geo2envid: Interactive plot to explore points in geographical and environmental space

Description

An interactive plot with options to select to explore points in the geographical or environmental space. The environmental space is defined by the values of two environmental variables.

Usage

geo2envid(edat, g1, group1 = "Species", group2 = "", 
world, xc = "AP", yc = "AMT", xname = "Annual Precipitation (mm)", 
yname = "Mean Annual Temperature", showrecord = "", 
ext = c(-180, 180, -60, 90))

Arguments

edat

a dataframe containing fields with the following names: ID, x, y, Species, x_original, y_original, Correction, Modified, Exclude and the values of selected environmental variables

the name of the species to select

group1

this is usually the column of species names

group2

a second grouping variable

world

a shapefile of the world, where the column containing the country names must be "NAMES"; see data(wrld_simpl)

the name of the environmental variable to be used on the x-axis of the environmental space

the name of the environmental variable to be used on the y-axis of the environmental space

xname

x-axis label for the environmental space

yname

y-axis label for the environmental space

showrecord

the ID of a selected record to be shown on the map

ext

The extent, which can be specified as c(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax) default extent c(-180, 180, -90, 90). Alternatively if ext="p" then the extent will be calculated from the coordinates of the points in the dataset.

Value

Details

The selected records are marked with a red dot and ID numbers are shown. Records that are considered to be outliers can be excluded by selecting the record in the environmental space. A menu with various options is produced.
