image.sahrlocs {adehabitat} | R Documentation

## Graphical Display of the Habitat Composition of the Home Ranges of Animals Monitored Using Radio-Tracking

### Description

`image.sahrlocs` allows a gray-level display of the composition of home ranges (different colors are used for factors). For a given variable, the minimum gray level (default is `"white"`) and the maximum gray level (default is `"black"`) represents respectively the minimum and the maximum of the variable ***on the study area***.

### Usage

    image.sahrlocs(x, ani = names(x$hr), var = names(x$sa),
                   mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0), axes = FALSE, dfidxy = NULL, colpts =
                   "black", pch = 21, bg = "white", inv = FALSE, cexpts = 0.6,
                   csub = 2, possub = c("bottomleft", "bottomright", "topleft",
                   "topright"), ...)

### Arguments

`x` | an object of class `sahrlocs`
`ani` | a character vector giving the names of the variables of the `"hr"` component (the animals) for which a display is wanted
`var` | a character vector giving the names of the variables of the `"sa"` component (the habitat variables) for which a display is wanted
`mar` | the graphical parameter `mar` (see `par`)
`axes` | logical. Whether the axes should be plotted
`csub` | the character size for the legend, used with `par("cex")*csub`
`possub` | a character string indicating the sub-title position (`"topleft"`, `"topright"`, `"bottomleft"`, `"bottomright"`)
`dfidxy` | an optional data frame with three columns giving the identity and the coordinates of the relocations of each animal. (if not `NULL`, the relocations of each animal are plotted in its home range, see Examples)
`colpts` | if `dfidxy` is not `NULL`, the color of the points to be used for the plot of the relocations
`pch` | if `dfidxy` is not `NULL`, the size of the points to be used for the plot of the relocations (see `par`)
`bg` | if `dfidxy` is not `NULL`, the background color to be used for the plot of the relocations (see `par`)
`inv` | by default, lower values of the mapped variables are brighter. If `FALSE`, the lower values are darker
`cexpts` | if `dfidxy` is not `NULL`, the size of the points
`...` | additionnal parameters to be passed to the generic function `image`

### Examples

    data(puechabon)
    sahr <- puechabon$sahr
    sahr

    ## Displays all the variables for a given animal
    image(sahr, ani = "Chou")

    ## Displays all the animals for a given variable
    image(sahr, var = "Elevation")

    ## Load and displays the relocations of the animals
    locs <-  puechabon$locs[,c(1,4:5)]
    image(sahr, var = "Elevation", dfidxy = locs, pch = 21)
