Combine Voronoi polygons and maps

Question

I would like to combine Voronoi polygons with map, in order to use this later for spatial analysis. I have number of points and shapefile that i want to combine and then sav

Answer 1

Slightly modified function, takes an additional spatial polygons argument and extends to that box:

voronoipolygons <- function(x,poly) {
  require(deldir)
  if (.hasSlot(x, 'coords')) {
    crds <- x@coords  
  } else crds <- x
  bb = bbox(poly)
  rw = as.numeric(t(bb))
  z <- deldir(crds[,1], crds[,2],rw=rw)
  w <- tile.list(z)
  polys <- vector(mode='list', length=length(w))
  require(sp)
  for (i in seq(along=polys)) {
    pcrds <- cbind(w[[i]]$x, w[[i]]$y)
    pcrds <- rbind(pcrds, pcrds[1,])
    polys[[i]] <- Polygons(list(Polygon(pcrds)), ID=as.character(i))
  }
  SP <- SpatialPolygons(polys)

  voronoi <- SpatialPolygonsDataFrame(SP, data=data.frame(x=crds[,1],
                                                          y=crds[,2], row.names=sapply(slot(SP, 'polygons'), 
                                                                                       function(x) slot(x, 'ID'))))

  return(voronoi)

}

Then do:

pzn.coords<-voronoipolygons(coords,pznall)
library(rgeos)
gg = gIntersection(pznall,pzn.coords,byid=TRUE)
plot(gg)

Note that gg is a SpatialPolygons object, and you might get a warning about mismatched proj4 strings. You may need to assign the proj4 string to one or other of the objects.
