There is no particular requirement to start with decimal degrees in R.
You could have started with their original projection, as loaded into R,
and reprojected directly to your desired projection (i.e., without the
extra step of passing them through ArcGIS).
By the way, this would have been a goo
Since posting this I've figured out the problem was due to the shapefiles I
was reading in. As they were already projected they were in meters, as
oppose to decimal degrees. By opening the shapefiles in ArcGIS, reprojecting
them to WGS1984 and exporting, I could then reload them in R in decimal
deg
Hi,
I have overlayed 2 projected shapefiles using the "plot" function.
When I plot them the numbers next to the x-axis ticks are printed in
scientific format (e.g. -4e+05, -3e+05,...,), and the problem is these dont
match up to the projected point locations I also wish to overlay from my
dataset
