mapAxis: Add Axis Labels to an Existing Map

Description

Plot axis labels on an existing map.

Usage

mapAxis(side = 1:2, longitude = NULL, latitude = NULL, tick = TRUE, line = NA, pos = NA, outer = FALSE, font = NA, lty = "solid", lwd = 1, lwd.ticks = lwd, col = NULL, col.ticks = NULL, hadj = NA, padj = NA, tcl = -0.3, debug = getOption("oceDebug"))

Arguments

side

the side at which labels are to be drawn. If not provided, sides 1 and 2 will be used (i.e. bottom and left-hand sides).

longitude

vector of longitudes to indicate. If not provided, and if a grid has already been drawn, then the labels will be at the interesections of the grid lines with the plotting box.

latitude

vector of latitudes to indicate. If not provided, and if a grid has already been drawn, then the labels will be at the interesections of the grid lines with the plotting box.

tick

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

line

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

pos

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

outer

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

font

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

lty

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

lwd

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

lwd.ticks

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

col

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

col.ticks

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

hadj

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

padj

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

tcl

an argument that is transmitted to codeinkaxis.

debug

a flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate amount of debugging information, or to 2 to get more.

Details

This function is still in development, and the argument list as well as the action taken are both subject to change, hence the brevity of this help page.

Note that if a grid line crosses the axis twice, only one label will be drawn.

A map must first have been created with mapPlot.
