plot.movecost_network: Plot a least-cost network

In movecost: Calculation of Slope-Dependant Accumulated Cost Surface, Least-Cost Paths, Least-Cost Corridors, Least-Cost Networks Related to Human Movement Across the Landscape

Plot a least-cost network

Description

Returns a ggplot object showing either the network of least-cost paths over the DTM (type = "paths", default) or the path-density raster (type = "density", available if the network was computed with density = TRUE).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'movecost_network'
plot(
  x,
  type = c("paths", "density"),
  transp = 0.5,
  lcp.lwd = 0.3,
  node.lab = TRUE,
  cex.node.lab = 3,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	a movecost_network object.
type	"paths" (default) or "density".
transp	transparency of the slope-shade overlay (0.5 by default).
lcp.lwd	line width of the network paths (0.3 by default).
node.lab	TRUE (default) or FALSE: label each node with its index. The indices match the row and column names of the returned cost.matrix, so a node on the map can be related to its entries in the matrix (reproducing the behaviour of movecost <= 2.x).
cex.node.lab	size of the node labels (3 by default, in ggplot2 text-size units).
...	unused.

Value

A ggplot object (draw it by printing; customise it with +).
