Function to describe changes in area through time.

Description

Function to describe changes in area through time.

Usage

island_area(timeval, total_time, area_pars, peak, island_ontogeny, sea_level)

Arguments

timeval	Numeric defining current time of simulation.
total_time	Numeric defining the length of the simulation in time units.
area_pars	A named list containing area and sea level parameters as created by create_area_pars(): [1]: maximum area [2]: current area [3]: value from 0 to 1 indicating where in the island's history the peak area is achieved [4]: total island age [5]: amplitude of area fluctuation from sea level [6]: frequency of sine wave of area change from sea level [7]: angle of the slope of the island
peak	A numeric value specifying the peakiness (or shaprness) of the ontogeny curve. Higher values imply peakier ontogeny. This value is internally calculated by calc_peak() given the area at the present and the area_pars.
island_ontogeny	In DAISIE_sim_time_dep(), DAISIE_ML_CS and plotting a string describing the type of island ontogeny. Can be "const", "beta" for a beta function describing area through time. In all other functions a numeric describing the type of island ontogeny. Can be 0 for constant, 1 for a beta function describing area through time. In ML functions island_ontogeny = NA assumes constant ontogeny. Time dependent estimation is not yet available as development is still ongoing. Will return an error if called in that case.
sea_level	In DAISIE_sim_time_dep() and plotting a string describing the type of sea level. Can be "const" or "sine" for a sine function describing area through time. In all other functions a numeric describing the type of sea level. Can be 0 for constant, 1 for a sine function describing area through time.
