maptools - Shapefiles in R -
i'm relatively new using shapefiles in r. want create visualizations of country , district level data india i'm using maptools in r. shapefiles, got data gadm.org includes state/district/subdistrict level data india.
however, i'm trying load file in r , it's not happening.this code :
library(maptools) dist <- readshapepoly("ind_adm2.shp") here ind_adm2.shp district level shape file india.
r unable read file, giving me error:
"error in getinfo.shape(filen) : error opening shp file" i'm not sure problem is.i have r 3.0.1, have files in appropriate directory something's not right. i'm new making maps in r it's been bit annoying. ideas on how fix this?
you use package rgdal
library(rgdal) library(sp) shp <- readogr("path/to/shpfiles", "ind_adm2") plot(shp)
