Arguments

filen

name of file with *.shp extension

x, y

as with plot.default, these provide the x and y coordinates for the point labels. Any reasonable way of defining the coordinates is acceptable. See the function xy.coords for details.

labels

as with text, a character vector or expression specifying the text to be written. An attempt is made to coerce other language objects (names and calls) to expressions, and vectors and other classed objects to character vectors by as.character.

cex

numeric character expansion factor as with text.

method

the optimization method, either “SANN” for simulated annealing (the default) or “GA” for a genetic algorithm.

allowSmallOverlap

logical; if TRUE, labels are allowed a small overlap. The overlap allowed is 2% of the diagonal distance of the plot area.

trace

logical; if TRUE, status updates are given as the optimization algorithms progress.

doPlot

logical; if TRUE, the labels are plotted on the existing graph with text.

fn

shapefile layer name, when writing omitting the extensions *.shp, *.shx and *.dbf, which are added in the function

proj4string

Object of class CRS; holding a valid proj4 string

verbose

default FALSE - report type of shapefile and number of shapes

repair

default FALSE: some shapefiles provided by Geolytics Inc. have values of object sizes stored in the *.shx index file that are eight bytes too large, leading the function to try to read past the end of file. If repair=TRUE, an attempt is made to repair the internal values, permitting such files to be read.

delete_null_obj

if TRUE, null geometries will be removed together with their data.frame rows

factor2char

logical, default TRUE, convert factor columns to character

max_nchar

default 254, may be set to a higher limit and passed through to the DBF writer, please see Details in write.dbf

IDvar

a character string: the name of a column in the shapefile DBF containing the ID values of the shapes - the values will be converted to a character vector (Polygons only)

force_ring

if TRUE, close unclosed input rings (Polygons only)

retrieve_ABS_null

default FALSE, if TRUE and delete_null_obj also TRUE, the function will return a data frame containing the data from any null geometries inserted by ABS (Polygons only)

object

A SpatialPoints object.

col, alpha, lineheight, font, fontfamily, fontface, fill

Graphical arguments. See gpar for details

line

a list of Lines.

label, text

a string or expression to be printed following the path of line. The names of labels should match the values of the ID slot of the lines to label. If labels is missing, the ID slot is used instead. The label method is a wrapper function to extract the ID slots and create a suitable character object with the correct names values.

byid

If TRUE (default) only the longest line of each unique ID value will be labelled.

textloc

a character or a numeric. It may be 'constantSlope', 'minSlope' or 'maxDepth', or the numeric index of the location. If it is a numeric, its length must coincide with the number of Lines.

spar

smoothing parameter. With values near zero, the label will closely follow the line. Default value is .6. See smooth.spline for details.

position

character string ('above' or 'below') to define where the text must be placed.

lty, lwd, col.line

graphical parameters for the line. See gpar for details.

identifier

A character string to identify the grob to be created.

...

other arguments:

bb

if NULL, uses bounding box of object, otherwise the given bounding box

shift

values to shift the coordinates of the input object; this is made ineffective by the scale argument

reflect

reverse coordinate axes

scale

if NULL, coordinates not scaled; if TRUE, the longer dimension is scaled to lie within [0,1] and aspect maintained; if a scalar, the output range of [0,1] is multiplied by scale

flip

translate coordinates on the main diagonal

rotate

default 0, rotate angle degrees clockwise around center

center

default NULL, if not NULL, the rotation center, numeric of length two

unitsq

logical, default FALSE, if TRUE and scale TRUE, impose unit square bounding box (currently only points)

crds

a SpatialPoints or matrix object, containing x and y coordinates (in that order).

dateTime

a POSIXct object with the date and time associated to calculate ephemerides for points given in crds.

solarDep

numeric vector with the angle of the sun below the horizon in degrees.

direction

one of "dawn", "dusk", "sunrise", or "sunset", indicating which ephemerides should be calculated.

POSIXct.out

logical indicating whether POSIXct output should be included.

obj

a Spatial* object

asp

if NA, will be set to the latitude corrected value

maxPixels

the maximum dimension of the output PNG

maxDim

the maximum dimension of the output grid; ignored if n not NULL

n

if not NULL, the minimum number of cells in the returned grid

ignoreAltitude

if set to TRUE the altitude values of a KML points will be ignored

kmlfile

if not NULL the name as character string of the kml file to be written

name

the name of the KML line

description

the description of the KML line (HTML tags allowed)

visibility

if set to 1 or TRUE specifies that the KML line should be visible after loading

kmlname

the name of the KML layer

kmldescription

the description of the KML layer (HTML tags allowed)

imagefile

the name of the PNG file containing the image - this should be either relative (same directory as kml file) or abosolute (fully qualified)

icon

a character vector of icon URLs to be used in the style associated with each KML Placemark

border

the stroke color (see also Color Specification) for the KML polygon
