cartography (version 2.4.2)

hatchedLayer: Hatched Layer

Description

Plot a hatched layer with several different patterns. Suitable for b/w print maps.

Usage

hatchedLayer(x, pattern = "dot", density = 1, txt = "a", ...)

Arguments

x

an sf object, a simple feature collection. It should be either a POLYGON or a MULTIPOLYGON.

pattern

Desired pattern to use for hatching. Possible values are:

• Dots: "dot", "text"

• Lines "diamond","grid","hexagon","horizontal", "vertical", "zigzag","left2right","right2left","circle"

density

of the grid. By default the function uses a grid with a minimum of 10 cells on the shortest dimension of the bounding box. Additionally, it is possible to pass a cellsize value that would feed the st_make_grid underlying function.

txt

for the "text" pattern, that should be a character.

...

Additional graphic parameters (see Details).

Value

When passing mode='sfc' an 'sf' object (either MULTLINESTRING or MULTIPOINT) is returned.

Details

Possible values are:

pattern	add	col	bg	cex	pch	lwd	lty
"dot"	x	x	x	x	x
"text"	x	x		x
