plot_RLum.Data.Image: Plot function for an `RLum.Data.Image` S4 class object

Description

The function provides a standardised plot output for image data of an RLum.Data.ImageS4 class object, mainly using the plot functions provided by the raster package.

Usage

plot_RLum.Data.Image(object, par.local = TRUE,
  plot.type = "plot.raster", ...)

Arguments

object

'>RLum.Data.Image (required): S4 object of class RLum.Data.Image

par.local

logical (with default): use local graphical parameters for plotting, e.g. the plot is shown in one column and one row. If par.local = FALSE global parameters are inherited.

plot.type

character (with default): plot types. Supported types are plot.raster, plotRGB or contour

...

further arguments and graphical parameters that will be passed to the specific plot functions.

Value

Returns a plot.

Details

Details on the plot functions

Image is visualised as 2D plot usinng generic plot types provided by other packages.

Supported plot types:

plot.type = "plot.raster"

Uses the standard plot function for raster data from the package raster::raster: raster::plot. For each raster layer in a raster brick one plot is produced.

Arguments that are passed through the function call:

main,axes, xlab, ylab, xlim, ylim, col

plot.type = "plotRGB"

Uses the function raster::plotRGB from the raster::raster package. Only one image plot is produced as all layers in a brick a combined. This plot type is useful to see whether any signal is recorded by the camera. Arguments that are passed through the function call:

main,axes, xlab, ylab, ext, interpolate, maxpixels, alpha, colNA, stretch

plot.type = "contour"

Uses the function contour plot function from the raster function (raster::contour). For each raster layer one contour plot is produced. Arguments that are passed through the function call:

main,axes, xlab, ylab, xlim, ylim, col

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
##load data
data(ExampleData.RLum.Data.Image, envir = environment())

##plot data
plot_RLum.Data.Image(ExampleData.RLum.Data.Image)
