animate-method for sts stsplot type observed~1|unit*time
implemented by the function stsplot_spacetime.
Maps generated by stsplot_space are
sequentially plotted along time (optionally showing cumulative
counts), with an optional time series chart below the map to track the
epidemic curve.
It is worth using functionality of the saveHTML) to directly export the
animation into a useful format.
See Meyer and Held (2014, Supplement A) for an example with the
fluBYBW data.## S3 method for class 'sts':
animate(object, tps = NULL, cumulative = FALSE,
population = NULL, at = 10, ...,
timeplot = list(height = 0.3),
sleep = 0.5, verbose = interactive(), draw = TRUE)"sts " or a matrix of counts,
i.e., observed(stsObj), where especially
colnames(x) have to be contained in row.names(map).
If a matrix, the tps=NULL means the whole time period 1:nrow(object).stsplot_space.stsplot_timeSimple) and package tps will be plotted below the map.
Sys.sleep) between subsequent snapshots (only if
dev.interactive), in seconds.txtProgressBar should be shown
during generation of the animation -- which may take a while.
Default is to do so in interactidraw = FALSE is useful if one would like to
manually arrange the plots, which are always returned invisibly in length(tps) sequential plot objects
of class "gtable"
(if the the timeplot is active) or of class
"trellis"
(otherwise).[object Object]
