StratumArea: Stratum Area

In StoXProject/RstoxTempDoc: Temporary package for documenting the RstoxFramework package

Description

The StratumArea function calculates the area of all the strata in the chosen geographical strata system

Usage

StratumArea()

Arguments

parameterName

Parameter descrption.

Details

The StratumArea function calculates the area of all the strata in the chosen strata system as square nautical miles. The function uses the existing strata boundary definitions of the project (WKT multi polygon data) as input to the area calculations.

The AreaMethod parameter is used to choose which area calculation method to use. The methods are:

Accurate

This is the recommended method since it gives the most accurate area calculation. The calculation method used is Lambert azimuthal equal area projection. The methods accuracy is dependent on a reference point close to the area which is to be calculated. The midpoint of the stratum is calculated and used as reference point.

Simple

This method is deprecated as it is inaccurate and does not handle strata with holes. It has only been made available to facilitate backward compatibility to projects generated in previous versions of StoX.

Value

A data.table is returned with awesome stuff.
