    Package ‘rgdal’ September 16, 2021 Title Bindings for the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library Version 1.5-27 Date 2021-09-16 Depends R (>= 3.5.0), methods, sp (>= 1.1-0) Imports grDevices, graphics, stats, utils LinkingTo sp Suggests knitr, DBI, RSQLite, maptools, mapview, rmarkdown, curl, rgeos NeedsCompilation yes Description Provides bindings to the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Li- brary ('GDAL') (>= 1.11.4) and access to projection/transformation opera- tions from the 'PROJ' library. Please note that 'rgdal' will be retired by the end of 2023, plan tran- sition to sf/stars/'terra' functions using 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' at your earliest conve- nience. Use is made of classes defined in the 'sp' package. Raster and vector map data can be im- ported into R, and raster and vector 'sp' objects exported. The 'GDAL' and 'PROJ' libraries are ex- ternal to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly in- stalled first; it is important that 'GDAL' < 3 be matched with 'PROJ' < 6. From 'rgdal' 1.5-8, in- stalled with to 'GDAL' >=3, 'PROJ' >=6 and 'sp' >= 1.4, coordinate reference sys- tems use 'WKT2_2019' strings, not 'PROJ' strings. 'Windows' and 'macOS' binaries (includ- ing 'GDAL', 'PROJ' and their dependencies) are provided on 'CRAN'.

  • US Topo Map Users Guide
    US Topo Map Users Guide April 2018. Based on Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.20 (Minor updates and corrections, November 2017.) April 2018 Updates Based on Adobe Reader DC version 2018.009.20050 In 2017, US Topo production systems were redesigned. This system change has few impacts on the design and appearance of US Topo maps, but does affect the geospatial characteristics. The previous version of this Users Guide is frozen in its current form, and applies to US Topo maps created The previous version of this Users Guide, which before approximately June 2017 and to all HTMC applies to US Topo maps created before June maps. The document you are now reading applies 2017 and to all HTMC maps, is linked from to US Topo maps created after June 2017, and https://nationalmap.gov/ustopo will be maintained into the future. US Topo maps are the current generation of USGS topographic maps. The first of these maps were published in 2009. They are modeled on the legacy 7.5-minute series of the mid-20th century, but unlike traditional topographic maps they are mass produced from GIS databases, and are published as PDF documents instead of as paper maps. US Topo maps include base data from The National Map and other sources, including roads, hydrography, contours, boundaries, woodland cover, structures, geographic names, an aerial photo image, Federal land boundaries, and shaded relief. For more information see the project web page at https://nationalmap.gov/ustopo. The Historical Topographic Map Collection (HTMC) includes all editions and all scales of USGS standard topographic quadrangle maps originally published as paper maps in the period 1884-2006.

  • AGD Landscape & Environment 6 (2) 2012. 76-92. COMPARISON of the MOST POPULAR OPEN-SOURCE GIS SOFTWARE in the FIELD of LANDS
    AGD Landscape & Environment 6 (2) 2012. 76-92. COMPARISON OF THE MOST POPULAR OPEN-SOURCE GIS SOFTWARE IN THE FIELD OF LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY SZEMÁN ISTVÁN1 1University of Debrecen, Department of Landscape Protection and Environmental Geography, Debrecen, 4032, Egyetem tér 1. E-mail: [email protected] Received 2 March 2012; accepted in revised form 21 December 2012 Abstract GIS (Geographic Information System) software is a very useful tool in modern landscape ecology research. With its help data can be obtained which can - after processing - help to understand and demonstrate the processes taking place in the landscape. Since direct environmental measurements and sampling from a large area are, in many cases, difficult or even impossible, modelling with GIS tools is very important in the workflow of landscape research and landscape analysis. In this article we review the best known open source GIS systems and geographic information tools with possibilities for landscape ecology application. Furthermore we will introduce all the basic concepts that are associated with these open source software programmes. We provide a comparative analysis of the most widely used open source GIS applications, where, through a specific example, we will examine how these tools are used to produce basic landscape metric indicators. We will examine those functions of the programmes that are necessary to produce a complete thematic map, and finally we will emphasize various other important functions of the software to give adequate information for those users who choose open source code GIS tools, for financial reasons or otherwise, to complete a landscape ecology analysis. Our opinion is that this type of comparison is much more informative than those done by proprietary software, because these latter are all based on a basic data library, and therefore yield similar results (proj4, gdal/ogr, jts/geos, etc.) to their ‘paid’ competitors.

  • Need to Clip an Image?

In addition to using the Clip tool in the Raster toolbox in ArcToolbox, there are Use the Get Data other ways to quickly output a clipped raster. For ArcPad wizard Here are two simple interactive methods—using in the ArcPad the ArcPad toolbar that comes with ArcMap and toolbar in ArcMap exporting an image with the spatial extent of the to export an image current view that has the information available to clipped to the georeference it. current view or a specified spatial ArcPad Extraction Option extent. Use the ArcPad toolbar in ArcMap to extract an image. Clicking on the Get Data For ArcPad button in the toolbar will invoke a wizard for extracting data from the current map document and placing it in a checkout folder. This wizard writes vector features to new shapefiles and compresses raster images and saves them in MrSID format. The Get Data For ArcPad wizard contains several panels for defining properties related to the data being extracted. The layers 4.
