meuse.riv: River Meuse outline

Description

The meuse.riv data consists of an outline of the Meuse river in the area a few kilometers around the meuse data set.

The meuse.area polygon has an outline of meuse.grid. See example below how it can be created from meuse.grid.

Usage

data(meuse.riv)
data(meuse.area)

Arguments

Format

meuse.riv: two-column data.frame containing 176 coordinates.

meuse.area: two-column matrix with coordinates of outline.

Details

x and y are in RDM, the Dutch topographical map coordinate system. See examples of spTransform for projection parameters.

Examples

Run this code
data(meuse.riv)
plot(meuse.riv, type = "l", asp = 1)
data(meuse.grid)
coordinates(meuse.grid) = c("x", "y")
gridded(meuse.grid) = TRUE
image(meuse.grid, "dist", add = TRUE)
data(meuse)
coordinates(meuse) = c("x", "y")
meuse.sr = SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Polygon(meuse.riv)),"meuse.riv")))
spplot(meuse.grid, col.regions=bpy.colors(), main = "meuse.grid",
  sp.layout=list(
	list("sp.polygons", meuse.sr),
	list("sp.points", meuse, pch="+", col="black")
  )
)
spplot(meuse, "zinc", col.regions=bpy.colors(),  main = "zinc, ppm",
  cuts = c(100,200,400,700,1200,2000), key.space = "right",
  sp.layout= list("sp.polygons", meuse.sr, fill = "lightblue")
)
