- ArcGIS 10.3.1 or ArcGIS Pro 1.1 (don't have it? try a 60 day trial)
- R Statistical Computing Software, 3.1.0 or later (What is R?)
- 32-bit version required for ArcMap, 64-bit version required for ArcGIS Pro (Note: the installer installs both by default).
- 64-bit version can be used with ArcMap by installing Background Geoprocessing and configuring scripts to run in the background.
####Installation
For most users, the easiest way to install is using the installation toolbox which will install and configure the bridge for ArcGIS 10.3.1+ and Pro 1.1+. Alternatively, downloading the release can be manually installed into R, as shown in this screencast.
####Basic GP Tool script
tool_exec <- function (in_params, out_params)
{
value0 <- in_params[[1]]
print(value0)
# ...
return (out_params)
}
tool_exec(in_params, out_params)
main function
in_params
list of all input parameters. You can get parameter value by indexin_params[[1]]
or by parameter namein_params$param1
output_params
list of all output and derived parameters.
####Using arcgisbinding
in standalone R script
> library(arcgisbinding)
> arc.check_product()
####Building from source
- Create new folder
<ArcGIS>\R-bridge
- Set as current directory and clone repository
git clone https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/r-bridge.git ./src
- Open
R-bridge.sln
(Visual Studio 2012) and build solution
