Hi R users
I am trying to create a spatial join between two datasets.
The first data set is large and contains descriptive data including x
and y co-ordinates.
The second dataset is small and has been selected spatially. The only
data contained within the second dataset is the x and y coordinates only
i.e. no descriptive data.
The aim of a join made between the two datasets is to select those
points (and hence all the descriptive data) from dataset one that has
the same x and y co-ordinates as dataset two.
x1<-c(1824615,1823650,1821910)
y1<-c(5980732,5983220,5990931)
descript<-c("cat", "dog", "horse")
dat1<-data.frame(x1,y1,descript)
x2<-c(1824615,1823650)
y2<-c(5980732,5983220)
dat2<-data.frame(x2,y2)
dat1
dat2
The aim of the join is to produce:
x1 y1 descript
1 1824615 5980732 cat
2 1823650 5983220 dog
And therefore limit the data in dataset 1 to that which has the same x
and y co-ordinates as dataset 2.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Andy
