SpaDES (version 1.3.1)

.spadesPlot-class: The .spadesPlot class

Description

This class contains all necessary information to build a Plot on a device, except the actual data. Thus, this class differs notably from the grid package, which keeps a copy of all data *and* information in a hidden location for further access for rebuilding, erasing etc. This difference allows the Plot function to be much faster than using the grid methodology directly. The cost to this speed gain is that the objects *must* be available, by name, in the .GlobalEnv.

Arguments

Slots

arr

An .arrangement object

spadesGrobList

list. A list of lists of .spadesGrob objects

Details

This class contains two slots, one for the overall arrangement of the plots within the device window, and the second for all the .spadesGrob objects within that device window. These .spadesGrob objects are the individual "smallest" plot unit.

These gp* parameters will specify plot parameters that are available with gpar(). gp will adjust plot parameters, gpText will adjust title and legend text, gpAxis will adjust the axes. size adjusts point size in a SpatialPoints object. These will persist with the original Plot call for each individual object. Multiple entries can be used, but they must be named list elements and they must match the ... items to plot. This is true for a RasterStack also, i.e., the list of named elements must be the same length as the number of layers being plotted. The naming convention used is: RasterStackName$layerName, i.e, landscape$DEM.
