[R-sig-Geo] Re.: Integrating R and Arcgis

Hi Lalita,

even though I don't promote ArcGIS at all, I would suggest you having a look at this document [1] about Interfacing R and ArcGIS with Python, as well as the resources it points out.

As you can see, the interface allows you to expose an R script as an ArcGIS Geoprocessing Tool, which you could run inside ArcMap. As Martin commented, it is based on ArcGIS v.10.1.

Regards,

Germán Carrillo

Hi Lalita

The short answer to your question is: Only through Python scripting.

Python is rapidly growing in the Esri world/community. The (soon) to be 
released ver. 10.1 have even more Python possibilities.

To see an example on how to write and execute an R call, from inside 
ArcGIS (ver. 10.0) , please look at this page from on-line help.

Best Regards & Please share what you learn
