Hi, I have a little problem.
I'm trying to do the following:
Convert _projected_ shapes from a Map object into logical matrices. That is, rasterize a shape into a logical "in-the-shape" and "out-of-the-shape" matrix.
What I'm trying to do is get an 'equal-area' estimate of the area of intersection between two overlapping shapes, without any concern about there being holes in the shapes. I know owin can deal with most of this, but for sure it doesn't support geographic projections, which will allow the 'equal-area' estimate to be equal.
An idea I had was to pipe the output of the maptools Map plotting function map into the matrix. But I really have no idea how to do that at this point in my R education.
Any suggestions are extremely welcome.
Cheers,
James
