`SOOS_WG_data`	A data frame. The data frame must contain the columns named "Acronym" (for the WG) and "Countries.Represented". See "example_WG_data" for an example. Needed for plot_type "WG" and "geocode". MUST have the same ordered rows as "category_data" !!
`outdir`	The directory where you would like .png files saved
`category_data`	This data frame must contain 3 columns labeled "Acronym" (for the WG or plotname), "Countries" (A list of SOOS named countries separated by a ";") and "Categories" (a list of assigned categories for each SOOS country). See example file for details. Note the categories should be ordered from low-high and can be numbers or a caracter vector corresponding to names in the "Categories" column. The highest ranking category will be decide the country fill. Can also be SOOS_WG_data
`country_names_data`	A data frame. The data frame must contain 2 columns labeled "Country" (what SOOS records the country as) and "ISO3_name". See "example_country_data" for an example.
`plot_type`	Is the baseplot a WG plot (plot_type = "WG"), a geocode plot (plot_type = "geocode"), or are there no markers (plot_type = "category_only")?
`category_colours`	The category colours, in order from lowest to highests category.
`category_values`	A vector containing ordered (low-high) category values if they are not numbered (Leave blank if numbered, starting from 1)
`plot_legend`	Plot a legend for categories?
`category_names`	The names you want to appear on the plot legend.
`category_legend`	The legend title.
`institution_names_data`	A data frame. The data frame must contain 4 columns labeled "Name" (what SOOS records the Affiliations as), "Type", "Latitude" and "Longitude". SSee example_institution_data for an example.
