carte: Drawing a map
In GeoXp: Interactive exploratory spatial data analysis

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References

The function carte() draws a map with sites of coordinates (long,lat) and represents sites which have been selected in obs. This function is called by most of the functions of GeoXp (this is not an interactive function).

carte(long, lat, obs, sp.obj=NULL, criteria=NULL, buble=FALSE, cbuble=NULL, nointer=FALSE,
carte=NULL,nocart=FALSE, label="",cex.lab=NULL, symbol=16, lablong="", 
lablat="", method="", W=NULL,couleurs="blue", classe=NULL, legmap=NULL,
legends=list(FALSE,FALSE),labmod="",axis=FALSE)

`long`	a vector x of size n
`lat`	a vector y of size n
`obs`	a boolean vector of size n with TRUE on selected sites
`sp.obj`	a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object
`criteria`	a vector of size n of boolean with TRUE on specific sites (these for non interactive selection)
`buble`	a boolean with TRUE for drawing bubbles, FALSE otherwise
`cbuble`	vector of size n with size of each site depending on variable with which bubbles are constructed
`nointer`	a boolean with TRUE for drawing sites selected by criteria, FALSE otherwise
`carte`	matrix with 2 columns for drawing spatial polygonal contours : x and y coordinates of the vertices of the polygon
`nocart`	a boolean with TRUE for drawing spatial contours, FALSE otherwise
`label`	vector of character of size n with name of each site
`cex.lab`	character size of label
`symbol`	a vector of symbol which must be equal to the number of group else all sites are printed in pch[1]
`lablong`	name of the x-axis that will be printed on the map
`lablat`	name of the y-axis that will be printed on the map
`method`	Specification for some graphics such as ‘Neighbourplot1’, ‘Neighbourplot2’, ‘Cluster’, ‘Angleplot’, ‘Variocloud’
`W`	neighbourhood matrix of size n x n, necessary when method=‘Neighbourplot’
`couleurs`	Colors of the sites
`classe`	vector of n whith class of sites
`legmap`	a list of (numeric,numeric,numeric,numeric,numeric,numeric,character) with the sizes and the corresponding values of the 3 bubbles represented in the legend and the variable name of variable choosed
`legends`	a list of c(boolean,boolean,c(numeric,numeric),c(numeric,numeric)) with TRUE for drawing legends of bubbles (1st argument) or factors (2nd argument) and the coordinates of the location of the upper left corner of the legend box
`labmod`	Name of factors
`axis`	a boolean with True for drawing axes on the map

Options permit to represent sites with different colors or symbols, with different sizes of circle (‘bubble’), using a spatial contour (‘carte’), printing names of sites (‘label’),etc. Possibility to draw a legend giving the sizes of bubbles and colors of levels.

No values, only drawing of a map
