get_silhouettes: Get silhouettes

In neurogenomics/orthogene: Interspecies gene mapping

Get silhouettes

Description

Get silhouette images of each species from phylopic.

Usage

get_silhouettes(
  species,
  which = rep(1, length(species)),
  run_format_species = TRUE,
  include_image_data = FALSE,
  mc.cores = 1,
  add_png = FALSE,
  remove_bg = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

species	A character vector of species names to query phylopic for.
which	An integer vector of the same length as species. Lets you choose which image you want to use for each species (1st, 2nd 3rd, etc.).
run_format_species	Standardise species names with format_species before querying phylopic (default: TRUE).
include_image_data	Include the image data itself (not just the image UID) in the results.
mc.cores	Accelerate multiple species queries by parallelising across multiple cores.
add_png	Return URLs for both the SVG and PNG versions of the image.
remove_bg	Remove image background.
verbose	Print messages.

Value

data.frame with:

• input_species : Species name (input).

• species : Species name (standardised).

• uid : Species UID.

• url : Image URL.
