climenv (version 1.0.0)

plot_h: plot_h

Description

Creates a graph using the climate and elevation data which has been extracted for a given location. It accepts the data formatted from the ce_extract function.

Usage

plot_h(data, geo_id, col = "red", pch = 19, ...)

Value

Returns a base R family of plot. This function uses the Ternary

package to create a Holdridge simplex plot.

Arguments

data

List. Containing climate, elevation and latitude data sets. Structured by ce_extract().

geo_id

Character. Corresponding to a specific feature contained in the "location" argument (specifically in the "location_g" column).

col, pch, ...

Arguments to control point styling in HoldridgePoints().
