Dear all,
I have to cope with a MapInfo file (.TAB and associated files) with
obviously muliple geometries in (e.g. points and lines) and readOGR
(package: rgdal). When reading, I get the following error message:
readOGR(.,PacoursIKA)
Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer, encoding = encoding, use_iconv =
use_iconv, :
Multiple incompatible geometries: wkbPoint:wkbLineString
Of course, the cause is obvious and I can manage reading the file from
e.g. QGIS (a dialog box permits to select one of the two geometries) and
then export to a single geometry shapefile. The latter can be read from
R using readOGR.
However, I would like to know if there is a work around within rgdal (eg
an extra argument in readOGR) that could make the job done within an R
environment. The workhorse in QGIS is gdal as in rgdal, so suppose
something may be possible.
Best,
Patrick
Patrick,
I don't know the answer to your question but if you post it on the
R-sig-Geo list (https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo) you
might get a satisfying answer faster.
Cheers,
