[R-sig-Geo] Rpy with ArcMap or Spatial Data

[Alexander Brenning]

Hi,

there is an ArcGIS toolbox written by Mark Janikas from ESRI that links 
ArcGIS/ArcMap/ArcCatalog with R through Python. This is more like a 
proof-of-principle, it allows to access a point clustering method from R 
from within ArcGIS. Don't ask me for the details, but at least one of 
the two alternative approaches used is based on RPy.

scriptId=16444

On the other hand, the RPyGeo package for R uses Python (but not RPy!) 
to call ArcGIS tools from within R. Sort of a basic ArcGIS front-end in 
R, but it suffers from the long latency time of ArcGIS.

Cheers
  Alex
