Maps for the Kitimat Fjord System

Description

Mapping functions in the Kitimat Fjord System tailored to research needs of the Bangarang, Gitga'at, and NCCS teams.

Usage

plotKFS(
  area = "Study Area",
  X = c(-129.68, -128.85),
  Y = c(52.8, 53.55),
  mar = c(4.2, 3, 0.2, 0.2),
  mai = c(0.75, 0.75, 0.1, 0.1),
  land.col = "light gray",
  shore.border = "dark gray",
  shore.lwd = 1,
  tankers = FALSE,
  tankers.width = 5,
  tankers.col = "tan1",
  places = FALSE,
  places.scale = 1,
  stat = FALSE,
  stat.col = "black",
  stat.scale = 1,
  tracks = FALSE,
  track.col = "black",
  blocking = NULL,
  block.col = "black",
  block.lwd = 1,
  block.lab.scale = FALSE
)

Arguments

`area`	Map range. Default is "Study Area" of the Bangarang project. Other range options: "Caamano" "Estevan" "Campania" "Squally" "S. Squally" (Dougan to McDonald) "N. Squally" (McDonald to Union) "Whale" "Wright" "McKay" (includes S. Ursula up to Bishop) "Verney" (includes N. Ursula down to Bishop) "Gil Basin" (the channels surrounding Gil Island) "Gribbell Island" (the channels surround Gribbell) "Other" (custom range, entered using `X` and `Y` inputs)
`X`	Custom longitude range (e.g., `c(-129.68,-128.85)`). Only applies when "Other" is entered as area.
`Y`	Custom latitude range (e.g., `c(52.9,53.3)`). Only applies when "Other" is entered as area.
`mar`	Plot margins, passed to `par`.
`mai`	Margin size specific in inches, passted to `par`.
`land.col`	Land color.
`shore.border`	Color of shoreline border.
`shore.lwd`	Shoreline border thickness.
`tankers`	If `TRUE` (not default), proposed tanker route is displayed.
`tankers.width`	Tanker track line width.
`tankers.col`	Tanker track color
`places`	If `TRUE` (not default), research locations are labeled: Hartley Bay, Whale Point, GW Camp, and the Wall.
`places.scale`	Text size of place labels.
`stat`	If `TRUE` (not default), shows grid of 24 Bangarang stations.
`stat.col`	Station color.
`stat.scale`	Size of station dots.
`tracks`	If `TRUE` (not default), shows Bangarang survey tracklines.
`track.col`	Trackline color.
`blocking`	Controls which block stratification, if any, to show. Default is nothing. If `"mini"`, shows a 54-block scheme. `"minirect"` shows the rectangles used to partition the study area into those blocks. `"sub"` shows a 24-block scheme, the scheme used in the HW-Wave study. `"channel"` shows an 8-block scheme. `"province"` combines those 8 channels into 4 large provinces: offshore, central outer, central inner, and inland.
`block.col`	Color of blocking borders.
`block.lwd`	Blocking border width.
`block.lab.scale`	Default is `FALSE`. If a number, it prints labels within the blocks (only for "mini" and "minirect"), scaled to the number given.

Value

Generates map.
