[R-sig-Geo] RQGIS - integrating R with QGIS

["Jannes Münchow"]

Dear R-GIS users,
 
I would like to draw your attention to a new package integrating R with QGIS. QGIS is probably the most widely used open-source Desktop GIS. Apart from its native functions QGIS provides access to the geoalgorithms of various third-party providers (among others SAGA and GRASS). In total this gives the user access to more than 1000 geoalgorithms. RQGIS brings this incredible powerful geoprocessing environment to the R console. We would like to publish RQGIS on CRAN within the next six weeks. Until then we would appreciate any user feedback. On github (https://github.com/jannes-m/RQGIS) you'll find a short tour how to use and install the developer version of RQGIS and in this post (https://jannesm.wordpress.com/2016/06/03/integrating-r-with-qgis/) I briefly describe the most notable features of RQGIS. I am looking forward to hearing from first user experiences!
 
Best regards,
 
Jannes
