HSIplotter: Plots habitat suitability index curves

In MVR-GIS/nybem: NY Bight Ecological Model

Plots habitat suitability index curves

Description

Plots habitat suitability index curves for all metrics in the model.

Usage

HSIplotter(SI, xlab = NA, ylab = NA, ncol = 2)

Arguments

SI	data frame; A data frame of suitability curves ordered as parameter breakpoints and associated suitability indices for each parameter with appropriate column names.
xlab	character; A vector of x-axis label values for each SI. Defaults to SI variable name.
ylab	character; A vector of y-axis label values for each SI. Defaults to "Suitability Index".
ncol	numeric; Number of columns in the plot.

Value

A multipanel figure displaying suitability curves.

Examples

# Get barredowl HSI model record from the `ecorest`package (example of
# continuous metrics)
barredowl_ecorest <- ecorest::HSImodels$barredowl

# Create the plot
HSIplotter(barredowl_ecorest)

# Get americancoot HSI model record from the `ecorest`package (example of
# continuous and categorical metrics)
americancoot_ecorest <- ecorest::HSImodels$americancoot

# Create the plot
HSIplotter(americancoot_ecorest)
