Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

This wrapper function will export maps for all species in data.

mapBatch(data, zoom = T, margin = 0.1, axes = T, shape = NULL,
export = "pdf", raster = NULL, RGB = NULL, points.col = "black", 
points.border = "gray50", points.cex = 1, shape.col = "white", 
shape.border = "black", raster.col = rev(gray.colors(65, start = 0, end = 1)), 
raster.legend = F, hillshade = F, width = 8, height = 8, 
image.resolution = 100, figure.number = T, title = T, box = T, 
add.minimap = F, minimap.shape = NULL, minimap.shape.col = "white", 
minimap.shape.border = "gray50", minimap.pos = "topleft", 
minimap.add.points = T, minimap.points.col = "black", 
minimap.points.border = "gray50", minimap.points.cex = 1, 
minimap.extent = NULL, minimap.rect.fill = NA, minimap.rect.border = NULL,
maxpixels = 1e+05, ...)

The function has three output options: a single pdf with all maps (export = "pdf") or individual image files for each species (export = "tiff" or "jpeg"). It requires a data.frame with three columns, ordered as: species, longitude and latitude. If zoom = TRUE, the function will set the limits of the plot using the distribution of each species plus the margin (relative value). If zoom = FALSE, the function will use the distribution of the whole data to set the limits (all maps will have the same limits). Colors can be changed with the arguments points.col, shape.col, shape.border, while the size of the points can be changed with points.cex. A raster layer can be provided (elevation for instance), and the colors of the raster are controlled by raster.col. The user can provide a single or a list of shape files, otherwise the maptools map is used.

Exports a pdf or image files.
