res_custom_map: Local Reserve Map for Custom Stations

Description

Create a stylized reserve-level map of custom station locations for use with the reserve level reporting template

Usage

res_custom_map(
  stations,
  x_loc,
  y_loc,
  bbox,
  shp,
  station_labs = TRUE,
  station_col = NULL,
  lab_loc = NULL,
  bg_map = NULL,
  zoom = NULL,
  maptype = "stamen_toner_lite"
)

Value

returns a ggplot object

Arguments

stations

chr string of the reserve stations to include in the map

x_loc

num vector of x coordinates for stations

y_loc

num vector of y coordinates for stations

bbox

a bounding box associated with the reserve. Must be in the format of c(X1, Y1, X2, Y2)

shp

sf data frame (preferred) or SpatialPolygons object

station_labs

logical, should stations be labeled? Defaults to TRUE

station_col

chr vector of colors used to color station points. Defaults to 'black'.

lab_loc

chr vector of 'R' and 'L', one letter for each station. if no lab_loc is specified then labels will default to the left.

bg_map

a georeferenced ggmap or ggplot object used as a background map, generally provided by a call to base_map. If bg_map is specified, maptype and zoom are ignored.

zoom

Zoom level for the base map created when bg_map is not specified. An integer value, 5 - 15, with higher numbers providing more detail. If not provided, a zoom level is autoscaled based on bbox parameters.

maptype

Background map type from Stadia Maps (formerly Stamen) (https://docs.stadiamaps.com/); one of c("stamen_terrain", "stamen_toner", "stamen_toner_lite", "stamen_watercolor", "alidade_smooth", "alidade_smooth_dark", "outdoors", "stamen_terrain_background", "stamen_toner_background", "stamen_terrain_labels", "stamen_terrain_lines", "stamen_toner_labels", "stamen_toner_lines").

Details

Creates a stylized, reserve-level base map. The user can specify the reserve and stations to plot. The user can also specify a bounding box. For multi-component reserves, the user should specify a bounding box that highlights the component of interest.

This function does not automatically detect conflicts between station labels. The lab_loc argument allows the user to specify "R" or "L" for each station to prevent labels from conflicting with each other.

This function is intended to be used with mapview::mapshot to generate a png for the reserve-level report.

Examples

### set plotting parameters
stns <- c('Stn 1', 'Stn 2')
x_coords <- c(-121.735281, -121.750369)
y_coords <- c(36.850377, 36.806667)
shp_fl <- elk_spatial
bounding_elk <- c(-121.8005, 36.7779, -121.6966, 36.8799)
lab_dir <- c('L', 'R')

### Low zoom and default maptype plot (for CRAN testing, not recommended)
#    Lower zoom number gives coarser text and fewer features
(x_low <- res_custom_map(stations = stns, x_loc = x_coords, y_loc = y_coords,
                    bbox = bounding_elk, lab_loc = lab_dir, shp = shp_fl,
                    zoom = 10))

# \donttest{
x_def <- res_custom_map(stations = stns, x_loc = x_coords, y_loc = y_coords,
                    bbox = bounding_elk, lab_loc = lab_dir, shp = shp_fl)

res_custom_map(stations = stns, x_loc = x_coords, y_loc = y_coords,
               bbox = bounding_elk, lab_loc = lab_dir,
               shp = shp_fl, station_col = c('red', 'green'))
