[R-sig-Geo] merge Shape file

[Joseph Bechara]

Dear Bary, 

 

Actually I have to do a geometrical merge operation.

I'm looking for the equivalent of "merge" in ArcGIS.

Any clue?

 

 

 

What do you mean by merge? If the two shapefiles have the same set of
attributes then just read them into SpatialPolygonsDataFrames and do s12 =
rbind(s1,s2), and you end up with a SPDF which has all the features from s1
and s2.

Or do you want to do some geometrical merge operation?
