| Nov 2, 2012 at 19:47 | comment | added | Jeffrey Evans | I find it a bit annoying that the read.shp function does not result in an sp object. Given that the spatial R community is converging on this as the de facto standard for handling spatial objects, I find this somewhat sloppy. Given sufficient RAM and a 64bit OS, reading large data is not much of an issue. With 8GB RAM I have read 30M points and 2.5M polygons using rgdal with no issues. Here is some direction on using sp objects with ggplot2: github.com/hadley/ggplot2/wiki/plotting-polygon-shapefiles | |
