MapRichness: Plotting Species Richness in a Set of Polygons

In speciesgeocodeR: Prepare Species Distributions for the Use in Phylogenetic Analyses

Description

Illustrates the species number per polygon, based on and object of the class spgeoOUT (created by SpGeoCod).

Usage

MapRichness(x, areanames = NA, leg = "continuous",
            show.occ = F, lin.col = "grey", lwd = 1, ...)

Arguments

x	an object of the class ”spgeoOUT”.
areanames	a character string. If the polygons in the spgeoIN object were derived from a shape file, this column indicates the name of the column used for area names. If the polygons in the spgeoIN object were derived from a text file leave as default (Default = "").
leg	Controls the plot legend and coloring scheme. Must be either “continuous” or “discrete”, (default = continuous).
show.occ	logical. Defines if the occurrence points should be added to the plot (default = F).
lin.col	character string. Defines the colour of polygon borders (default = “grey”).
lwd	numeric. Line width of polygon lines.
...	Arguments to be passed to other methods, such as graphical parameters (see par).

Value

A plotted map.
