[R-sig-Geo] Background shapefile does not appear

[Suga, Taeko]

Dear Mr. MacQueen,

Thank you very much for your response.
1) I downloaded data (public school name, logitude, and latitude) from the
NCES Common Core Data.
2) I imported & displayed the data using "X Y Coordinate."
3) Coordinate System of Input Coordinates by "Import"nysd,shp" created by
the NYC Department of City Planning.

Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic
False_Easting: 984250.000000
False_Northing: 0.000000
Central_Meridian: -74.000000
Standard_Parallel_1: 40.666667
Standard_Parallel_2: 41.033333
Latitude_Of_Origin: 40.166667
Linear Unit: Foot_US (0.304801)

Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_North_American_1983
Angular Unit: Degree (0.017453292519943295)
Prime Meridian: Greenwich (0.000000000000000000)
Datum: D_North_American_1983
  Spheroid: GRS_1980
    Semimajor Axis: 6378137.000000000000000000
    Semiminor Axis: 6356752.314140356100000000
    Inverse Flattening: 298.257222101000020000

4) I exported "All features"
5) I added the exported data as a layer.
6) I added the nysd (new york school district)

But the shapefile (school district) does not appear.

My point file is:

Data Type: Shapefile Feature Class
Shapefile: C:\Users\Taeko\Desktop\Export_Output_9.shp
Geometry Type: Point

Projected Coordinate System:
NAD_1983_StatePlane_New_York_Long_Island_FIPS_3104_Feet
Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic
False_Easting: 984250.00000000
False_Northing: 0.00000000
Central_Meridian: -74.00000000
Standard_Parallel_1: 40.66666667
Standard_Parallel_2: 41.03333333
Latitude_Of_Origin: 40.16666667
Linear Unit: Foot_US

Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_North_American_1983
Datum: D_North_American_1983
Prime Meridian: Greenwich
Angular Unit: Degree


Thank you very much for your support.

Best,
Taeko
