La respuesta de Spacedman y las sugerencias anteriores fueron útiles, pero en sí mismas no constituyen una respuesta completa. Después de un trabajo de detective de mi parte, me he acercado a una respuesta, aunque todavía no he logrado interponerme gIntersection
en el camino que quiero (ver la pregunta original más arriba). Sin embargo, yo he conseguido mi nuevo polígono en el SpatialPolygonsDataFrame.
ACTUALIZACIÓN 2012-11-11: Parece que he encontrado una solución viable (ver más abajo). La clave era envolver los polígonos en una SpatialPolygons
llamada cuando se usaba gIntersection
desde el rgeos
paquete. La salida se ve así:
[1] "Haverfordwest: Portfield ED (poly 2) area = 1202564.3, intersect = 143019.3, intersect % = 11.9%"
[1] "Haverfordwest: Prendergast ED (poly 3) area = 1766933.7, intersect = 100870.4, intersect % = 5.7%"
[1] "Haverfordwest: Castle ED (poly 4) area = 683977.7, intersect = 338606.7, intersect % = 49.5%"
[1] "Haverfordwest: Garth ED (poly 5) area = 1861675.1, intersect = 417503.7, intersect % = 22.4%"
Insertar el polígono fue más difícil de lo que pensaba porque, sorprendentemente, no parece haber un ejemplo fácil de seguir para insertar una nueva forma en un archivo de formas derivado de la Encuesta de artillería existente. He reproducido mis pasos aquí con la esperanza de que sea útil para alguien más. El resultado es un mapa como este.
Si / cuando resuelvo el problema de la intersección, editaré esta respuesta y agregaré los pasos finales, a menos que, por supuesto, alguien me supere y proporcione una respuesta completa. Mientras tanto, los comentarios / consejos sobre mi solución hasta ahora son bienvenidos.

## Download the Ordnance Survey Boundary-Line data (large!) from this URL:
## https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendatadownload/products.html
## then extract all the files to a local folder.
## Read the electoral division (ward) boundaries from the shapefile
shp1 <- readOGR("C:/test", layer = "unitary_electoral_division_region")
## First subset down to the electoral divisions for the county of Pembrokeshire...
shp2 <- shp1[shp1$FILE_NAME == "SIR BENFRO - PEMBROKESHIRE" | shp1$FILE_NAME == "SIR_BENFRO_-_PEMBROKESHIRE", ]
## ... then the electoral divisions for the town of Haverfordwest (this could be done in one step)
shp3 <- shp2[grep("haverford", shp2$NAME, ignore.case = TRUE),]
## Create a matrix holding the long/lat coordinates of the desired new shape;
## one coordinate pair per line makes it easier to visualise the coordinates
my.coord.pairs <- c(
194500,215500,
194500,216500,
195500,216500,
195500,215500,
194500,215500)
my.rows <- length(my.coord.pairs)/2
my.coords <- matrix(my.coord.pairs, nrow = my.rows, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)
## The Ordnance Survey-derived SpatialPolygonsDataFrame is rather complex, so
## rather than creating a new one from scratch, copy one row and use this as a
## template for the new polygon. This wouldn't be ideal for complex/multiple new
## polygons but for just one simple polygon it seems to work
newpoly <- shp3[1,]
## Replace the coords of the template polygon with our own coordinates
newpoly@polygons[[1]]@Polygons[[1]]@coords <- my.coords
## Change the name as well
newpoly@data$NAME <- "zzMyPoly" # polygons seem to be plotted in alphabetical
# order so make sure it is plotted last
## The IDs must not be identical otherwise the spRbind call will not work
## so use the spCHFIDs to assign new IDs; it looks like anything sensible will do
newpoly2 <- spChFIDs(newpoly, paste("newid", 1:nrow(newpoly), sep = ""))
## Now we should be able to insert the new polygon into the existing SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
shp4 <- spRbind(shp3, newpoly2)
## We want a visual check of the map with the new polygon but
## ggplot requires a data frame, so use the fortify() function
mydf <- fortify(shp4, region = "NAME")
## Make a distinction between the underlying shapes and the new polygon
## so that we can manually set the colours
mydf$filltype <- ifelse(mydf$id == 'zzMyPoly', "colour1", "colour2")
## Now plot
ggplot(mydf, aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group)) +
geom_polygon(colour = "black", size = 1, aes(fill = mydf$filltype)) +
scale_fill_manual("Test", values = c(alpha("Red", 0.4), "white"), labels = c("a", "b"))
## Visual check, successful, so back to the original problem of finding intersections
overlaid.poly <- 6 # This is the index of the polygon we added
num.of.polys <- length(shp4@polygons)
all.polys <- 1:num.of.polys
all.polys <- all.polys[-overlaid.poly] # Remove the overlaid polygon - no point in comparing to self
all.polys <- all.polys[-1] ## In this case the visual check we did shows that the
## first polygon doesn't intersect overlaid poly, so remove
## Display example intersection for a visual check - note use of SpatialPolygons()
plot(gIntersection(SpatialPolygons(shp4@polygons[3]), SpatialPolygons(shp4@polygons[6])))
## Calculate and print out intersecting area as % total area for each polygon
areas.list <- sapply(all.polys, function(x) {
my.area <- shp4@polygons[[x]]@Polygons[[1]]@area # the OS data contains area
intersected.area <- gArea(gIntersection(SpatialPolygons(shp4@polygons[x]), SpatialPolygons(shp4@polygons[overlaid.poly])))
print(paste(shp4@data$NAME[x], " (poly ", x, ") area = ", round(my.area, 1), ", intersect = ", round(intersected.area, 1), ", intersect % = ", sprintf("%1.1f%%", 100*intersected.area/my.area), sep = ""))
return(intersected.area) # return the intersected area for future use
