Description

This function updates ordinations from previous versions of labdsv and converts ordinations of class ‘boral’ from package boral, list output objects from package Rtsne, class ‘metaMDS’ objects from package vegan, or class ‘ordiplot’ objects from package vegan into objects of class ‘dsvord’ for plotting and comparison.

Usage

an object of class ‘dsvord’, i.e. a list with items ‘points’ and ‘type’ (optionally more), and attributes ‘call’ and ‘timestamp’ and ‘class’.

Arguments
