plot_map: plot_map

In sankeydan/collEcol: A Package for Collective Animal Spatial Data Plots and Analysis

Description

A handy and interactive plotter for solo or group GPS tracks. Uses ggmaps to produce images or videos of animal trajectories on a googlemaps background.

Usage

plot_map(data, type = c("solo", "group"), image.or.vid = "image",
  tail.size = 20, frame.size = 1, wd = getwd(), plot_name = "my_plot",
  lines.or.points = "lines", col = "red", axis.nums.size = 12,
  axis.labs.size = 14, n.indiv = NULL, lwd = 2, file.to.folder = T,
  centre = NA, maptype = "satellite", zoom = 19)

Arguments

data	data frame or list of data frames with 2 dimensions: longitude & latitude (in that order; columns) For group plots, ensure data frames in the list have the same number of rows
type	Solo or Group plots.
image.or.vid	"image" or "video" (sequence of images) to be produced
tail.size	animals represented by current position and the previous n positions (video only)
frame.size	plot every row of data, or every 1/frame size for shorter running speeds and output files (video only)
wd	Specify the working directory that you would like to save the plots into.
lines.or.points	On the plotted map, animal trajectory represented by either "lines" or "points"
col	Colour of plotted trajectory (solo only)
n.indiv	Number of individuals. Only use in group context.
lwd	Thickness of line
file.to.folder	TRUE if you want to make videos when happy with other params, but for testing videos set to FALSE
centre	Choose your own centre points for the mapform: c(lon, lat)
maptype	"satellite" is default, though check ?get_map in the ggmap package for more options
zoom	zoom = 19 is good for video. Other plot types are worth playing around with, try 13 for approx 5 km square
