Hi List,

I am new to R spatial.  I have group of islands in a lake that I kayak around 
and observe birds, animals, and vegetation.  I wanted to create a map of my 
trips and points of observation.

My study area is essentially at the edges of two 7.5 quads, south edge of top 
and north edge of bottom.  My goal has been to join parts of these two quad 
maps and derive a map showing my study area.

To Start:

drg85<- raster("~path/drg85.tif")
drg87<- raster("~path/drg97.tif")

drg85_p<- crop(drg85, extent(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax))
if(require(rgdal)){drg85_pw<- writeRaster(drg85_p, filename="drg85_p", 
format="GTiff", overwrite=TRUE)}

(do the same crop and write for drg97_p)
the cropping also allowed for plotting in a small RAM laptop
drg85_p<- readGDAL("~path/drg85_p.tif")#returns SpatialGridDataFrame
drg97_p<- readGDAL("~path/drg97_p.tif")#returns SpatialGridDataFrame

So I tried to cbind:
 drg8597_ps<- cbind(drg85_p, drg97_p)
Error in stop.ifnot.equal(x, grds[[1]]) : topology is not equal

> getGridTopology(drg85_p)
                             x                    y
cellcentre.offset 1.011904e+06   4.556105e+05
cellsize              8.252375e+00   8.252375e+00
cells.dim            2.001000e+03   8.960000e+02
> getGridTopology(drg97_p)
                             x                  y
cellcentre.offset 1.011901e+06   4.54005e+05
cellsize              8.251850e+00  8.25185e+00
cells.dim            2.013000e+03   2.00000e+02

And indeed they're different, most especially between y cells.dim. 
Checked to see if the grids held data:
> fullgrid(drg85_p)
[1] TRUE
> fullgrid(drg97_p)
[1] TRUE
So I thought, well most of the area is in drg85_p, why not make the topology of 
drg97_p the same as drg85_p and tried:

> drg97_p<- 
> GridTopology(cellcentre.offset(x=1.011904e+06,y=4.556105e+05),cellsize(x=8.252375e+00,
>  y=8.253275e+00), cells.dim(x=2.001000e+03 y=8.960000e+02))
Error in initialize(value, ...) : 
  could not find function "cellcentre.offset"

OK- get the form right:
> drg97_p<- GridTopology(c(1.011904e+06, 4.556105e+05),c(8.252375e+00, 
> 9.252375e+00),c(2.0010000e+03,8.960000e+02))
> fullgrid(drg97_p)
[1] FALSE

Oops, the data.  Well, I've made a grid. Go readGDAL to drg97_pd again.

And now I can't figure out how to read out the data and write to my equal 
topology.
Any help would be appreciated.

Chris
