plot_mcp: Plot the Minimum Convex Polygon

Description

This function plots the MCP as a polygon, which covers the geographical extent of a set of points on a Cartesian plane.

Usage

plot_mcp(plotnew=TRUE, plotpoints=TRUE, points.col='black', 
points.pch=1, titletxt="Title", xaxis= "Easting (m)", 
yaxis="Northing (m)", mcp.col='black', mcp.lwd=2, 
fill.col=NA, jpeg=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

plotnew

Boolean: Set to TRUE to create a new plot. Set to FALSE to overlay current plot.

plotpoints

Boolean: Set to TRUE if the point observations are to be plotted

points.col

Specify a colour for the point observations

points.pch

Specify a plotting symbol for the point observations

titletxt

A string to use as the title on the plot

xaxis

A string to label the x-axis of the plot

yaxis
