geometricRectanglePropSearchTable: Create proportion of area searched table for a rectangular full plot

Description

Calculate the areas of intersection of a series of nested annuli with a rectangle.

Usage

geometricRectanglePropSearchTable(
  side1,
  side2 = side1,
  mastRadius,
  annulusWidth = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

side1

Numeric, length of the side of the rectangle

side2

Numeric, length of the second side of the rectangle, default is side1 which produces a square.

mastRadius

Integer, radius of the turbine mast.

annulusWidth

Integer, width of annulus, default is 1

...

Currently ignored.

Value

Data frame of proportion of area searched for each annulus. distanceFromTurbine column represents the outer radius of each annulus.

Details

Searches are conducted around a turbine within a rectangle for bird and bat carcasses. This function creates a data frame of proportion of area searched within each annulus ring. The turbine is assumed to be centered within the rectangle.

# NOT RUN {
## square 50 x 50
propSearch <- geometricRectanglePropSearchTable(side1 = 50,
                                                mastRadius = 2)


## square 50 x 70
propSearch <- geometricRectanglePropSearchTable(side1 = 50,
                                                side2 = 70,
                                                mastRadius = 2)
