climapalette: Climatic Colour Codes for Vegetation Types

In jarioksa/biogeo: Tools for Biogeography Lectures

Description

Function finds RGB colour codes for vegetation types using three variables. Choosing climatic variables matching the parameter names gives maximum values to equatorial rainforest with abundant rains, equitable non-continental temperature and high temperature.

Usage

climapalette(type, humidity, continentality, temperature)

Arguments

type	Community type.
humidity, continentality, temperature	Environmental variables used for red, green and blue in colours.

Value

RGB colours for classes plus attributes that give the order of classes in each colour (rorder, gorder, border). The attributes help in making nicely ordered legends.
