hilldiv (version 1.5.1)

div_profile_plot: Diversity profile plot

Description

Plot diversity profiles from objects generated with the function div_profile().

Usage

div_profile_plot(profile, colour, log, legend)

Arguments

profile

A div_profile() object or a vector/matrix containg diversity profile(s), with columns indicating samples/groups and rows indicating orders of diversity (q-values).

colour

A vector of RGB colours e.g. c("#34k235","#99cc00"). The number of vector items, must equal the number of samples or groups that are intended to plot.

log

Whether to transform Hill numbers to logarithmic scale (TRUE) or not (FALSE). This is useful when there are large differences between q values (e.g. sharp drop from q=0 to q=1), which might complicate visualization. Default: log=FALSE

legend

Whether to display the legend (TRUE) or not (FALSE) in diversity profiles containing multiple samples/groups. Default TRUE in multi-sample charts.

Value

A diversity profile plot.
