plotPAIProfile: Plot GEDI Plant Area Index (PAI) Profile

Description

This functions plots Plant Area Index (PAI) Profile (GEDI level2B)

Usage

plotPAIProfile(level2BPAIProfile, beam = "BEAM0101", elev = TRUE)

Arguments

level2BPAIProfile

A GEDI Level2B object (output of getLevel2BPAIProfile function). An S4 object of class "data.table".

beam

Select GEDI beam. Default is "BEAM0101". See details section.

elev

If TRUE, elevation will be used for plotting the PAI profile. Otherwise, height will be used instead.

Value

Returns a ggplot object. See ggplot package.

Details

list of GEDI beams. See the output of getLevel2BPAIProfile function.
