area2dxf: Exportation of Areas

In adehabitat: Analysis of Habitat Selection by Animals

Description

area2dxf exports a data frame of class area in a DXF file. Such files can be read by virtually all Geographic Information Systems.

Usage

area2dxf(x, file, lay = 1:nlevels(factor(x[, 1])))

Arguments

x	an object of class area
file	a character string giving the name of the DXF file to be created
lay	an optional vector with a length equal to the number of polygons in x. This vector is then stored in the field "Layer" of the DXF file (see examples), for GIS mapping
