In laurasoul/dispeRse: Models For Paleobiogeography

Description

Given a set of continent centres and their radius plots them on a Mercator projection

Usage

MapContinents(
  continent_centres,
  radius,
  xlim = c(-180, 180),
  ylim = c(-90, 90),
  resolution = 1000,
  sea_colour = "blue",
  land_colour = "green",
  ...
)

Arguments

continent_centres	A two-column matrix of decimalised longitudes (first column) and latitudes (second column).
radius	A single radius value for each continent in kilometres.
xlim	A single radius value for each continent in kilometres.
ylim	A single radius value for each continent in kilometres.
resolution	The number of points to use to plot each continent.
sea_colour	The colour value to use to plot the sea.
land_colour	The colour value used to plot the land.
...	Other arguments to be passed to plot.
