rmap_add_bio: Add non-spatial tables to a rangeMapper project

In rangeMapper: A Platform for the Study of Macro-Ecology of Life History Traits

Add non-spatial tables to a rangeMapper project

Description

Add any dataset to the project. The dataset is saved in a separate table inside the project and labelled as a bio table.

Usage

rmap_add_bio(con, x, ID, name)

## S4 method for signature 'rmapConnection,data.table,character,character'
rmap_add_bio(con, x, ID, name)

## S4 method for signature 'rmapConnection,ANY,character,missing'
rmap_add_bio(con, x, ID, name)

## S4 method for signature 'rmapConnection,data.frame,character,character'
rmap_add_bio(con, x, ID, name)

## S4 method for signature 'rmapConnection,sf,character,character'
rmap_add_bio(con, x, ID, name)

Arguments

con	a rangeMapper connection made with rmap_connect() .
x	an object inheriting from base::data.frame().
ID	character string. name of the ID column, usually species name.
name	output table name. If name is missing then name is the same as x.

Details

The bio tables contain the data which is then mapped with rmap_save_map() at each canvas cell and/or data used to create subsets with rmap_save_subset(). If the bio table inherits from sf then the geometry is silently dropped and only the non-spatial data are imported.

Value

TRUE when the table is written to the project file, FALSE otherwise.

Examples

con = rmap_connect()
wrens = read_wrens()
rmap_add_ranges(con, wrens, 'sci_name')
rmap_add_bio(con, wrens, 'sci_name')
dbDisconnect(con)
