Subject: [R-sig-Geo] using rasterize

Hello again:

I'm trying to rasterize a spatial points data frame and I seem to be missing something, as seen below:



> str(loc3)
Formal class 'SpatialPointsDataFrame' [package "sp"] with 5 slots
  ..@ data       :'data.frame':    477 obs. of  6 variables:
  .. ..$ ID      : num [1:477] 1 2 3 5 6 8 9 10 10 13 ...
  .. ..$ lonmin  : num [1:477] 141 112.9 -85.9 -106.6 -91.2 ...
  .. ..$ lonmax  : num [1:477] 153.6 159.1 -85.4 -93.5 -91 ...
  .. ..$ latmin  : num [1:477] -37.5 -54.8 38 25.8 30.4 ...
  .. ..$ latmax  : num [1:477] -28.16 -9.22 38.38 36.5 30.56 ...
  .. ..$ location: Factor w/ 275 levels "NSW","Australia",..: 1 2 3 5 6 8 9 10 10 13 ...
  ..@ coords.nrs : int [1:2] 3 2
  ..@ coords     : num [1:477, 1:2] -31.3 -25.3 38.3 32 30.5 ...
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  .. .. ..$ : NULL
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "lat" "lon"
  ..@ bbox       : num [1:2, 1:2] -37.8 -159.6 62.3 175.3
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "lat" "lon"
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "min" "max"
  ..@ proj4string:Formal class 'CRS' [package "sp"] with 1 slots
  .. .. ..@ projargs: chr NA
> rasterize(loc3,field=location,fun=count,na.rm=TRUE)
Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘rasterize’ for signature ‘"SpatialPointsDataFrame", "missing"’

Do you have any ideas, please?  Could it be that the proj4string is NA, do you think, please?

Thanks,
Erin
