Arguments

limits

Vector of (lowXLim,highXlim,lowYLim,highYLim) probably from makeHexs or passed in from hexPlot

outFile

File location to output GMT postscript to

width

Width of output figure in inches

dataFile

File location of hex color and lat/lon data previously generated by makeHexs

gmtDir

System directory for calling GMT functions (e.g. if pscoast is in /home/bin/ and /home/bin/ isn't in path then gmtDir="/home/bin/")

scale

If TRUE make a scale based on files output by makeTicks (called in makeHexs)

contourFile

If not NULL, run pscontour at contourDepth meters based on this GMT elevation file

contourDepth

Depth to draw contour in meters

extraCmd

If not NULL, vector of system commands to run after other GMT commands and before scale (e.g. extra labels with pstext)

landMaskCmd

If not NULL, vector of system commands to run prior to final psCoast (e.g. polygons overlaid by coast)

landMask

If TRUE, hexs overlapping land are covered by land else hexs overlap land and only the land border is plotted over them

ps2eps

If TRUE, after all other commands calls the program ps2eps to convert .ps to .eps (Make sure you have ps2eps installed and in path if you use this)

scaleLabel

Label for scale if scale is TRUE

contourPen

A string or vector of strings specifying pen attributes for grd contour to trace the contour file

concatenate

Add output to existing file?

xpos

Shift plot origin right xpos inches

ypos

Shift plot origin up ypos inches

posOptions

Options for position (e.g. -O)

gmtsetOptions

Options for gmtset

annotateBorders

A string like "WSen" specifying which borders to annotate as in psbasemap

borderColor

color for border of hexes

pscoastOptions

command line options for pscoast

Value

Invisible NULL
