see spplot

obj = "SpatialPointsDataFrame"

see spplot

Note

Missing values in the attributes are (currently) not allowed.

spplot.grid, spplot.polygons and spplot.points are S4 methods for spplot; see spplot-methods.

Useful arguments that can be passed as ... are:

layout

integer; for the layout of panels (cols,rows)

pretty

logical; choose colour breaks at pretty numbers?

at

specify at which values colours change

as.table

logical; start drawing panels upper-left instead of lower-left

page

to add marks to each plotted page

for useful values see the appropriate documentation of xyplot (in case of points), and levelplot (otherwise).

If obj is of SpatialPointsDataFrame, the following options are useful to pass:

key.space

character: "bottom", "right", "left" or "right" to denote key location, or list: see argument key in the help for xyplot what the options are

legendEntries

character; array with key legend (text) entries; suitable defaults obtained from data

cuts

number of cuts, or, for objects of class SpatialPointsDataFrame only, the actual cuts to use

do.log

logical; if TRUE use log-linear scale to divide range in equal cuts, else use a linear scale if cuts is only number of cuts

pch

integer; plotting character to use; defaults to 16 if fill is TRUE, else 1

cex

numeric; character expansion, proportional to default value of 1

fill

logical; use filled circles?

layout.north.arrow and layout.scale.bar can be used to set a north arrow or scale bar.

The sp.layout argument is either a single layout item, or a list with one or more layout items. A layout item is one of

  • a list with one or more Spatial* objects, along with style arguments like col, lty, pch, fill etc.

  • a list with its first argument the layout function or the name of the layout function to be called: sp.points for SpatialPoints, sp.polygons for SpatialPolygons object, sp.lines for a SpatialLines object, and sp.text for text to place. The second argument contains the object (or text) to be plotted; remaining arguments are passed to the corresponding panel.* functions.

The order of items in sp.layout matters; objects are drawn in the order they appear. With respect to obj, default plot order and precedence of sp.layout items is as follows: for points and lines, sp.layout items are drawn over (after) obj; for grids and polygons, sp.layout items are drawn behind (before) obj. Transparency may further help making multiple things visible. Adding a first argument to a layout item overrides its default plotting order with respect to obj:

Special control elements of sp.layout items:

first

logical; should the layout item be drawn before the obj (TRUE), or after (FALSE)? This overrides the default order (points and lines in front, polygons and grids behind).

which

integer; controls to which panel a layout item should be added. If which is present in the main, top-level list it applies to all layout items; in sub-lists with layout items it denotes the (set of) panel(s) in which the layout item should be drawn. Without a which item, layout items are drawn in each panel.

sp.theme returns a lattice theme; use, after loading package lattice, the command trellis.par.set(sp.theme()) after a device is opened or changed to make this work. Currently, this only sets the colors to bpy.colors.

If the attributes to be plotted are of type factor, spplot tries to create a legend that reflects this. In this case, the color ramp passed needs to be of the same length as the number of factor levels. The factor levels are derived from the first map; subsequent factors with different factor levels result in an error.

sample point locations in (or on) a spatial object

Description

sample point locations within a square area, a grid, a polygon, or on a spatial line, using regular or random sampling methods; the methods used assume that the geometry used is not spherical, so objects should be in planar coordinates

Usage

spsample(x, n, type, ...)
makegrid(x, n = 10000, nsig = 2, cellsize, offset = rep(0.5, nrow(bb)),
	pretty = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Spatial object; spsample(x,...) is a generic method for the existing sample.Xxx functions

...

optional arguments, passed to the appropriate sample.Xxx functions; see NOTES for nclusters and iter

n

(approximate) sample size

type

character; "random" for completely spatial random; "regular" for regular (systematically aligned) sampling; "stratified" for stratified random (one single random location in each "cell"); "nonaligned" for nonaligned systematic sampling (nx random y coordinates, ny random x coordinates); "hexagonal" for sampling on a hexagonal lattice; "clustered" for clustered sampling; "Fibonacci" for Fibonacci sampling on the sphere (see references).

bb

bounding box of the sampled domain; setting this to a smaller value leads to sub-region sampling

offset

for square cell-based sampling types (regular, stratified, nonaligned, hexagonal): the offset (position) of the regular grid; the default for spsample methods is a random location in the unit cell [0,1] x [0,1], leading to a different grid after each call; if this is set to c(0.5,0.5), the returned grid is not random (but, in Ripley's wording, "centric systematic"). For line objects, a single offset value is taken, where the value varies within the [0, 1] interval, and 0 is the beginning of each Line object, and 1 its end

cellsize

if missing, a cell size is derived from the sample size n; otherwise, this cell size is used for all sampling methods except "random"

nsig

for "pretty" cell size; spsample does not result in pretty grids

pretty

logical; if TRUE, choose pretty (rounded) coordinates

Value

an object of class SpatialPoints-class. The number of points is only guaranteed to equal n when sampling is done in a square box, i.e. (sample.Spatial). Otherwise, the obtained number of points will have expected value n.

When x is of a class deriving from Spatial-class for which no spsample-methods exists, sampling is done in the bounding box of the object, using spsample.Spatial. An overlay using over may be necessary to select the features inside the geometry afterwards.

Sampling type "nonaligned" is not implemented for line objects.

Some methods may return NULL if no points could be successfully placed.

makegrid makes a regular grid that covers x; when cellsize is not given it derives one from the number of grid points requested (approximating the number of cells). It tries to choose pretty cell size and grid coordinates.

Methods

x = "Spatial"

sample in the bbox of x

x = "Line"

sample on a line

x = "Polygon"

sample in a Polygon

x = "Polygons"

sample in a Polygons object, consisting of possibly multiple Polygon objects (holes must be correctly defined, use checkPolygonsHoles if need be)

x = "SpatialPolygons"

sample in an SpatialPolygons object; sampling takes place over all Polygons objects present, use subsetting to vary sampling intensity (density); holes must be correctly defined, use checkPolygonsHoles if need be

x = "SpatialGrid"

sample in an SpatialGrid object

x = "SpatialPixels"

sample in an SpatialPixels object

Note

If an Polygon-class object has zero area (i.e. is a line), samples on this line element are returned. If the area is very close to zero, the algorithm taken here (generating points in a square area, selecting those inside the polygon) may be very resource intensive. When numbers of points per polygon are small and type="random", the number searched for is inflated to ensure hits, and the points returned sampled among these.

The following two arguments can be further specified:

nclusters Number of clusters (strata) to sample from.

iter(default = 4) number of times to try to place sample points in a polygon before giving up and returning NULL - this may occur when trying to hit a small and awkwardly shaped polygon in a large bounding box with a small number of points

z

column vector with each of the elements in columns zcol of data stacked

name

factor; name of each of the stacked z columns

stack is an S3 method: it return a data.frame with a column values that has the stacked coordinates and attributes, and a column ind that indicates the variable stacked; it also replicates the coordinates.

spplot, levelplot, and stack

Examples

library(lattice)
data(meuse.grid) # data frame
coordinates(meuse.grid) = c("x", "y") # promotes to SpatialPointsDataFrame
meuse.grid[["idist"]] = 1 - meuse.grid[["dist"]] # add variable

levelplot(z~x+y|name, spmap.to.lev(meuse.grid, z=c("dist","idist"), names.attr =
	c("distance", "inverse of distance")), aspect = "iso")
levelplot(values~x+y|ind, as.data.frame(stack(meuse.grid)), asp = "iso")

Compute surface area of a digital elevation model.

Description

It is often said that if Wales was flattened out it would have an area bigger than England. This function computes the surface area of a grid of heights taking into account the sloping nature of the surface.

Usage

surfaceArea(m, ...)
surfaceArea.matrix(m, cellx = 1, celly = 1, byCell = FALSE)

Arguments

m

a matrix of height values, or an object of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame or SpatialGridDataFrame.

cellx

the size of the grid cells in the x-direction, in the same units as the height values.

celly

the size of the grid cells in the y-direction, in the same units as the height values.

byCell

return single value or matrix of values

...

ignored

Value

Either a single value of the total area if byCell=FALSE, or a matrix the same shape as m of individual cell surface areas if byCell=TRUE. In this case, the sum of the returned matrix should be the same value as that which is returned if byCell=FALSE.

Missing values (NA) in the input matrix are allowed. They will produce an NA in the output matrix for byCell=TRUE, and contribute zero to the total area. They also have an effect on adjacent cells - see code comments for details.

Methods

obj = "matrix"

takes a matrix as input, requires cellx and celly to be set

obj = "SpatialGridDataFrame"

takes an object of class SpatialGridDataFrame as input, and retrieves cellx and celly from this

obj = "SpatialPixelsDataFrame"

takes an object of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame as input, and retrieves cellx and celly from this

find point pairs with equal spatial coordinates

Description

find point pairs with equal spatial coordinates

Usage

zerodist(obj, zero = 0.0, unique.ID = FALSE, memcmp = TRUE) 
zerodist2(obj1, obj2, zero = 0.0, memcmp = TRUE) 
remove.duplicates(obj, zero = 0.0, remove.second = TRUE, memcmp = TRUE)

Arguments

obj

object of, or extending, class SpatialPoints

obj1

object of, or extending, class SpatialPoints

obj2

object of, or extending, class SpatialPoints

zero

distance values less than or equal to this threshold value are considered to have zero distance (default 0.0); units are those of the coordinates for projected data or unknown projection, or km if coordinates are defined to be longitude/latitude

unique.ID

logical; if TRUE, return an ID (integer) for each point that is different only when two points do not share the same location

memcmp

use memcmp to find exactly equal coordinates; see NOTE

remove.second

logical; if TRUE, the second of each pair of duplicate points is removed, if FALSE remove the first

Value

zerodist and zerodist2 return a two-column matrix with in each row pairs of row numbers with identical coordinates; a matrix with zero rows is returned if no such pairs are found. For zerodist, row number pairs refer to row pairs in obj. For zerodist2, row number pairs refer to rows in obj and obj2, respectively. remove.duplicates removes duplicate observations if present, and else returns obj.

Note

When using kriging, duplicate observations sharing identical spatial locations result in singular covariance matrices. This function may help identify and remove spatial duplices. The full matrix with all pair-wise distances is not stored; the double loop is done at the C level.

When unique.ID=TRUE is used, an integer index is returned. sp 1.0-14 returned the highest index, sp 1.0-15 and later return the lowest index.

When zero is 0.0 and memcmp is not FALSE, zerodist uses memcmp to evaluate exact equality of coordinates; there may be cases where this results in a different evaluation compared to doing the double arithmetic of computing distances.

Examples

data(meuse)
summary(meuse)
# pick 10 rows
n <- 10
ran10 <- sample(nrow(meuse), size = n, replace = TRUE)
meusedup <- rbind(meuse, meuse[ran10, ])
coordinates(meusedup) <- c("x", "y")
zd <- zerodist(meusedup)
sum(abs(zd[1:n,1] - sort(ran10))) # 0!
# remove the duplicate rows:
meusedup2 <- meusedup[-zd[,2], ]
summary(meusedup2)
meusedup3 <- subset(meusedup, !(1:nrow(meusedup) %in% zd[,2]))
summary(meusedup3)
coordinates(meuse) <- c("x", "y")
zerodist2(meuse, meuse[c(10:33,1,10),])
