RPyGeo-package: RPyGeo: ArcGIS Geoprocessing in R via Python

In RPyGeo: ArcGIS Geoprocessing via Python

Description

Provide access to (virtually any) ArcGIS geoprocessing tool from within R by running Python geoprocessing without writing Python code or touching ArcGIS.

Details

The package utilizes the ArcPy Python site-package or the ArcGIS API in order to access ArcGIS functionality. The function rpygeo_build_env can be applied to generate an ArcPy or arcgis object.

Examples

# load the ArcPy module related to ArcGIS Pro (and save it as a R
# object called "arcpy_m") in R and also set the overwrite parameter
# to FALSE and add some extensions. Note that we do not have to set the path
# because the Python version is located in the default location
# (C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/Pro/bin/Python/envs/arcgispro-py3/)in this example.
## Not run: arcpy <- rpygeo_build_env(overwrite = TRUE,
                                     extensions = c("3d", "Spatial", "na"),
                                     pro = TRUE)
## End(Not run)
# Suppose we want to calculate the slope of a Digtial Elevation Model.
# It is possible to get the description of any ArcPy function as a R list:
## Not run: py_function_docs("arcpy$Slope_3d")
# Now we can run our computation:
## Not run: arcpy$Slope_3d(arcpy$Slope_3d(in_raster = "dem.tif", out_raster = "slope.tif")
