KML: Write KML Files to Disk

In vegsoup: Classes and Methods for Phytosociology

Description

A simple utility function for visualization of plots in google earth.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'Vegsoup'
KML(x, filename, add.label, thumbnail.url.path, website.url.path, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'VegsoupPartition'
KML(x, filename, add.label, thumbnail.url.path, website.url.path, ...)

Arguments

x	'Vegsoup' or 'VegsoupPartition' object.
filename	path to a file, can be missing.
add.label	Show labels of push-pins in KML.
thumbnail.url.path	A URL that serves a key photo graph of the plot. See ‘Examples’.
website.url.path	A URL that serves a photo gallery for a plot. See ‘Examples’.
...	Not used at the moment.

Details

The method defined for Vegsoup creates pushpins that when clicked show a bubble with a species list for a respective plot and if 'thumbnail.url.path' is accessible an additional key photo graph at the bottom of the bubble. The function creates a hyper link for that photo directing to a web photo gallery ('website.url.path').

For "VegsoupPartition" objects a KML file structured in folder is created. Each folder contains all plots in a respective partition.
