Df2SpLines: Data Frame to Spatial Lines
In opentraj: Tools for Creating and Analysing Air Trajectory Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

This function converts an object of type data.frame, calculated by the function ProcTraj, into an object of type SpatialLines-class.

1	Df2SpLines(df, crs=NA)

`df`	`data.frame` Object created by the function `ProcTraj`.
`crs`	String: Valid projection string. An example would be crs="+proj=longlat +datum=NAD27"

An individual line consists of a set of lines in the data frame that contains the same ID. This function identifies individual trajectories based on their length. It is assumed that all trajectories calculated by HySplit using the ProcTraj function have the same length. Thus, once known the length of the trajectories, this function splits the data frame in X different data frames where each data frame contains R rows, R being the trajectory's length and X being the number of rows in the initial data frame divided by the trajectory's length. Each of the X different data frames will be transformed into a different line.

Returns an object of class SpatialLines-class.
