plot_cell_heatmap: Heatmap of probed grid cells

In windfarmGA: Genetic Algorithm for Wind Farm Layout Optimization

Heatmap of probed grid cells

Description

Count how often each grid cell appeared in an evaluated layout over all generations (allCoords in the GA result). Never-tried cells stay light gray. Useful to see whether the search covered the area or stuck to a few sites.

Usage

plot_cell_heatmap(result, area, log = TRUE, plot = TRUE)

Arguments

result	The output of genetic_algorithm
area	Site polygon (sf, SpatialPolygons, or coordinate matrix). Must be projected in metres.
log	If TRUE, color the counts on a log1p scale so a few elite cells do not dominate the palette. Default is TRUE
plot	Deprecated alias for plot.

Value

A data.frame with grid ID, coordinates and visit count (n_probed), returned invisibly.
