wcvp_distribution_map: Plot distribution maps for species, genera or families

In rWCVP: Generating Summaries, Reports and Plots from the World Checklist of Vascular Plants

Plot distribution maps for species, genera or families

Description

Plot distribution maps for species, genera or families

Usage

wcvp_distribution_map(
  range,
  crop_map = FALSE,
  native = TRUE,
  introduced = TRUE,
  extinct = TRUE,
  location_doubtful = TRUE
)

Arguments

range	Simple features (sf) data frame of the type output by wcvp_distribution().
crop_map	Logical. Crop map extent to distribution? Defaults to FALSE.
native	Logical. Include native range? Defaults to TRUE.
introduced	Logical. Include introduced range? Defaults to TRUE.
extinct	Logical. Include extinct range? Defaults to TRUE.
location_doubtful	Logical. Include occurrences that are thought to be doubtful? Defaults to TRUE.

Details

The colour scheme mirrors that used by Plants of the World (POWO; https://powo.science.kew.org/), where green is native, purple is introduced, red is extinct and orange is doubtful. See Examples for how to use custom colours.

Value

A ggplot2::ggplot of the distribution.

Examples

 # these examples require 'rWCVPdata'
if(requireNamespace("rWCVPdata")){
p <- wcvp_distribution_map(wcvp_distribution("Callitris", taxon_rank = "genus"))
p
# now only the native range, and cropped to range extent
p <- wcvp_distribution_map(wcvp_distribution("Callitris", taxon_rank = "genus"),
  introduced = FALSE, crop_map = TRUE
)
p
# now with different colours
# note that this taxon only has native and introduced occurrences, so only two colours are needed
p <- wcvp_distribution_map(wcvp_distribution("Callitris", taxon_rank = "genus"))
p +
  # for polygons
  ggplot2::scale_fill_manual(values = c("red", "blue")) +
  # for points (islands)
  ggplot2::scale_colour_manual(values = c("red", "blue"))
  }
