create objects of class SpatialLines or SpatialLinesDataFrame
create objects of class SpatialLines or SpatialLinesDataFrame
create objects of class SpatialLines or SpatialLinesDataFrame from lists of Lines objects and data.frames; extract list od Lines from a SpatialLines object
proj4string: Object of class "CRS"; holding a valid proj4 string
sl, SL: object of class SpatialLines-class
data: object of class data.frame; the number of rows in data
should equal the number of Lines elements in sl
match.ID: logical: (default TRUE): match SpatialLines member Lines ID slot values with data.frame row names, and re-order the data frame rows if necessary; if character: indicates the column in data with Lines IDs to match
SLDF: SpatialLinesDataFrame object
Ls: Object of class Lines
cc: Object of class Line, or two-column matrix with points
longlat: if FALSE, Euclidean distance, if TRUE Great Circle distance in kilometers
sum: logical; if TRUE return scalar length of sum of segments in Line, if FALSE return vector with segment lengths
Returns
SpatialLines returns object of class SpatialLines; SpatialLinesDataFrame returns object of class SpatialLinesDataFrame
getSpatialLinesMidPoints returns an object of class SpatialPoints,each point containing the (weighted) mean of the lines elements; weighted in the sense that mean is called twice.
