[R-sig-Geo] Memory limits in R with shapefiles

[Thiago V. dos Santos]

What kind of operation do you need to perform in the shapefiles?

Depending on it, one solution could be calling gdal commands from within R, by using system(). For example:

system('gdalwarp argument1 argument2 argument3 argument4')

Subject: [R-sig-Geo] Memory limits in R with shapefiles

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with reading a shape of 300 MB in R. My RAM limits are 8
GB. So, i can´t work with this shape, because it needs more than 8GB. Have
anybody an idea how to handle this kind of cases?

Best regards,

Dominic
