grid.hexagontile: Draw hexagon tiles with grid package

In hexDensity: Fast Kernel Density Estimation with Hexagonal Grid

Draw hexagon tiles with grid package

Description

Adapted from grid.hexagons by hexbin with speedup specific for hexagonal tiling (avoid plotting the most abundance hexagons by setting its color as background).

Usage

grid.hexagontile(
  hexDensity,
  use.count = TRUE,
  cell.at = NULL,
  trans = NULL,
  colorcut = seq(0, 1, length = 1024),
  colramp = colorRampPalette(col.viridis),
  def.unit = "native"
)

Arguments

hexDensity	hexbin object returned by hexDensity.
use.count	logical specifying if counts from hexbin object should be used.
cell.at	numeric vector to be plotted instead of counts, must be same length as the number of cells.
trans	a transformation function (or NULL) for the counts, e.g., sqrt.
colorcut	An integer for the number of equi-spaced colorcut in [0,1] to assign colors to values. Alternatively, a vector of custom colorcut spacing between [0, 1].
colramp	Color function that accept an integer n and return n colors.
def.unit	Default unit to be used.

Value

No return value

SIDE EFFECTS

Adds hexagons to plot
