Description

join finds the value of a mapped variable at some specified locations.

Usage

join(xy, x)

Value

If only one variable is mapped in x, a vector with length equals to the number of points in xy.

If only several variables are mapped in x, a data.frame

with a number of columns equal to the number of variables in the object of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame, and with each row corresponding to the rows of xy.

Arguments

x

an object of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame

xy

an object of class SpatialPointsDataFrame
