psegments: Projected segments function

In autoimage: Multiple Heat Maps for Projected Coordinates

Description

psegments takes pairs of coordinates and draws line segments between them, possibly after projection.

Usage

psegments(x0, y0, x1 = x0, y1 = y0, proj, ...)

Arguments

x0, y0	coordinates of points from which to draw.
x1, y1	coordinates of points to which to draw
proj	A character string indicating what projection should be used for the included x and y coordinates. The default is "none". The other valid choices correspond to the "projection" argument in the mapproject function, which is used for the projection.
...	Additional arguments to pass to the segments function.

Details

The mapproject function is used for projection.

Examples

data(narccap)
# plot image using bonne projection (w/o grid lines)
pimage(lon, lat, tasmax[,,1], proj = "bonne",
       parameters = 40, paxes.args = list(grid = FALSE))
# some locations for u.s. cities
# taken from data(us.cities, package = "maps")
boston <- c(-71.02, 42.34)
la <- c(-118.41, 34.11)
ny <- c(-73.94, 40.67)
sf <- c(-122.45, 37.77)
# plot segments between sf, la and ny boston
x0 <- c(sf[1], ny[1])
y0 <- c(sf[2], ny[2])
x1 <- c(la[1], boston[1])
y1 <- c(la[2], boston[2])
psegments(x0, y0, x1, y1, proj = "bonne", lwd = 3)
citycoords <- rbind(sf, la, ny, boston)
cityxy <- list(x = citycoords[,1], y = citycoords[,2])
citynames <- c("san francisco", "los angeles", "new york", "boston") 
ptext(cityxy, labels = citynames, proj = 'bonne')
