R-based Geographic Information System (GIS) utilities
The rgis package facilitates GIS functionality and workflows commonly represented in proprietary and open source GISs. This package does not contain functionality for visualization, but is focused on geospatial algorithms for analysis, conversion, IO, modification, and workflows of spatial files and data structures.
rgis can be installed directly from its GitHub repository using the R devtools package. From an R prompt, run the command:
devtools::install_github('jgcri/rgis')
