getGeoData: getGeoData

In Maritimes/FGP: Tools Facilitating the Extraction of Data from the DFO REST services

Description

This function can pull data down from a GeoData service on the DFO Geoportal site. Tables with filters must be specified, and these determine what data is returned.

Usage

getGeoData(theService = NULL, filt = NULL, extr_Lim = 1000)

Arguments

theService	This specifies which service is being requested. The default is NULL, but the only current, valid value is "FGP/Groundfish_WFS_Service"
filt	the default is NULL. This specifies the table(s) you want data from, and the appropriate values for any particular field(s). The format is tableName1.fieldName1:<value1,value2>&tableName1.fieldName2:<value1,value2>&tableName3.fieldName1:<value1,value2> Please see the example for a real example.
extr_Lim	default is 1000. This identifies how many records can be extracted in a single pull from the WFS service. Unless you know that the value is something else, it should be left at 1000.
