mapPolygon: Add a Polygon to a Map

In oce: Analysis of Oceanographic Data

Add a Polygon to a Map

Description

mapPolygon adds a polygon to an existing map.

Usage

mapPolygon(
  longitude,
  latitude,
  density = NULL,
  angle = 45,
  border = NULL,
  col = NA,
  lty = par("lty"),
  ...,
  fillOddEven = FALSE
)

Arguments

longitude	numeric vector of longitudes of points defining the polygon, to be plotted, or an object from which both longitude and latitude can be inferred (e.g. a coastline file, or the return value from mapLocator()), in which case the latitude argument are ignored.
latitude	numeric vector of latitudes of points to be plotted (ignored if both longitude and latitude can be determined from the first argument).
density, angle, border, col, lty, ..., fillOddEven	handled as polygon() handles the same arguments.

cm <- colormap(zlim=c(-5000, 0), col=oceColorsGebco)
drawPalette(colormap=cm)
