Legend for Hatched Maps

Description

Plot legend for hatched maps.

Usage

legendHatched(
  pos = "topleft",
  title.txt = "Title of the legend",
  title.cex = 0.8,
  values.cex = 0.6,
  categ,
  patterns,
  ptrn.bg = "white",
  ptrn.text = "X",
  dot.cex = 0.5,
  text.cex = 0.5,
  cex = 1,
  frame = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

pos	position of the legend, one of "topleft", "top", "topright", "right", "bottomright", "bottom", "bottomleft", "bottomleftextra", "left" or a vector of two coordinates in map units (c(x, y)).
title.txt	title of the legend.
title.cex	size of the legend title.
values.cex	size of the values in the legend.
categ	vector of categories.
patterns	vector of patterns to be created for each element on categ, see hatchedLayer.
ptrn.bg	background of the legend box for each categ.
ptrn.text	text to be used for each categ="text", as a single value or a vector.
dot.cex	cex of each patterns = "dot" categories, as a single value or a vector.
text.cex	text size of each patterns = "text" categories, as a single value or a vector.
cex	size of the legend. 2 means two times bigger.
frame	whether to add a frame to the legend (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
...	optional graphical parameters, see details on hatchedLayer

Note

It is also possible to create solid legends, by setting col and ptrn.bg to the same color. Parameters would honour the order of the categ variable.
