#' Extract Something From a GPS Object
#'
#' @param x a [gps-class] object.
#'
#' @section Details of the Specialized Method:
#'
#' * If `i` is `"?"`, then the return value is a list
#' containing four items, each of which is a character vector
#' holding the names of things that can be accessed with `[[`.
#' The `data` and `metadata` items hold the names of
#' entries in the object's data and metadata
#' slots, respectively. The `dataDerived`
#' and `metadataDerived` items are each NULL, because
#' no derived values are defined by `gps` objects.
#'
#' * If `i` is `"longitude"` or `"latitude"`, then the corresponding
#' vector is returned.
#'
#' * If `i` is `"filename"` then a filename is returned, if
#' known (i.e. if the object was created with [read.gps()] or
#' with [as.gps()] with the `filename` argument specified).

#' Plot a gps Object
#'
#' This function plots a gps object.  An attempt is made to use the whole space
#' of the plot, and this is done by limiting either the longitude range or the
#' latitude range, as appropriate, by modifying the eastern or northern limit,
#' as appropriate.
#' To get an inset map inside another map, draw the first map, do
#' `par(new=TRUE)`, and then call `plot.gps` with a value of
#' `mar` that moves the inset plot to a desired location on the existing
#' plot, and with `bg="white"`.
#'
#' @param x a [gps-class] object.
#'
#' @param xlab label for x axis
#'
#' @param ylab label for y axis
#'
#' @param asp Aspect ratio for plot.  The default is for `plot.gps` to set
#' the aspect ratio to give natural latitude-longitude scaling somewhere near
#' the centre latitude on the plot. Often, it makes sense to set `asp`
#' yourself, e.g. to get correct shapes at 45N, use
#' `asp=1/cos(45*pi/180)`.  Note that the land mass is not symmetric about
#' the equator, so to get good world views you should set `asp=1` or set
#' `ylim` to be symmetric about zero. Any given value of `asp` is
#' ignored, if `clongitude` and `clatitude` are given.
#'
#' @param clongitude,clatitude optional center latitude of map, in decimal
#' degrees.  If both `clongitude` and `clatitude` are provided, then
#' any provided value of `asp` is ignored, and instead the plot aspect
#' ratio is computed based on the center latitude.  If `clongitude` and
#' `clatitude` are provided, then `span` must also be provided.
#'
#' @param span optional suggested span of plot, in kilometers.  The suggestion
#' is an upper limit on the scale; depending on the aspect ratio of the
#' plotting device, the radius may be smaller than `span`.  A value for
#' `span` must be supplied, if `clongitude` and `clatitude` are
#' supplied.
#'
#' @param projection optional map projection to use (see
#' [mapPlot()]); if not given, a cartesian frame is used, scaled so
#' that gps shapes near the centre of the plot are preserved.  If a projection
#' is provided, the coordinate system will bear an indirect relationship to
#' longitude and longitude, and further adornment of the plot must be done with
#' e.g.  [mapPoints()] instead of [points()].
#'
# These archaic arguments have not worked for a long time, if ever.
# A pkg::build_site() run on April 1, 2020 flagged them as
# problematic, so they were removed then.  (In plot,ctd-method,
# these were deprecated in 2016.)
# @param parameters optional parameters to map projection (see
# [mapPlot()] for details).
#
# @param orientation optional orientation of map projection (see
# [mapPlot()] for details).
#'
#' @param expand numerical factor for the expansion of plot limits, showing
#' area outside the plot, e.g. if showing a ship track as a gps, and then an
#' actual gps to show the ocean boundary.  The value of `expand` is
#' ignored if either `xlim` or `ylim` is given.
#'
#' @param mgp 3-element numerical vector to use for `par(mgp)`, and also
#' for `par(mar)`, computed from this.  The default is tighter than the R
#' default, in order to use more space for the data and less for the axes.
#'
#' @param mar value to be used with [`par`]`("mar")`.
#'
#' @param bg optional color to be used for the background of the map.  This
#' comes in handy for drawing insets (see \dQuote{details}).
#'
#' @param axes boolean, set to `TRUE` to plot axes.
#'
#' @param cex.axis value for axis font size factor.
#'
#' @param add boolean, set to `TRUE` to draw the gps on an existing plot.
#' Note that this retains the aspect ratio of that existing plot, so it is
#' important to set that correctly, e.g. with `asp=1/cos(lat * pi / 180)`,
#' where `clat` is the central latitude of the plot.
#'
#' @param inset set to `TRUE` for use within [plotInset()].  The
#' effect is to prevent the present function from adjusting margins, which is
#' necessary because margin adjustment is the basis for the method used by
#' [plotInset()].
#'
#' @param geographical flag indicating the style of axes.  If
#' `geographical=0`, the axes are conventional, with decimal degrees as
#' the unit, and negative signs indicating the southern and western
#' hemispheres.  If `geographical=1`, the signs are dropped, with axis
#' values being in decreasing order within the southern and western
#' hemispheres.  If `geographical=2`, the signs are dropped and the axes
#' are labelled with degrees, minutes and seconds, as appropriate.
#'
#' @param debug set to `TRUE` to get debugging information during
#' processing.
#'
#' @param \dots optional arguments passed to plotting functions.  For example,
#' set `yaxp=c(-90,90,4)` for a plot extending from pole to pole.

#' Coerce data into a GPS dataset
#'
#' Coerces a sequence of longitudes and latitudes into a GPS dataset.
#' This may be used when [read.gps()] cannot read a file, or when the
#' data have been manipulated.

#' @param longitude the longitude in decimal degrees, positive east of
#' Greenwich, or a data frame with columns named `latitude` and
#' `longitude`, in which case these values are extracted from the data
#' frame and the second argument is ignored.

#' Equator.
#'
#' @param filename name of file containing data (if applicable).
