Hello I have managed to download and plot the outline for the River Tweed In the Sottish borders) catchment using this code. 21009 is a zipfile downloaded from the FEH website https://fehweb.ceh.ac.uk/Map:
require(rgdal) shape <- readOGR(dsn ="C:/Users/nick/Desktop/PhD Oct 22", layer = "21009") shape plot(shape) and I get an outline of the Tweed catchment which I can use the zipfile has eight documents all with the name “21009.” and the suffixes cpg/dbf/prj/sbn/sbx/shp/shp/shx There are two .shp docs, one labelled as SHP file and one as XML file. However I then have downloaded a file of a plot of all the rivers in the uk from https://osdatahub.os.uk/downloads/open I’ve put this data into a zipfile with the name “rivers” Within this are eight docs – four with the names HydroNode. and suffixes dbf/prj/shp/shx and four with the name WatercourseLink. and the four suffixes. Just subbing in “rivers” for “21009” in my code above doesn’t work and I can’t find a way of getting into the shapefiles and opening them I'd be grateful if anyone can help me get further with this Thanks Nick Wray [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
