[R-sig-Geo] Import from Geodatabase

[afischbach]

For shape files the package maptools has worked for me.

require(rgdal) 
require(maptools)

prj <- CRS("+proj=aeqd +lat_0=70 +lon_0=-170")  #Azimuthal Equadistant -170,
70
fileName <- 'YourShapeFile.shp'
shape=readShapeLines(fileName, proj4string=prj, verbose=FALSE, repair=FALSE,
delete_null_obj=FALSE)

For ASCII rasters the package sp works well.

require (sp)
map <- readGDAL( 'Your_ASCII_raster.asc')

Being able to pull in ArcGIS personal geodatabase features would be nice to
do.
