GLOBE.ORTH {GEOmap}

Plot globe with orthogonal

Description

Plot globe with orthogonal

Usage

GLOBE.ORTH(lam0, phi1, R = 1, plotmap = TRUE, plotline=TRUE, add=FALSE,
 map = coastmap, mapcol = grey(0.2), linecol = grey(0.7), fill=FALSE)

Arguments

lam0

view origin longitude, degrees

phi1

view origin latitude, degrees

R

Radius of sphere, default=1

plotmap

logical, default=TRUE, add map

plotline

logical, default=TRUE, add grid of lat-lons

add

logical, default=FALSE, Do not start a new plot, rather add to existing plot

map

GEOmap list

mapcol

color for map

linecol

color for meridians and parallels

fill

fill polygons with color, default=FALSE

Details

Plots whole globe with grid.
