mapAxis: Add Axis Labels to an Existing Map

Description

Plot axis labels on an existing map.

Usage

mapAxis(side = 1:2, longitude = NULL, latitude = NULL, tick = TRUE,
  line = NA, pos = NA, outer = FALSE, font = NA, lty = "solid",
  lwd = 1, lwd.ticks = lwd, col = NULL, col.ticks = NULL,
  hadj = NA, padj = NA, tcl = -0.3, cex.axis = 1, mgp = c(0, 0.5,
  0), debug = getOption("oceDebug"))

Arguments

side

the side at which labels are to be drawn. If not provided, sides 1 and 2 will be used (i.e. bottom and left-hand sides).

longitude

vector of longitudes to indicate. If not provided, and if a grid has already been drawn, then the labels will be at the intersections of the grid lines with the plotting box.

latitude

vector of latitudes to indicate. If not provided, and if a grid has already been drawn, then the labels will be at the interesections of the grid lines with the plotting box.

tick

parameter passed to axis.

line

parameter passed to axis.

pos

parameter passed to axis.

outer

parameter passed to axis.

font

axis font, passed to axis.

lty

axis line type, passed to axis.

lwd

axis line width, passed to axis).

lwd.ticks

tick line width, passed to axis.

col

axis color, passed to axis.

col.ticks

axis tick color, passed to axis.

hadj

an argument that is transmitted to axis.

padj

an argument that is transmitted to axis.

tcl

axis-tick size (see par).

cex.axis

axis-label expansion factor (see par).

mgp

three-element numerical vector describing axis-label placement (see par). It usually makes sense to set the first and third elements to zero.

debug

a flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate amount of debugging information, or to 2 to get more.

Details

This function is still in development, and the argument list as well as the action taken are both subject to change, hence the brevity of this help page.

Note that if a grid line crosses the axis twice, only one label will be drawn.

A map must first have been created with mapPlot.
