The second argument specifies the R object you are writing to this new location. The first argument is the path for the location of the ArcGIS project you wish to write your new results to. This function is often called once you have completed your work in R and need to transfer your data to ArcGIS for mapping and/or further analysis. The arc.write function allows you to easily save your data to shapefile, geodatabase, or table. Ozone.shape "PROJCS],PRIMEM,UNIT],PROJECTION,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,UNIT]" Ozone.shapeinfo "PROJCS],PRIMEM,UNIT],PROJECTION,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,UNIT]" For example, we can select six of the nine attributes from the object and elect to examine only those observations with an elevation of 1000 meters or greater. This function offers you the ability to choose specific attributes from your data set to work with and the ability to construct SQL queries to only bring in certain observations based on the criteria of your analysis. The arc.select function can be used to obtain your data set in an R data frame object. It finishes by using the R-ArcGIS Bridge to solve a spatial problem in order to demonstrate one of the many workflows possible with the use of the xmin ymin xmax ymax #> -2301587.7 -355613.7 -1795559.0 $FID #> "OID" #> #> $Shape #> "Geometry" #> #> $LATITUDE #> "Double" #> #> $LONGITUDE #> "Double" #> #> $ELEVATION #> "Double" #> #> $OZONE #> "Double" #> #> $X #> "Double" #> #> $Y #> "Double" #> #> $text #> type : Point #> WKT : PROJCS],PRIMEM,UNIT],PROJECTION,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,PARAMETER,UNIT] #> WKID : 102003 This vignette begins by guiding you through each category and showing you examples of how each function is primarily used. The functions contained within the arcgisbinding package fall into one of three categories: Once finished, the bridge allows you to transfer your data back to ArcGIS to take advantage of the mapping, publishing, and sharing aspects of ArcGIS. Through the power of the R-ArcGIS Bridge, you can easily transfer data from ArcGIS to R to gain access to the wealth of statistical packages and functions that you might need to further your analysis. The arcgisbinding package is designed to allow you to expand your ArcGIS workflows to include R and expand your R analysis to include rich geospatial analysis.
