plot_sample_space_time {ecocomDP}

Plot dates and times samples were collected or observations were made

Description

Plot dates and times samples were collected or observations were made

Usage

plot_sample_space_time(
  data,
  id = NA_character_,
  alpha = 1,
  color_var = "package_id",
  shape_var = "package_id",
  observation = NULL
)

Arguments

data

(list or tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) The dataset object returned by read_data(), a named list of tables containing the observation table, or a flat table containing columns of the observation table.

id

(character) Identifier of dataset to be used in plot subtitles. Is automatically assigned when data is a dataset object containing the id field, or is a table containing the package_id column.

alpha

(numeric) Alpha-transparency scale of data points. Useful when many data points overlap. Allowed values are between 0 and 1, where 1 is 100% opaque. Default is 1.

color_var

(character) Name of column to use to assign colors to the points on the plot

shape_var

(character) Name of column to use to assign shapes to the points on the plot

observation

(tbl_df, tbl, data.frame) DEPRECATED: Use data instead.

Details

The data parameter accepts a range of input types but ultimately requires the 9 columns of the observation table.

Value

(gg, ggplot) A gg, ggplot object if assigned to a variable, otherwise a plot to your active graphics device

Examples

## Not run: 
# Read a dataset of interest
dataset <- read_data("edi.193.5")

# Plot the dataset
plot_sample_space_time(dataset)

# Flatten the dataset, manipulate, then plot
dataset %>%
  flatten_data() %>%
  dplyr::filter(lubridate::as_date(datetime) > "2003-07-01") %>%
  dplyr::filter(as.numeric(location_id) > 4) %>%
  plot_sample_space_time()

## End(Not run)

# Plot the example dataset
plot_sample_space_time(ants_L1)
