add_Cscale {CCAMLRGIS}

Add a color scale

Description

Adds a color scale to plots. Default behavior set for bathymetry. May also be used to place a legend.

Usage

add_Cscale(
  pos = "1/1",
  title = "Depth (m)",
  width = 18,
  height = 70,
  cuts = Depth_cuts,
  cols = Depth_cols,
  minVal = NA,
  maxVal = NA,
  fontsize = 1,
  offset = 100,
  lwd = 1,
  Titlefontsize = 1.2 * fontsize,
  TitleVAdj = 0,
  BoxAdj = c(0, 0, 0, 0),
  BoxCol = "black",
  BoxBG = "white",
  mode = "Cscale"
)

Arguments

pos

character, fraction indicating the vertical position of the color scale (which, by default, is on the right side of plots). if pos="1/1", the color scale will be centered. if pos="1/2", the color scale will be centered on the top half of the plotting region. if pos="2/2", the color scale will be centered on the bottom half of the plotting region.

title

character, title of the color scale.

width

numeric, width of the color scale box, expressed in % of the width of the plotting region.

height

numeric, height of the color scale box, expressed in % of the height of the plotting region.

cuts

numeric, vector of color classes. May be generated via add_col.

cols

character, vector of color names. May be generated via add_col.

minVal

numeric, if desired, the color scale may be generated starting from the value minVal. See examples.

maxVal

numeric, if desired, the color scale may be generated up to the value maxVal. See examples.

fontsize

numeric, size of the text in the color scale.

offset

numeric, controls the horizontal position of the color scale.

lwd

numeric, thickness of lines.

Titlefontsize

numeric, size of the title text.

TitleVAdj

numeric, vertical adjustment of the title.

BoxAdj

numeric vector of 4 values to adjust the sides of the box, given as c(bottom,left,top,right).

BoxCol

Color of the legend box frame.

BoxBG

Color of the legend box background.

mode

character, if 'Cscale', the default, the function builds a color scale. if 'Legend', the function gives you the location of a legend, arguments pos, offset and height may be used for adjustments. See examples.
