linemap: Line chart of map and non map data

In mgraph: Graphing map attributes and non-map variables in R

Description

The line chart function plots an attribute of a map data. It also returns tabular data or frequencies

Usage

linemap(source,layer='',attributes,type='',label="",col='')
## Default S3 method:
linemap(source,layer='',attributes,type='',label="",col='')
## S3 method for class 'linemap'
print(x,...)
## S3 method for class 'linemap'
summary(object,...)
## S3 method for class 'linemap'
plot(x,...)

Arguments

source	Folder path of the layer or map or data. Please quote the full folder path with forward slashes "/". You can use R object as a source but you must set the layer parameter to "nofile"; see below
layer	The layer map in the folder that you want to work with. It is the file name of map. This is case sensitive, please. In case you want to use non spatial data such as ".csv", ".txt", "dat" or ".tab" insert the full file name as layer. In case of using R object as a source set "layer" parameter to "nofile"
type	The type of line chart you want to use. It can take "p","l","o","b","c","s","S", or "h". Set it to "map" if you want a map to be drawn for the attribute
attributes	The attributes or variables of the map name of the layer or the map you want use. This function takes only two attributes separated by comma: see example below. In case of using non spatial data such as ".csv", ".txt", "dat" or ".tab" attributes are variable or column names
label	The labeling title of the chart.
col	The colour of the chart
x	An object of class "linemap", i.e., a fitted model.
object	an object of class "linemap", i.e., a fitted model.
...	any other R parameters can be added

Value

Objects of the class that basically list its elements

data	Original data for the model
table	Frequency of the original data
source	Folder path of the layer or map
layer	The layer map in the source folder
attribute	The attribute name of the layer or the map that was used.
label	he labeling title of the chart.

Examples

## Not run: 
#example one: using non spatial data
source<- system.file("external", package = "mgraph")
layer="farms"
attributes="Age,FArea"
graph=linemap(source,layer,attributes,type="l",col='black',label="")
summary(graph)
print(graph)
plot(graph)

#example two: using R object
data(meuse.all, package="gstat")
linemap(meuse.all,layer="nofile",attributes="zinc,copper",type="l")

## End(Not run)
