load_fac_map_parameters: Load full annual cycle map parameters

In ebirdst: Access and Analyze eBird Status and Trends Data Products

Load full annual cycle map parameters

Description

Get the map parameters used on the eBird Status and Trends website to optimally display the full annual cycle data. This includes bins for the abundance data, a projection, and an extent to map. The extent is the spatial extent of non-zero data across the full annual cycle and the projection is optimized for this extent.

Usage

load_fac_map_parameters(species, path = ebirdst_data_dir())

Arguments

species	character; the species to load data for, given as a scientific name, common name or six-letter species code (e.g. "woothr"). The full list of valid species is in the ebirdst_runs data frame included in this package. To download the example dataset, use "yebsap-example".
path	character; directory to download the data to. All downloaded files will be placed in a sub-directory of this directory named for the data version year, e.g. "2020" for the 2020 Status Data Products. Each species' data package will then appear in a directory named with the eBird species code. Defaults to a persistent data directory, which can be found by calling ebirdst_data_dir().

Value

A list containing elements:

• custom_projection: a custom projection optimized for the given species' full annual cycle

• fa_extent: a SpatExtent object storing the spatial extent of non-zero data for the given species in the custom projection

• res: a numeric vector with 2 elements giving the target resolution of raster in the custom projection

• fa_extent_sinu: the extent in sinusoidal projection

• weekly_bins/weekly_labels: weekly abundance bins and labels for the full annual cycle

• seasonal_bins/'seasonal_labels: seasonal abundance bins and labels for the full annual cycle

Examples

## Not run: 
# download example data if hasn't already been downloaded
ebirdst_download_status("yebsap-example")

# load configuration parameters
load_fac_map_parameters(path)

## End(Not run)
