How to plot rectangle/bounding box in R?

How do I generate a box rather than the hourglass shape this code is returning? I've tried changing the order of the coordinates but always have that "x" forming rather than a box, sometimes as a sideways hourglass.



library(sp)
mybb <- cbind(x=c(363498.5,480497.5,363498.5, 480497.5,363498.5), y=c(5894630,5894630,5806524,5806524,5894630))
crs <-CRS("+proj=utm +zone=12 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0")
mybb <- SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Polygon(mybb)),"1")), proj4string=crs)
plot(mybb)


Returns:



Coordinates not plotted as a rectangle/box

  • Please start the script with a call to library(pkgname) to load the package where functions CRS, SpatialPolygons, etc are to be found.

Not sure why rearranging the coordinates hasn't worked so far. This worked for me.



library(rgdal)
library(sp)

mybb <- cbind(x=c(363498.5, 480497.5, 480497.5, 363498.5), y=c(5894630, 5894630, 5806524, 5806524))
crs <-CRS("+proj=utm +zone=12 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0")
mybb <- SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Polygon(mybb)),"1")), proj4string=crs)
plot(mybb)

  • Thanks! For others, this is the order coordinate pairs should be written, where TL = top left, RB = right bottom etc. referring to vertices of a rectangle: 1) TL, 2) TR, 3) BR, 4) BL, optionally 5) TL to close (clockwise)
