gl2shp

Convert genlight objects to ESRI shapefiles or kml files

Description

This function exports cordinates in a genlight object to a point shape file (including also individual meta data if available). Coordinates are provided under x@other$latlong and assumed to be in WGS84 coordinates, if not proj4 string is provided.

Usage

gl2shp(
  x,
  type = "shp",
  proj4 = "+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs",
  outfile = "gl",
  outpath = tempdir(),
  verbose = NULL
)

Arguments

`x`	– name of the genlight object containing the SNP data and location data, lat longs [required]
`type`	– type of output "kml" or "shp" [default 'shp']
`proj4`	– proj4string of data set (see spatialreference.org for projections) [default WGS84]
`outfile`	– name (path) of the output shape file [default 'gl']. shp extension is added automatically.
`outpath`	– path where to save the output file [default tempdir(), mandated by CRAN]. Use outpath=getwd() or outpath="." when calling this function to direct output files to your working directory.
`verbose`	– verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress log ; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2 or as specified using gl.set.verbosity]
