canopy.profile: Mangrove Canopy Profile for Point-Centered Quarter Method

In gshideler/mangroveStructure: tools for calculating mangrove forest structure

Description

This function allows you to plot the canopy profile for mangrove forest transects from pcqm data.

Usage

canopy.profile(x, samplingpoint = "samplingpoint", height = "height",
  interval10 = TRUE, interval = "interval", ymax = NULL, xmax = NULL)

Arguments

samplingpoint	Column name for sampling points (numerical). Default name is "samplingpoint". First sampling point must be 1.
height	Column name for height. Default name is "height". Values must be in meters.
interval10	Logical argument for distance between PCQM sampling points. If interval10=TRUE (Default), the canopy plot assumes equidistant 10-meter spacing between all sampling points. If interval10=FALSE, a unique column must exist in the dataframe with distance from the previous sampling point.
interval	Column name for the distances between sampling points (required if interval10=FALSE). Default name is "interval". The first row (samplingpoint 1) must be a value of 0. Each successive sampling point number represents the distance from the previous sampling point, NOT the additive distance from sampling point 1.
ymax	Optional argument for specifying the maximum extent of the y axis. If not specified (Default), ymax is estimated based on dataframe values.
xmax	Optional argument for specifying the maximum extent of the x axis. If not specified (Default), xmax is estimated based on dataframe values.

Examples

canopy.profile(mangrove_data)
canopy.profile(mangrove_data, ymax = 50, samplingpoint = "Sampling_Point", interval10=FALSE)
