pbdb_map: pbdb_map

In paleobioDB: Download and Process Data from the Paleobiology Database

Description

Maps the fossil records

Usage

pbdb_map (data, col.int="white" ,pch=19, col.ocean="black", main=NULL,
col.point=c("light blue","blue"), ...)

Arguments

data	Input dataframe. This dataframe is the output of pbdb_occurrences function using the argument: show = "coords". See too: Details and Examples
col.int	The colour of the mainland.
pch	See: par
col.ocean	The colour of the ocean.
main	To set the title of the map. See: par
col.point	Two or more colours. To generate the colour gradient used to show the number of occurrences per cell in map
...	Others parameters. See par and map

Details

The function opens a new window for the map

CAUTION! The argument show = "coords" in pbdb_occurrences function is required. We recommend the use of a cairo device (X11) for better visualization of the graphs. See Examples

Value

A map showing the distribution of the fossil records, with the points with a color gradient, according to the number of occurrences per cell.
