Examples

# VME-associated seamounts
# Seamount submmits between 200 and 2500 m water depth
library(plotKML)
seamount@data$Summit <- seamount@data$Height+seamount@data$Depth
plotKML(subset(seamount, Summit>=-2500 & Summit<=-200)[, "Summit"],
        folder.name="seamount", colour_scale = jet.colors(100), raster_name="seamount.png")
