Gather all data for a project and add unique design panel information

Description

GatherData will compile all data for a project over its history, add transect panel information (if available), and a unique transect identifier

Usage

GatherData(
  area = "none",
  drive = "K:",
  output.folder = "none",
  method = "repo"
)

Arguments

area	The abbreviation for the project.
drive	The drive letter referring to the location of the Waterfowl directory (for example, "K:" or "Q:").
output.folder	The folder for 3 output files: flight.csv, obs.csv, and transect.csv, defaults to the working directory.

Details

GatherData is designed to compile all data over a range of years for a project with a given design transect layer and design stratification. It will add a series of columns to the resulting data that are used to derive the unique identifier for a transect that may have also occurred in other years (for a panel design).

Value

None, but 3 output files are written to the output.folder or working directory.
