[R-sig-Geo] Converting kml to shape (readOGR)

[Henk Sierdsema]

Hi Paul,

Here is the requested information:

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20) 
i386-pc-mingw32 

locale:
LC_COLLATE=Dutch_Netherlands.1252;LC_CTYPE=Dutch_Netherlands.1252;LC_MONETARY=Dutch_Netherlands.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Dutch_Netherlands.1252

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base     

other attached packages:
[1] rgdal_0.5-33 sp_0.9-29   

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] grid_2.8.0      lattice_0.17-17

Codes that produces the error:
> kml <-readOGR(dsn=".",layer="Gebied2.kml")
Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer) : Cannot open layer

and the traceback:
> traceback()
3: .Call("ogrInfo", as.character(dsn), as.character(layer), PACKAGE = "rgdal")
2: ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer)
1: readOGR(dsn = ".", layer = "Gebied2.kml")

And thnx for the remark on the list.

Henk

Hi Henk,

We need more details to be able to solve your problem. What kind of 
system are your using (sessionInfo() command)? Could you provide use 
with a piece of code that reproduces the error. What was the exact error 
and what piece of code generated the error (use traceback()).

cheers,
Paul

ps You replied to an earlier e-mail on the r-sig-geo list([R-sig-Geo] 
semivariance analysis of categorical variable). This breaks the 
threading and adds your e-mail to the thread of the above mentioned 
e-mail. Sending a new e-mail makes a fresh new thread for your problem.
