Dear Janka,

Then if you have two vector based layers, use the over() function

Run    vignette("over")       for detailed explanations


Best

Remi

PS : for info, the http://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/ that hosts the datasets from getData() is often down these days. expect issues...

Dear Remi,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Unfortunately, the first solution does not do it for me. I have two shapefiles. One of them contains raster-style data but they are saved as a shapefile. So I want to overlap two shapefiles. The extract function only works with a real raster and a shapefile if I understand it correctly. I tried it, and it didn't work.

For the second solution: I have never heard of this and I will have a thorough look at it.

Dear Janka



1/ I would suggest to make things simpler, i.e use the original raster data directly with the shapefile  you want to get your values from and use the extract() function. See post here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22333473/how-do-i-extract-raster-values-from-polygon-data-then-join-into-spatial-data-fra


2/ it seems like you do have a geometry issue at the mentioned point in your NUTS3 shapefile. Maybe you should correct it in your favorite GIS environment, or get a better dataset with more detailed boundaries (e.g www.gadm.org<http://www.gadm.org>). You can also access the GADM data directly in R with the getData() function. See here for example http://www.gis-blog.com/r-raster-data-acquisition/.


Hope it helps

Rémi

Subject: [R-sig-Geo] Self-intersection error when using intersect with two shapefiles

Dear colleagues,

I am trying to "translate" worldwide raster data to European nuts3
polygons. That means I try to overlap two shapefiles to find the
average value on nuts3 level (based on the worldwide raster data).

Unfortunately, when I use the intersect function, I get the following error:

 >>>> new_spdf <- intersect(grid,nuts)
Error in RGEOSBinTopoFunc(spgeom1, spgeom2, byid, id, drop_lower_td,
unaryUnion_if_byid_false,  : TopologyException: Input geom 1 is
invalid: Self-intersection at or near point 13.3081265
48.608032999999999 at 13.3081265 48.608032999999999

The full code can be found below. I have used it before with other
shapefiles and it worked. With the new shapefiles that I am using now,
I get the above error. I think it might be a projection problem but I
have not a lot of experience with this.

Your help is appreciated a lot! Thanks in advance!

Janka
