occCiteMap: Generating a map of downloaded points

In occCite: Querying and Managing Large Biodiversity Occurrence Datasets

Generating a map of downloaded points

Description

Makes maps for each individual species in an occCiteData object.

Usage

occCiteMap(
  occCiteData,
  species_map = "all",
  species_colors = NULL,
  ds_map = c("GBIF", "BIEN"),
  map_limit = 1000,
  awesomeMarkers = TRUE,
  cluster = FALSE
)

Arguments

occCiteData	An object of class occCiteData to map
species_map	Character; either the default "all" to map all species in occCiteData, or a subset of these specified as a character or character vector.
species_colors	Character; the default NULL will choose random colors from those available (see Details), or those specified by the user as a character or character vector (the number of colors must match the number of species mapped).
ds_map	Character; specifies which data service records will be mapped, with the default being GBIF, BIEN, and GBIF_BIEN (records with the same coordinates in both databases).
map_limit	Numeric; the number of points to map per species, set at a default of 1000 randomly selected records; users can specify a higher number, but be aware that leaflet can lag or crash when too many points are plotted.
awesomeMarkers	Logical; if 'TRUE' (default), mapped points will be 'awesomeMarkers' attributed with an icon for a globe for GBIF, a leaf for BIEN, or a database if records from both databases have the same coordinates; if 'FALSE', mapped points will be leaflet 'circleMarkers'
cluster	Logical; if 'TRUE' (default is 'FALSE') turns on marker clustering, which does not preserve color differences between species

Details

When mapping using 'awesomeMarkers' (default), the parameter species_colors must match those in a specified color library, currently: c("red", "lightred", "orange", "beige", "green", "lightgreen", "blue", "lightblue", "purple", "pink", "cadetblue", "white", "gray", "lightgray"). When 'awesomeMarkers' is 'FALSE' and species_colors are not specified, random colors from the 'RColorBrewer' Set1 palette are used.

Value

A leaflet map

Examples

## Not run: 
data(myOccCiteObject)
