River shapefiles for receiver distance calculation
PieterjanVerhelst opened this issue · comments
Overview of the various river shapefiles to calculate the distance between detection stations are:
- nete.shp: SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
- LowCountries_Water_2004.shp: SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
- seavox_sea_area_polygons_v13.shp: SpatialPolygonsDataFrame (shapefile for Westerschelde)
- PJ_ontbrekende_stukken_reduced.shp: SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
- Statutory_Main_River_Map.shp: SpatialLinesDataFrame (shapefile for Frome)
- WFD_River_Canal_and_Surface_Water_Transfer_Water_Bodies_Cycle_2.shp: SpatialLinesDataFrame
- Europe_Water_2008.shp: SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
- Other_large_rivers_and_tributaries.shp: SpatialLinesDataFrame
- narva_river.shp: SpatialLinesDataFrame
- Rivers.shp: SpatialLinesDataFrame
- Nemunas_delta.shp: SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
- loire_final.shp: SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
The file BJ3D.shp is a SpatialLinesDataFrame, but contains the contours of the river. Is this useful? The euclidean distance between stations can be calculated within these contours. If this is not useful, I can create a SpatialLinesDataFrame in GIS. See image below for better understanding.
Don't know if my answer is still relevant, but I think it would be nice to work with contours if possible. For instance if you later apply it on a 2D study (VPS system). What is your opinion?
@IPauwels this is irrelevant for the question ;-). In that case a polygon shapefile can be used.
Ok, so what is your question then?
There is no question, just an overview upon Damiano's request of the various shapefiles that will be uploaded to test code that calculates distance between receivers automatically.
Other shapefiles have been created and added to the repo, so this documantary issue became redundant.
