I am trying to read-in a .csv file that has two columns, one for
longitude and one for latitude to then overlay on a raster map that I am
reading in with readGDAL.
I read in the raster as:
test = readGDAL("tmean1.bil")
This seems to work fine.
I then try to read in the csv file as:
coord = readOGR("Lat_Long_105.csv",layer="Lat_Long_105")
, but I get this out
Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer, input_field_name_encoding =
input_field_name_encoding) :
Multiple # dimensions:
It's unclear to me if I am totally missing the boat when I try to read
in the csv file. In particular, dsn is also the layer (i.e. there is
only one file).
Do I need something else for the layer?
Thanks,
James
