plotComb: Plot traitspace results

In Traitspace: A Predictive Model for Trait Based Community Assembly of Plant Species

Description

Plots traitspace results in a single window. Plots the predicted relative abundances and the observed relative abundances (by default) or the predicted species distributions and the observed species distributions if byrow=FALSE.

Usage

plotComb(result, obs = NULL, byrow = TRUE, compare = TRUE)

Arguments

result	The output from the traitspace function (class traitspace)
obs	The observed matrix - where, each row corresponds to a site and each column to a species - the order of sites and species should match with the order in which they appear in the predicted matrix. By default, NULL, will generate the observed matrix using the supplied trait data using the trueP function. See the trueP function for details.
byrow	By default, TRUE, will plot the relative abundances. If FALSE, will plot the species distribution.
compare	By default, TRUE, will plot both the predicted as well as the observed values. If FALSE, will only plot the predicted values.

Details

Plots upto six species/sites in a single window. Will create multiple windows (multiples of six) if the number of species/sites is more.

Value

Traitspace plots.
