I am trying to reproject a shapefile. For example, the land shapefile from Natural Earth.
library(sf)
shape <- read_sf(".../ne_10m_land.shp")
shape_proj<-spTransform(shape, CRS("+proj=gnom +lat_0=90 +lon_0=-50"))
I keep getting the following error, even when I try with CRSobj= or using other ways to express the CRS.
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function ‘spTransform’ for signature ‘"sf", "CRS"’
check the data type,
class(shape)
if it returns sf "data.frame" you should use st_transform instead of spTransform
shape_proj<-st_transform(shape, CRS("+proj=gnom +lat_0=90 +lon_0=-50"))
Try to use this function instead: st_transform(shape,st_crs(shape2)) #that's if you want your CRS to match another coordinate system (shape2 in this case)
spTranformis for sp objects (the 'old' way). For sf objects you must usest_transform
