move.lxy(move.obj, use.utm = FALSE, xcoord = NULL, ycoord = NULL,
  proj = NULL, anv.flds = NULL, ptid = NULL, del.dup.xyt = TRUE,
  dup.dt.check = TRUE, dt.int.round.to = 0.1, tau.diff.max = 0.02,
  req.id = TRUE, warn.latlong = TRUE, status = TRUE)

Arguments

move.obj

A object of class Move or MoveStack.

use.utm

Import UTM coordinates if found and all points fall within the same UTM zone (T/F).

xcoord

The name of a field in the data table for the x-coordinates. If NULL, the default coordinates will be used.

ycoord

The name of a field in the data table for the y-coordinates. If NULL, the default coordinates will be used.

proj

Projection object of class CRS-class. Used *only* to specify the coordinate system when the coordinates being imported are coming from the data table

anv.flds

The name of field(s) in the Move object data table that will be imported as ancillary variables. Can also be 'all'.

ptid

The name of a numeric field in the Move object data table containing unique numeric values for each point. If NULL new point id values will be created.

del.dup.xyt

Whether to delete duplicate rows with the same x, y, dt, and id value (T/F).

dup.dt.check

Whether to check to make sure there are no duplicate date values for the same id.

dt.int.round.to

The proportion of the median sampling frequency that time intervals will be rounded to when computing the frequency table of sampling intervals (no change is made to the time stamps).

tau.diff.max

The maximum deviation from tau (expressed as a proportion of tau) that a point-to-point time difference must fall within for the point-to-point distance to be included in the calculation of the median step length.

req.id

Require a value for id (T/F).

warn.latlong

Show a warning message if it detects coordinates may be in latitude-longitude (T/F).

status

Show status messages (T/F).

Value

A LoCoH-xy object

Note

Move and MoveStack are formal classes from the Move package for storage of movement data for a single (Move) or multiple (MoveStack) indviduals. move.lxy will convert these objects to LoCoH-xy objects. To import the attribute data associated with each point (termed ancillary variables in T-LoCoH), set anv.flds to the names of the field(s) you wish to import (or anv.flds="all"). Note that the Move and MoveStack classes store a lot more metadata than LoCoH-xy objects, including unused records, which are not supported by the LoCoH-xy data class and are not imported.
