readOGR() cannot open file
You could have shown that you have the right path with:
list.files('~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land', pattern='\\.shp$')file.exists('~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land/ne_110m_land.shp')
perhaps try:
readOGR(dsn=path.expand("~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land"), layer="ne_110m_land")
or a simpler alternative that is wrapped around that:
library(raster)s <- shapefile("~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land/ne_110m_land.shp")
Update:
rgdal
has changed a bit and you do not need to separate the path and layer anymore (at least for some formats). So you can do
x <- readOGR("~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land/ne_110m_land.shp")
(perhaps still using path.expand)
Also, if you are still using readOGR
you are a bit behind the times. It is better to use terra::vect
or sf::st_read
.
For me, the command returned the Cannot open layer
error when I included the dsn
and layer
tags.
So when I included it all just as readOGR('~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land/ne_110m_land.shp')
it worked.
Note that my file was a gjson, so I've only seen this withreadOGR('~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land/ne_110m_land.gjson')
