Plot area definitions on a map

Description

Plots area polygons on a map, may plot a set of positions as well.

Usage

plotArea(
  data = NULL,
  latCol = NULL,
  lonCol = NULL,
  groupCol = NULL,
  areaDef = NULL,
  areaNameCol = "StratumName",
  areaLabels = is.null(data),
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  areaLabelSize = 2,
  pointColor = "darkred",
  pointShape = 23,
  pointSize = 1,
  title = "",
  projection = NULL,
  polygonColor = "blue"
)

Arguments

data	data.frame with any points to be plotted
latCol	character() identifing column in 'data' that specify latitudes (WGS84)
lonCol	character() identifing column in 'data' that specify longitudes (WGS84)
groupCol	character() identifying column in 'daat' that specify grouping of points
areaDef	SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
areaNameCol	identifies column in 'areaDef' with label names for the areas
areaLabels	logical whether to plot area labels
xlim	x axis limits in degrees longitude
ylim	y axis limits in degrees latitude
areaLabelSize	size for any area labels
pointColor	color of any points to be plotted.
pointShape	ggplot2 shape for any points to be plotted
pointSize	size for any points to be plotted
title	plot title
projection	proj4string or EPSG code specifying the desired projection, see st_crs. Defaults to mercator projection.
polygonColor	color to be used for plotting polygons.

Details

Map ranges to plot are specified by 'xlim' and 'ylim'. These should always be given in lon/lat. if these are not given they will be derived in order to include all positions in 'data'. if 'data is not given they will be derived from the bounding box of 'areaDef'. To allow for flexible projection, some space will be added around 'xlim' and 'ylim'.

Both 'areaDef' and 'data' are optional, so the function may be used to plot position without an area defintion, or even to just plot maps if xlim and ylim are provided.

Colors can be specified as understood by ggplot2. E.g. one of those listed by colors.

Examples

 # plot ICES areas with default projection
 data(ICESareas)
 plotArea(areaDef=ICESareas)

 data(mainareaFdir2018)
 data(NAFOareas)
 # plot mainarea and NAFO areas combined in a Lambert Conformal Conic projection.
 plotArea(title="Main area + NAFO",
          areaDef=rbind(mainareaFdir2018[,c("StratumName")],
                  NAFOareas[,c("StratumName")]),
          projection="+proj=lcc +lat_1=43 +lat_2=62 +lat_0=30 
          +lon_0=10 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=intl +units=m +no_defs")
