plotPAVDProfile: Plot GEDI Plant Area Volume Density Profile

Description

This functions plots Plant Area Volume Density profile (GEDI level2B)

Usage

plotPAVDProfile(level2BPAVDProfile, beam = "BEAM0101", elev = TRUE)

Value

Returns a ggplot object. See ggplot2::ggplot package.

Arguments

level2BPAVDProfile

A GEDI Level2B object (output of getLevel2BPAVDProfile() function). An S4 object of class "data.table".

beam

Select GEDI beam. Default is "BEAM0101". See details section.

elev

If TRUE, elevation will be used for plotting the PAVD profile. Otherwise, height will be used instead.

Details

list of GEDI beams. See the output of getLevel2BPAVDProfile() function.
