addLines: Add a PolySet to an Existing Plot as Polylines

In PBSmapping: Mapping Fisheries Data and Spatial Analysis Tools

Add a PolySet to an Existing Plot as Polylines

Description

Add a PolySet to an existing plot, where each unique (PID, SID) describes a polyline.

Usage

addLines (polys, xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL,
    polyProps = NULL, lty = NULL, col = NULL, arrows = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

polys	PolySet to add (required).
xlim	range of X-coordinates.
ylim	range of Y-coordinates.
polyProps	PolyData specifying which polylines to plot and their properties. par parameters passed as direct arguments supersede these data.
lty	vector of line types (cycled by PID).
col	vector of colours (cycled by PID).
arrows	Boolean value; if TRUE, add arrows using the arrows function and consider the arguments angle, length, and code.
...	additional par parameters for the lines function.

Details

The plotting routine does not connect the last vertex of each discrete polyline to the first vertex of that polyline. It clips polys to xlim and ylim before plotting.

For additional help on the arguments lty and col, please see par.

Value

PolyData consisting of the PolyProps used to create the plot.

Examples

local(envir=.PBSmapEnv,expr={
  oldpar = par(no.readonly=TRUE)
  #--- create a PolySet to plot
  polys <- data.frame(PID=rep(1,4),POS=1:4,X=c(0,1,1,0),Y=c(0,0,1,1))
  polys <- as.PolySet(polys, projection=1)
  #--- plot the PolySet
  plotLines(polys, xlim=c(-.5,1.5), ylim=c(-.5,1.5), projection=1)
  #--- add the PolySet to the plot (in a different style)
  addLines(polys, lwd=5, col=3)
  par(oldpar)
})
