[Biomod-commits] Building up data matrix

[Wilfried Thuiller]

Dear Matt,

There are various methods in R to extract the environmental data from 
grids to selected points (like the function "sample" in ArcGIS)

One option is to use the fantastic library maintained by Rob Hijmans 
"raster" under the R forge website.
You upload the grids, then stack them and then extract the values of a 
RasterLayer or RasterStack for a set of xy coordinates (your presence 
and/or absences). This is done via the function xyValues()

Note that we are also in the process of transforming BIOMOD to be able 
to project the potential distributions of species directly onto grids 
(using the predict function of the package raster actually).

Hope it helps,
Wilfried
