The R-ArcGIS bridge was recently featured in the live training seminar, Go Deeper with Data Analytics Using ArcGIS Pro and R. The topics covered included, how to easily transfer data between ArcGIS Pro and R, an open-source programming language for statistical analysis, and how to access R’s powerful statistical functions from within ArcGIS Pro. This functionality of the bridge allows you to perform an analysis unique to R in complement with ArcGIS tools, and enables streamlined workflows and simple sharing of advanced workflows. Additionally, R users were shown how they can use the bridge to easily access geospatial data and to take advantage of the advanced visualizations and geoprocessing capabilities of ArcGIS Pro. This seminar is freely available for all to view until September 30 th . Additionally, all the resources used in the seminar have been made available for you to access and to learn from. These materials can be found by navigating to the GitHub home page for the R-ArcGIS Community and clicking on the r-sample-tools box.  It is here that you will find the data, scripts, and some documentation for the live training seminar. For those looking for extra examples, additional sample scripts and data to be used with the bridge for tools like model based clustering and semiparametric regression can also be found here. In addition to tools created and shared by the R-ArcGIS bridge user community for others to use and learn from. We are always excited to feature community contributions to the R-ArcGIS bridge project, so as you create your own script tools, consider contributing to the GitHub project for the bridge for others to benefit from as well. Finally, if you are considering getting started working with the bridge for the first time, check out our new installation instruction videos for your current version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap. ArcGIS Pro 2.0+ ArcGIS Pro 1.1-1.4.1 ArcMap 10.3.1+ We hope you enjoy and happy bridging!

At this year's UC, the R-ArcGIS bridge continued to revolutionize the way we think about our workflows by showcasing its ability to incorporate novel analytical methods and to streamline the process of integrating R functionality into ArcGIS. The power of the bridge goes beyond being able to easily transfer data between ArcGIS and R and vice versa. The bridge allows us to wrap R functionality directly into ArcGIS geoprocessing script tools which enables concise analysis processes and the ability to share R functionality with anyone in your organization. Additionally, the bridge eases certain tasks when working with GIS data in R. The R-ArcGIS bridge offers R users the ability to work with all types of spatial data, everything from shapefiles, geodatabases, tables, feature services, and more, along with a simplified process for reprojecting data and even the ability to generate data from specific statistical distributions and directly write it into ArcGIS. Here is one of the demos given at the UC that shows off some of this functionality. Support for learning about additional functions included in the R-ArcGIS bridge's R package, arcgisbinding, can be found in the package's vignette. If you are interested in learning how to get started with the bridge for other versions of Pro or ArcMap, you can find installation information on the bridge's website. If you are looking for guided resources on using the bridge's basic functionality, check out our Learn Lesson on the bridge, our introductory web course, or join us for our live training seminar on the R-ArcGIS bridge on August, 31st. Finally, if you are interested in more advanced functionality, like creating script tools, check out our second web course on this topic. Happy bridging and stay tuned for more updates on the bridge coming in Pro 2.1!  ... View more

Understanding the complex challenges we face in the world today requires bringing together the best available tools, and that often means integrating functionality across platforms. The R-ArcGIS bridge provides a seamless connection between the sophisticated mapping capabilities of ArcGIS and the powerful statistical programming language R.  ... View more

This past month, the R-ArcGIS bridge showcased its capabilities on the main stage. At Esri’s 2017 DevSummit, the bridge was demoed along with ArcGIS’ conda-based python integration to show users the power and possibilities the two provide. To provide our users with easier access to the R-ArcGIS bridge and all of its capabilities, we have been working hard on multiple new resources. Our goal is to not only enable users to quickly get up and running with the bridge and all of its features, but also to inspire users with new ways the bridge can extend their workflows. The first of these resources is a new Learn ArcGIS lesson and video called Analyze Crime Using Statistics and the R-ArcGIS Bridge. The lesson walks you through installing the R-ArcGIS bridge, getting everything up and running, as well as the process of doing an analysis where you’ll seamlessly move between R and ArcGIS, depending on the analytical methods you want to employ. By the end, you’ll be ready to tackle your own analyses harnessing the power of both R and ArcGIS in new and exciting ways. Additionally, two new web courses have been created. The first of which, “Using the R-ArcGIS Bridge“, is designed to show you the basics of installing the bridge, transferring data back and forth between ArcGIS and R, and features a simple analysis utilizing R. The second course, “Integrating R Scripts into ArcGIS Geoprocessing Tools“, specifically focuses on how to use the bridge to wrap R functionality and create script tools that can be used in ArcGIS, just like any other tool. Check them all out and please let us know of any feedback you may have! Happy Bridging!  ... View more
