bio.save: Import BIO tables to a `rangeMapper` project.

Description

Import tables (e.g. life history data) to an active rangeMapper project.

Usage

bio.save(con, loc, tableName, ...)
	metadata2bio(con, ...)
	bio.merge(con, tableName, ...)

Arguments

con

An sqlite connection pointing to a valid rangeMapper project.

loc

file location or data.frame name

tableName

if missing, the name of the file or data.frame is used

...

Arguments to pass to the corresponding methods: e.g. the ID, the column corresponding to the names of the range files

Value

A BIO table is created in the corresponding rangeMapper project.

r = readOGR(system.file(package = "rangeMapper", 
	"extdata", "wrens", "vector_combined"), "wrens", verbose = FALSE)

	dir = tempdir() )
global.bbox.save(con = dbcon, bbox = r)
gridSize.save(dbcon, gridSize = 2)  
canvas.save(dbcon) 
processRanges(spdf = r, con =  dbcon, ID = "sci_name" )

# Upload BIO tables
data(wrens)
Troglodytes  = wrens[grep("Troglodytes", wrens$sci_name), c(2, 5)]
bio.save(con = dbcon, loc = Troglodytes,  ID = "sci_name")
