SpatialPolygonsDataFrame-class: Class "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame"

Description

class to hold polygons with attributes

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls to the function SpatialPolygonsDataFrame

Slots

data:

Object of class "data.frame"; attribute table

polygons:

Object of class "list"; see SpatialPolygons-class

plotOrder:

Object of class "integer"; see SpatialPolygons-class

bbox:

Object of class "matrix"; see Spatial-class

proj4string:

Object of class "CRS"; see CRS-class

Extends

Class "SpatialPolygons", directly. Class "Spatial", by class "SpatialPolygons".

Examples

# simple example, from scratch:
Sr1 = Polygon(cbind(c(2,4,4,1,2),c(2,3,5,4,2)))
Sr2 = Polygon(cbind(c(5,4,2,5),c(2,3,2,2)))
Sr3 = Polygon(cbind(c(4,4,5,10,4),c(5,3,2,5,5)))
Sr4 = Polygon(cbind(c(5,6,6,5,5),c(4,4,3,3,4)), hole = TRUE)

Srs1 = Polygons(list(Sr1), "s1")
Srs2 = Polygons(list(Sr2), "s2")
Srs3 = Polygons(list(Sr3, Sr4), "s3/4")
SpP = SpatialPolygons(list(Srs1,Srs2,Srs3), 1:3)
plot(SpP, col = 1:3, pbg="white")
