numberCorner {BIOMASS}R Documentation

Get the UTM coordinates with the corner of the plot

Description

Get the UTM coordinates from the latitude and longitude of the corners of a plot. The function also assign a number to the corners in a clockwise or counterclockwise way, with the number 1 for the XY origin. Corner numbering is done as followed:

Usage

numberCorner(longlat = NULL, projCoord = NULL, plot, origin, clockWise)

Arguments

longlat

(optional) data frame with the coordinates in longitude latitude (eg. cbind(longitude, latitude)).

projCoord

(optional) data frame with the projected coordinates in X Y

plot

A vector of codes (names) of the plots

origin

A logical vector with TRUE corresponding of the origin of the axis of each plot.

clockWise

A logical, whether the numbering should be done in a clockwise (TRUE) or counterclockwise (FALSE) way.

Value

A data frame with:

Examples

coord <- data.frame(X = c(0, 200, 0, 200), Y = c(0, 0, 200, 200)) + 5000
plot <- rep("plot1", 4)
origin <- c(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE)

# if you turn clock wise
corner <- numberCorner(projCoord = coord, plot = plot, origin = origin, clockWise = TRUE)

# Plot the plot
plot(coord, asp = 1)
text(coord, labels = corner$corner, pos = 1)


# Using a counterclockwise way
corner <- numberCorner(projCoord = coord, plot = plot, origin = origin, clockWise = FALSE)

# Plot the plot
plot(coord, asp = 1)
text(coord, labels = corner$corner, pos = 1)
