area2dxf {adehabitat} | R Documentation

## Exportation of Areas

### Description

`area2dxf` exports a data frame of class `area` in a DXF file. Such files can be read by virtually all Geographic Information Systems.

### Usage

    area2dxf(x, file, lay = 1:nlevels(factor(x[, 1])))

### Arguments

`x` | an object of class `area`
`file` | a character string giving the name of the DXF file to be created
`lay` | an optional vector with a length equal to the number of polygons in `x`. This vector is then stored in the field "Layer" of the DXF file (see examples), for GIS mapping
