read.DeponsBlockdyn {DEPONS2R}

Reading simulated population count for blocks

Description

Function for reading DEPONS simulation output with number of animals per block for each time step.

Usage

read.DeponsBlockdyn(
  fname,
  title = "NA",
  landscape = "NA",
  simtime = "NA",
  startday = "NA"
)

Arguments

fname

Name of the file (character) that contains movement data generated by DEPONS. The name includes the path to the directory if this is not the current working directory.

title

Optional character string giving name of simulation

landscape

The landscape used in the simulation

simtime

Optional text string with date of simulation (format: yyyy-mm-dd). If not provided this is obtained from name of input file

startday

The start of the period that the simulation represents, i.e. the real-world equivalent of 'tick 1' (POSIXlt)

Value

DeponsBlockdyn object
