Plot sites on US map

plot_sites(data, id = NA_character_, alpha = 1, labels = TRUE)

Arguments

data

(list or tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The dataset object returned by read_data(), a named list of tables containing the observation and taxon tables, or a flat table containing columns of the observation and location tables.

id

(character) Identifier of dataset to be used in plot subtitles. Is automatically assigned when data is a dataset object containing the id field, or is a table containing the package_id column.

alpha

(numeric) Alpha-transparency scale of data points. Useful when many data points overlap. Allowed values are between 0 and 1, where 1 is 100% opaque. Default is 1.

labels

(logical) Argument to show labels of each US state. Default is TRUE.

Value

(gg, ggplot) A gg, ggplot object if assigned to a variable, otherwise a plot to your active graphics device

Details

The data parameter accepts a range of input types but ultimately requires the 14 columns of the combined observation and location tables.

if (FALSE) {
# Read a dataset of interest
dataset <- read_data("edi.193.5")

# Plot the dataset
plot_sites(dataset)

# Flatten dataset then plot
dataset %>% 
  flatten_data() %>% 
  plot_sites()
}

# Plot the example dataset
plot_sites(ants_L1)
