mkde (version 0.1)

writeObservedLocationVTK: Write observed locations to VTK.

Description

Write the observed points to a VTK file.

Usage

writeObservedLocationVTK(move.dat, mkde.obj, description, filename, control)

Arguments

move.dat

A move data object created with initializeMovementData

mkde.obj

An MKDE object created with initialize3DMKDE

description

A text description for the file header

filename

A string for the path and file name

control

A list for finer control

Value

No value is returned

Details

Writes 3D points for observed locations for move steps. Currently, the list argument control only has one element z.scale used to scale the z-coordinates.

Examples

library(raster)
data(condor)
mv.dat <- initializeMovementData(condor$time, condor$x, condor$y, 
z.obs=condor$z, sig2obs=25.0, sig2obs.z=81.0, t.max=65.0)

data(condordem)
cell.sz <- mean(res(condordem))
ext <- extent(condordem)
nx <- ncol(condordem)
ny <- nrow(condordem)
mkde.obj <- initializeMKDE3D(ext@xmin, cell.sz, nx, ext@ymin, cell.sz,
ny, min(values(condordem), na.rm=TRUE), 30.0, 100)

writeObservedLocationVTK(mv.dat, mkde.obj,
"Example California condor locations", "condor_locations.vtk")
