mland_plot: Plots landscapes from 'MultiLand' objects

In phuais/multilandR: multilandr: Landscape Analysis at Multiple Spatial Scales

Plots landscapes from 'MultiLand' objects

Description

Returns multiple plots for each landscape generated from each point and buffer, with their radii and classes, defined by the user through a 'MultiLand' object (generated by mland()). Aesthetic parameters of plots can be customized.

Usage

mland_plot(
  x,
  raster = NULL,
  points = NULL,
  radii = NULL,
  ext_raster = NULL,
  title = "id",
  ncol = NULL,
  nrow = NULL,
  st_points = list(shape = 21, size = 2, col = "black", fill = "white", alpha = 1),
  st_buffers = list(lty = 1, lwd = 1, col = "black", alpha = 0.6),
  st_classes = list(palette = "Spectral", fill = NULL, alpha = NULL, na_value =
    c("white", 1)),
  st_ext = c("chartreuse", "firebrick1")
)

Arguments

x	An object of class 'MultiLand' generated with mland().
raster, ext_raster	Numeric. The rasterlayer to be plotted. Only one rasterlayer can be plotted at the same time, either defined in raster or ext_raster.
points	Numeric or character vector of points to be plotted. See Details.
radii	Numeric vector of radii to be plotted.
title	One of the following: "id" to plot titles as each point id (default), or "sitename" to plot titles as each pre-defined point name in x. See Details.
ncol, nrow	Number of columns and rows wherein individual plots will be arranged.
st_points	List of aesthetic arguments for points plotting: shape for points shape, size for points size, col for points border color, fill for points fill color and alpha for point transparency.
st_buffers	List of aesthetic arguments for buffers plotting: lty for buffers linetype, lwd for buffers linewidth, col for buffers border color and alpha for border transparency.
st_classes	List of aesthetic arguments for classes plotting: palette, for classes color palette, fill a vector of fill colors for classes, alpha, a vector of alpha values for classes, and na_value for the color of NA values. See Details.
st_ext	Character vector of length 2, depicting the color for the minimum and maximum values of the raster defined in ext_raster.

Details

If argument points is a character vector, mland_plot() will assume that the 'MultiLand' object inputted in argument x was created with site_ref = TRUE. This is, there is a column/attribute in points layer data with the names for each distinct point. Therefore, the inputted values in argument points will be taken as these identification names. Otherwise, if a numeric vector is inputted, these values will be taken as the automatically generated point ids (created when running mland()).

If title = "sitename", the title of individual plots will be the names of each point. For this, the names of the points in x must had been defined when the object was created with mland() (i.e. x@site_ref = TRUE). Otherwise, the argument will be ignored and the titles will be the ids of the points.

A pre-defined palette can be chosen to differentiate classes inside palette = "palette_name", inside the list defined in st_classes. Any palette from hcl.pals() can be chosen. Otherwise, the user can define specific colors for each class, inside fill. This must be a vector built with concatenated pair of values, the first value being the class (or class name, if defined during x generation), and the second value the color (either the name of the color or the hex code of the color). For example, in the case the rasterlayer has four unique values: (1, 2, 3 and 4), a plausible color definition could be the following:

 list(c(1, "green", 2, "red", 3, "black", 4, "yellow"))

Value

Multiple plots (in a unique plotting device) of landscapes around defined points, radii and classes of a MultiLand object.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Loads a 'MultiLand' object
ernesdesign <- system.file("extdata", "ernesdesign.zip", package = "multilandr")
ernesdesign <- load_mland(ernesdesign)

# Plots all points and radii
mland_plot(ernesdesign)

# Plots points 1 to 3 and only radius 3000 m
mland_plot(ernesdesign, points = 1:3, radii = 3000)

# Plot with pre-defined colors, and specifying other arguments
cols <- c(1, "forestgreen",
          2, "darkolivegreen2",
          3, "firebrick3",
          4, "goldenrod1",
          5, "deepskyblue3",
          6, "black")

mland_plot(ernesdesign, points = 9:11, radii = c(1000, 2000, 3000),
           title = "sitename", nrow = 1,
           st_points = list(shape = 9),
           st_buffers = list(lty = "dashed"),
           st_classes = list(fill = cols))

# Plot a unique landscape by calling it with its name
mland_plot(ernesdesign, points = "Peje", title = "sitename",
           st_points = list(shape = 15, col = "red"),
           st_classes = list(palette = "Hawaii"))

# Plot extra rasterlaer
mland_plot(ernesdesign, radii = 3000, ext_raster = 1, title = "sitename")

# Plot extra rasterlater with customized colors
mland_plot(ernesdesign, radii = 3000, ext_raster = 1, title = "sitename",
           st_ext = c("blue", "red"))

## End(Not run)
