addscalebar: Auto Plot Scalebar

In prettymapr: Scale Bar, North Arrow, and Pretty Margins in R

Auto Plot Scalebar

Description

Automatically determines the geographical scale of the plot and draws a labelled scalebar.

Usage

addscalebar(
  plotunit = NULL,
  plotepsg = NULL,
  widthhint = 0.25,
  unitcategory = "metric",
  htin = 0.1,
  padin = c(0.15, 0.15),
  style = "bar",
  bar.cols = c("black", "white"),
  lwd = 1,
  linecol = "black",
  tick.cex = 0.7,
  labelpadin = 0.08,
  label.cex = 0.8,
  label.col = "black",
  pos = "bottomleft"
)

Arguments

plotunit	The unit which the current plot is plotted in, one of cm, m, km, in, ft, mi. or latlon. This parameter is optional if plotepsg is passed.
plotepsg	The projection of the current plot. If extents are valid lat/lons, the projection is assumed to be lat/lon (EPSG:4326), or Spherical Mercator otherwise (EPSG:3857). This is done to work seamlessly with OpenStreetMap packages.
widthhint	The fraction of the plottable width which the scale bar should (mostly) occupy.
unitcategory	One of "metric" or "imperial"
htin	Height (in inches) of the desired scale bar
padin	A vector of length 2 determining the distance in inches between the scalebar and the edge of the plottable area.
style	One of "bar" or "ticks".
bar.cols	If style=="bar", the colors to be repeated to make the bar.
lwd	The line width to use when drawing the scalebar
linecol	The line color to use when drawing the scalebar
tick.cex	If style=="ticks", the height of interior ticks.
labelpadin	The distance between the end of the scalebar and the label (inches)
label.cex	The font size of the label
label.col	The color of the label
pos	Where to align the scalebar. One of "bottomleft", "bottomright", "topleft", or "topright".

Examples

plot(1:5, 1:5, asp=1)
addscalebar(plotunit="m")
