layer.SpatialLines: Writes spatial lines to KML

In Envirometrix/plotKML: Visualization of Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Objects in Google Earth

Writes spatial lines to KML

Description

Writes object of class "SpatialLines*" to KML with a possibility to parse attribute variables using several aesthetics arguments.

Usage

kml_layer.SpatialLines(obj, subfolder.name = paste(class(obj)), 
  extrude = FALSE, z.scale = 1, metadata = NULL, 
  html.table = NULL, TimeSpan.begin = "", TimeSpan.end = "", ...)

Arguments

obj	object of class "SpatialLines*"
subfolder.name	character; optional subfolder name
extrude	logical; specifies whether to connect the LinearRing to the ground
z.scale	vertical exaggeration
metadata	(optional) specify the metadata object
html.table	optional description block (html) for each GPS point (vertices)
TimeSpan.begin	(optional) beginning of the referent time period
TimeSpan.end	(optional) end of the referent time period
...	additional style arguments (see aesthetics)

Details

Only colour and width (aesthetics) are recommended when visualizing SpatialLines* objects.
TimeSpan.begin and TimeSpan.end are optional TimeStamp vectors in the format:
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:sszzzzzz
Use the same time values for both TimeSpan.begin and TimeSpan.end if the measurements refer to a single moment in time. TimeSpan.begin and TimeSpan.end can be either a single value or a vector of values.
