plot.capthist: Plot Detection Histories

Description

Display a plot of detection (capture) histories over a map of the detectors.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'capthist':
plot(x, rad = 5,
    hidetraps = FALSE, tracks = FALSE,
    title = TRUE, subtitle = TRUE, add = FALSE, varycol = TRUE, 
    icolours = NULL, randcol = FALSE, 
    lab1cap = FALSE, laboffset = 4, ncap = FALSE, 
    splitocc = NULL, col2 = "green",
    type = "petal",
    cappar = list(cex = 1.3, pch = 16, col = "blue"), 
    trkpar = list(col = "blue", lwd = 1), 
    labpar = list(cex = 0.7, col = "black"), ...)

Arguments

x
an object of class capthist
rad
radial displacement of dot indicating each capture event from the detector location (used to separate overlapping points)
hidetraps
logical indicating whether trap locations should be displayed
tracks
logical indicating whether consecutive locations of individual animals should be joined by a line
title
logical or character string for title
subtitle
logical or character string for subtitle
add
logical for whether to add to existing plot
varycol
logical for whether to distinguish individuals by colour
icolours
vector of individual colours (when varycol = TRUE), or colour scale (non-petal plots)
randcol
logical to use random colours (varycol = TRUE)
lab1cap
logical for whether to label the first capture of each animal
laboffset
distance by which to offset labels from points
ncap
logical to display the number of detections per trap per occasion
splitocc
optional occasion from which second colour is to be used
col2
second colour (used with splitocc)
type
character string ("petal", "n.per.detector" or "n.per.cluster")
cappar
list of named graphical parameters for detections (passed to par)
trkpar
list of named graphical parameters for tracks (passed to par)
labpar
list of named graphical parameters for labels (passed to par)
...
arguments to be passed to plot.traps

Value

  • For type = "petal", the number of detections in x. For type = "n.per.detector" or type = "n.per.cluster", a dataframe with data for a legend (see Examples).

Details

By default, a `petal' plot is generated in the style of Density (Efford 2007) using eqscplot from the MASS library. If type = "n.per.detector" or type = "n.per.cluster" the result is a colour-coded plot of the number of individuals at each unit, pooled over occasions. If title = FALSE no title is displayed; if title = TRUE, the session identifer is used for the title. If subtitle = FALSE no subtitle is displayed; if subtitle = TRUE, the subtitle gives the numbers of occasions, detections and individuals. If x is a multi-session capthist object then a separate plot is produced for each session. Use par(mfrow = c(nr, nc)) to allow a grid of plots to be displayed simultaneously (nr rows x nc columns). These arguments are used only for petal plots: rad, tracks, varycol, randcol, lab1cap, laboffset, ncap, splitocc, col2, trkpar, and labpar. If icolours = NULL and varycol = TRUE then a vector of colours is generated automatically as terrain.colors((nrow(x)+1) * 1.5). If there are too few values in icolours for the number of individuals then colours will be re-used.

Examples

Run this code
demotrap <- make.grid()
tempcapt <- sim.capthist(demotrap, 
    popn = list(D = 5, buffer = 50), 
    detectpar = list(g0 = 0.15, sigma = 30))
plot(tempcapt, border = 10, rad = 3, tracks = TRUE, 
    lab1cap = TRUE, laboffset = 2.5)


## type = n.per.cluster

## generate some captures
testregion <- data.frame(x = c(0,2000,2000,0),
    y = c(0,0,2000,2000))
popn <- sim.popn (D = 10, core = testregion, buffer = 0,
    model2D = "hills", details = list(hills = c(-2,3)))
t1 <- make.grid(nx = 1, ny = 1)
t1.100 <- make.systematic (cluster = t1, spacing = 100,
    region = testregion)
capt <- sim.capthist(t1.100, popn = popn, noccasions = 1)

## now plot captures ...
temp <- plot(capt, title = "Individuals per cluster",
    type = "n.per.cluster", hidetraps = FALSE,
    gridlines = FALSE, cappar = list(cex = 1.5))

## add legend; click on map to place top left corner
legend (locator(1), pch = 21, pt.bg = temp$colour,
    pt.cex = 1.3, legend = temp$legend, cex = 0.8)

## try varying individual colours - requires RColorBrewer
require(RColorBrewer)
plot(infraCH[[2]], icolours = brewer.pal(12, 'Set3'), tracks = T,
    bg = 'black', cappar = list(cex = 2), border = 10, rad = 2,
    gridlines=F)
