Description

Writes object of class "SpatialLines*" to KML with a possibility to parse attribute variables using several aesthetics arguments.

Usage

kml_layer.SpatialLines(obj, extrude = FALSE, z.scale = 1, metadata = NULL, 
  html.table = NULL, TimeSpan.begin = "", TimeSpan.end = "", ...)

Arguments

obj

object of class "SpatialLines*"

extrude

logical; specifies whether to connect the LinearRing to the ground

z.scale

vertical exaggeration

metadata

(optional) specify the metadata object

html.table

TimeSpan.begin

(optional) beginning of the referent time period

TimeSpan.end

Details

Only colour and width (aesthetics) are recommended when visualizing SpatialLines* objects. TimeSpan.begin and TimeSpan.end are optional TimeStamp vectors in the format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:sszzzzzz Use the same time values for both TimeSpan.begin and TimeSpan.end if the measurements refer to a single moment in time. TimeSpan.begin and TimeSpan.end can be either a single value or a vector of values.
