plot3DTraj: 3D plot of animal trajectory

In ndow-wisr/wildlife_tools: R Package For NDOW

Description

3D plot of animal trajectory

Usage

plot3DTraj(x, y, z, colval)

Arguments

x	The x geographic coordinate to plot
y	The y geographic coordinate to plot
z	The z value for the z axis
colval	The value you want to plot as points along the trajectory

Value

A 3D plot of the the animal trajectory. Each point is connected by a line. The color of the points is value of the colval argument. Purple is for low values, Yellow is for high levels.

Note

A good use for the 3D plot is to construct a spacetime cube. In a spacetime cube the z-axis is the timestamp of the points. There is potential to visualize seasonal use and revisitation rates. It is useful to set the colval argument equal to the timestamp as well to generate a color ramp for the timestamp. The Purple will be for the first XY locations, Yellow for the last.
