CCAMLRGIS R package

This package was developed to simplify the production of maps in the CAMLR Convention Area. It provides two main categories of functions: load functions and create functions. Load functions are used to import spatial layers from the online CCAMLR GIS such as the ASD boundaries. Create functions are used to create layers from user data such as polygons and grids.

Installation

You can install the CCAMLRGIS R package from CRAN with:

install.packages("CCAMLRGIS")

Documentation

A package to load and create spatial data, including layers and tools that are relevant to CCAMLR activities.

Introduction

First, install the package by typing:

install.packages("CCAMLRGIS")

Then, load the package by typing:

library(CCAMLRGIS)

In order to plot bathymetry data, you will also need to load terra:

library(terra)

All spatial manipulations are made using the South Pole Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection (type ?CCAMLRp for more details), and follow CCAMLR’s geospatial rules.

#Map with axes, to illustrate projection

The South Pole Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection converts Latitudes and Longitudes into locations on a disk with x/y axes and units of meters. The South Pole is at x=0m ; y=0m. The tip of the Peninsula, for example, is around x=-2,500,000m ; y=2,000,000m.

1. Basemaps

Additional basemaps are available here.

Bathymetry:

Prior to detailing the package’s capabilities, a set of basic commands are shown here to display a few core mapping elements. All scripts use the low-resolution bathymetry raster included in the package (‘SmallBathy’). In order to obtain higher resolution bathymetry data, use the Load_Bathy() function:

#Load_Bathy() example:
Bathy=load_Bathy(LocalFile = FALSE,Res=5000)

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig1.1.png',width=2000,height=2000,res=300,bg="transparent")

plot(Bathy, breaks=Depth_cuts,col=Depth_cols,axes=FALSE,legend=FALSE,mar=c(0,0,0,0))

dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

#Please refer to ?load_Bathy for more details, including how to save the bathymetry data so that you
#do not have to re-download it every time you need it.

Statistical Areas, Subareas and Divisions (ASDs):

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig1.2.png',width=2200,height=1800,res=300)
#Load ASDs and EEZs
ASDs=load_ASDs()
EEZs=load_EEZs()
#Plot the bathymetry
plot(SmallBathy(),breaks=Depth_cuts,col=Depth_cols,legend=F,axes=F,box=F,mar=c(0,0,0,5))
#Add reference grid
add_RefGrid(bb=st_bbox(SmallBathy()),ResLat=10,ResLon=20,LabLon=0,fontsize=0.75,lwd=0.75,offset = 4)
#Add color scale
add_Cscale(height=70,fontsize=0.75,offset=-50,width=14,maxVal=-1,lwd=0.5)
#Add ASD and EEZ boundaries
plot(st_geometry(ASDs),add=T,lwd=0.75,border='red',xpd=T)
plot(st_geometry(EEZs),add=T,lwd=0.75,border='red',xpd=T)
#Add coastline (for all ASDs)

#Add ASD labels
add_labels(mode='auto',layer='ASDs',fontsize=0.6,col='red')

#Crop bathymetry to match the extent of S486
B486=crop(SmallBathy(),ext(S486))
#Plot the bathymetry
plot(B486,breaks=Depth_cuts,col=Depth_cols,legend=F,axes=F,mar=c(1.0,2,1.0,6))
#Add color scale
add_Cscale(height=80,fontsize=0.7,offset=250,width=15,lwd=0.5,maxVal=-1)
#Add coastline (for Subarea 48.6 only)
plot(Coast[Coast$ID=='48.6',],col='grey',lwd=0.01,add=T,xpd=T)
#Add reference grid
add_RefGrid(bb=st_bbox(B486),ResLat=5,ResLon=10,fontsize=0.75,lwd=0.75,offset = 50000)
#Add Subarea 48.6 boundaries

2. Create functions

2.1. Points, lines, polygons and grids

These functions are used to transform user data into spatial layers with the appropriate projection. User data should be provided as a dataframe containing Latitudes and Longitudes in decimal degrees. Depending on the function used, some other variables may be required (see help).

Create points:

For details, type:

?create_Points

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig2.1.png',width=2000,height=1400,res=300)

#Prepare layout for 4 sub-plots
par(mfrow=c(2,2),mai=c(0.01,0.01,0.2,0.01))

#Example 1: Simple points with labels
MyPoints=create_Points(PointData)
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints),main='Example 1',cex.main=0.75,cex=0.5,lwd=0.5)
text(MyPoints$x,MyPoints$y,MyPoints$name,adj=c(0.5,-0.5),xpd=T,cex=0.75)

#Example 2: Simple points with labels, highlighting one group of points with the same name
MyPoints=create_Points(PointData)
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints),main='Example 2',cex.main=0.75,cex=0.5,lwd=0.5)
text(MyPoints$x,MyPoints$y,MyPoints$name,adj=c(0.5,-0.5),xpd=T,cex=0.75)
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints[MyPoints$name=='four',]),bg='red',pch=21,cex=1,add=T)

Adding a buffer with the argument SeparateBuf set to FALSE results in a single polygon which may be viewed as a footprint:

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig2.3.png',width=2000,height=1000,res=300)

#Set the figure margins as c(bottom, left, top, right)
par(mai=c(0.01,0.01,0.01,0.01))

#Buffer merged lines
MyLines=create_Lines(LineData,Buffer=10,SeparateBuf=F)

2.2. Create Stations

This function was designed to create random point locations inside a polygon and within bathymetry strata constraints. A distance constraint between stations may also be used if desired. The examples below use the ‘SmallBathy’ data for illustrative purposes; users should use a higher resolution bathymetry dataset instead, as obtained via the load_Bathy() function.

For details, type:

?create_Stations

First, create a polygon within which stations will be created:

#Create polygons
MyPoly=create_Polys(
        data.frame(Name="mypol",
             Latitude=c(-75,-75,-70,-70),
             Longitude=c(-170,-180,-180,-170))
        ,Densify=T)


png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig2.8.png',width=2000,height=1000,res=300,bg="transparent")
par(mai=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(st_geometry(Coast[Coast$ID=='88.1',]),col='grey')
plot(st_geometry(MyPoly),col='green',add=T)
text(MyPoly$Labx,MyPoly$Laby,MyPoly$ID)

Example 1. Set numbers of stations, no distance constraint:

#optional: crop your bathymetry raster to match the extent of your polygon
BathyCroped=crop(SmallBathy(),ext(MyPoly))

#Create stations
MyStations=create_Stations(MyPoly,BathyCroped,Depths=c(-2000,-1500,-1000,-550),N=c(20,15,10))

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig2.9.png',width=2000,height=1500,res=300)

#add custom colors to the bathymetry to indicate the strata of interest
MyCols=add_col(var=c(-10000,10000),cuts=c(-2000,-1500,-1000,-550),cols=c('blue','cyan'))
plot(BathyCroped,breaks=MyCols$cuts,col=MyCols$cols,legend=F,axes=F,main="Example 1")

2.3. Create pies

The function create_Pies() generates pie charts that can be overlaid on maps. The Input data must be a dataframe with, at least, columns for latitude, longitude, class and value. For each location, a pie is created with pie pieces for each class, and the size of each pie piece depends on the proportion of each class (the value of each class divided by the sum of values). Optionally, the area of each pie can be proportional to a chosen variable (if that variable is different than the value mentioned above, the Input data must have a fifth column and that variable must be unique to each location). If the Input data contains locations that are too close together, the data can be gridded by setting GridKm (see Examples 6-8). Once pie charts have been created, the function add_PieLegend() may be used to add a legend to the figure.

For details, type:

?create_Pies
?add_PieLegend
#The examples below use the following example datasets:
View(PieData)

2.4. Create Arrow

This function creates an arrow, which can be curved and/or segmented. Input is a dataframe with columns Latitude, Longitude, Weight (optional). First row is start, last row is end (where the arrow will point to), and intermediate rows are points towards which the arrow’s path will bend. A weight can be added to the intermediate points to make the arrow’s path bend more towards them. The arrow’s path is a curve along Np points, if it appears too segmented, increase Np. The arrow’s path width is controlled by Pwidth. The arrow’s head length and width are controlled by Hlength and Hwidth respectively. Two types of arrows (Atype) can be created: ‘normal’ or ‘dashed’. A normal arrow is a single polygon, with a single color (set by Acol) and transparency (set by Atrans). A dashed arrow is a series of polygons which can be colored separately by setting two or more values as Acol=c(“color start”,“color end”) and two or more transparency values as Atrans=c(“transparency start”,“transparency end”). The length of dashes is controlled by dlength.

For details, type:

3. Load functions

3.1. Online use

Download the up-to-date spatial layers from the online CCAMLR GIS and load them to your environment.

For details, type:

?load_ASDs
?load_Bathy

#Load ASDs, EEZs, and Coastline
ASDs=load_ASDs()
EEZs=load_EEZs()
Coastline=load_Coastline()
Coastline=Coastline[Coastline$surface=="Land",]

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig3.1.png',width=2000,height=2000,res=300,bg="transparent")

#Set the figure margins as c(bottom, left, top, right)
par(mai=c(0,0,0,0))
#Plot
plot(st_geometry(ASDs),col='green',border='blue')
plot(st_geometry(EEZs),col='orange',border='purple',add=T)
plot(st_geometry(Coastline),col='grey',add=T)
add_labels(mode='auto',layer='ASDs',fontsize=0.75,col='red')
box()
dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

3.2. Offline use

Since the ‘load_’ functions require an internet connection, users may desire to save layers on their hard drive for offline use. This may be done, at the risk of not having the most up-to-date layers, as follows:

#Load all layers
ASDs=load_ASDs()
EEZs=load_EEZs()
Coastline=load_Coastline()
SSRUs=load_SSRUs()
RBs=load_RBs()
SSMUs=load_SSMUs()
MAs=load_MAs()
MPAs=load_MPAs()

#Save as .RData file (here in the temp directory, but users might want to chose their own directory)
save(list=c('ASDs','EEZs','Coastline','SSRUs','RBs','SSMUs','MAs','MPAs'),
     file = file.path(tempdir(), "CCAMLRLayers.RData"), compress='xz')

#Later, when offline load layers:
load(file.path(tempdir(), "CCAMLRLayers.RData"))

The load_Bathy() function may also be used to download and store bathymetry data for later use, see ?load_Bathy for details.

4. Other functions

4.1. get_depths

Given a bathymetry raster and an input dataframe of latitudes/longitudes, this function computes the depths at these locations. The examples below use the ‘SmallBathy’ data for illustrative purposes; users should use a higher resolution bathymetry dataset instead, as obtained via the load_Bathy() function.

For details, type:

?get_depths

#Generate a dataframe
MyData=data.frame(Lat=PointData$Lat,
                  Lon=PointData$Lon,
                  Catch=PointData$Catch)
#The input data looks like this:
head(MyData)
#>         Lat       Lon    Catch
#> 1 -68.63966 -175.0078 53.33002

4.2. seabed_area

Function to calculate planimetric seabed area within polygons and depth strata in square kilometers. Its accuracy depends on the input bathymetry raster. The examples below use the ‘SmallBathy’ data for illustrative purposes; users should use a higher resolution bathymetry dataset instead, as obtained via the load_Bathy() function. Higher accuracy will be obtained with raw, unprojected bathymetry data.

For details, type:

?seabed_area

#create some polygons
MyPolys=create_Polys(PolyData,Densify=T)
#compute the seabed areas
FishDepth=seabed_area(SmallBathy(),MyPolys,PolyNames="ID",depth_classes=c(0,-200,-600,-1800,-3000,-5000))
#Result looks like this (note that the 600-1800 stratum is renamed 'Fishable_area')
head(FishDepth)
#>      ID 0|-200 -200|-600 Fishable_area -1800|-3000 -3000|-5000
#> 1   one      0  19600.01      41300.01    40500.01    92300.03

4.6. get_iso_polys

From an input raster and chosen cuts (classes), turns areas between contours into polygons. An input polygon may optionally be given to constrain boundaries. The accuracy is dependent on the resolution of the raster (e.g., see load_Bathy() to get high resolution bathymetry). if Grp is set to TRUE (slower), contour polygons that touch each other are identified and grouped (a Grp column is added to the object). This can be used, for example, to identify seamounts that are constituted of several isobaths (see example 2 below).

For details, type:

?get_iso_polys

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig4.3.png',width=2000,height=1200,res=300,bg="white")

#Prepare layout for 3 sub-plots

4.7. Rotate_obj

Rotate an sf or SpatRaster object by setting the longitude that should point up. The output should only be used for plotting, not analysis (as the projection is modified to a non-standard EPSG projection). See also here for more examples.

5. Adding colors, legends and labels

5.1. Bathymetry colors

Coloring bathymetry requires a vector of depth classes and a vector of colors. Colors are applied between depth classes (so there is one less color than there are depth classes). Two sets of bathymetry colors are included in the package. One simply colors the bathymetry in shades of blue (Depth_cols and Depth_cuts), the other adds shades of green to highlight the Fishable Depth range (600-1800m; Depth_cols2 and Depth_cuts2). The examples below use the ‘SmallBathy’ data for illustrative purposes; users should use a higher resolution bathymetry dataset instead, as obtained via the load_Bathy() function.

Simple set of colors:

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.1.png',width=2000,height=1800,res=300,bg="transparent")

#Plot the bathymetry
plot(SmallBathy(),breaks=Depth_cuts,col=Depth_cols,axes=FALSE,box=FALSE,legend=FALSE,mar=c(0,0,0,7))
#Add color scale
add_Cscale(cuts=Depth_cuts,cols=Depth_cols,fontsize=0.75,height=80,offset=0,width=16,maxVal=-1)
dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

Highlighting the Fishable Depth range:

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.2.png',width=2000,height=1800,res=300,bg="transparent")

#Plot the bathymetry
plot(SmallBathy(),breaks=Depth_cuts2,col=Depth_cols2,axes=FALSE,box=FALSE,legend=FALSE,mar=c(0,0,0,7))
#Add color scale
add_Cscale(cuts=Depth_cuts2,cols=Depth_cols2,fontsize=0.75,height=80,offset=0,width=16,maxVal=-1)
dev.off()

#>   2

5.2. Adding colors to data

Adding colors to plots revolves around two functions:

?add_col
#and
?add_Cscale

add_col() generates colors for a variable of interest as well as a set of color classes and colors to be used as inputs to the add_Cscale() function. Colors and color classes may be generated automatically or customized, depending on the intended appearance. Knowing the names of colors in R would be useful here (http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~tzheng/files/Rcolor.pdf).

#Adding color to points
png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.3.png',width=2000,height=1800,res=300,bg="white")

#Prepare layout for 3 sub-plots
par(mfrow=c(3,1),mai=c(0.1,0.1,0.1,1))
#Create some points
MyPoints=create_Points(PointData)

#Example 1: Add default cols and cuts
MyCols=add_col(MyPoints$Nfishes) 
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints),pch=21,bg=MyCols$varcol,main='Example 1:',cex.main=0.75,cex=1.5,lwd=0.5)
box()
add_Cscale(title='Number of fishes',
           height=95,fontsize=0.75,width=16,lwd=1,offset=0,
           cuts=MyCols$cuts,cols=MyCols$cols)

#Example 2: Given the look of example 1, reduce the number of cuts and round their values (in add_Cscale)
MyCols=add_col(MyPoints$Nfishes,cuts=10) 
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints),pch=21,bg=MyCols$varcol,main='Example 2:',cex.main=0.75,cex=1.5,lwd=0.5)
box()
add_Cscale(title='Number of fishes',
           height=95,fontsize=0.75,width=16,lwd=1,offset=0,
           cuts=round(MyCols$cuts,1),cols=MyCols$cols)

#Example 3: same as example 2 but with custom colors
MyCols=add_col(MyPoints$Nfishes,cuts=10,cols=c('black','yellow','purple','cyan')) 
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints),pch=21,bg=MyCols$varcol,main='Example 3:',cex.main=0.75,cex=1.5,lwd=0.5)
add_Cscale(title='Number of fishes',
           height=95,fontsize=0.75,width=16,lwd=1,offset=0,
           cuts=round(MyCols$cuts,1),cols=MyCols$cols)
box()
dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

#Adding colors to a grid with custom cuts (see also the last example in section 2.1.)

#Step 1: Generate your grid
MyGrid=create_PolyGrids(GridData,Area=10000)

#Step 2: Inspect your gridded data (e.g. hist(MyGrid$Catch_sum,100))
#to determine whether irregular cuts are required.
#In this case (heterogeneously distributed data) irregular cuts 
#would be preferable, such as:
MyCuts=c(0,50,100,500,2000,2500)

#Step 3: Generate colors according to the desired classes (MyCuts)
Gridcol=add_col(MyGrid$Catch_sum,cuts=MyCuts,cols=c('blue','white','red'))

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.4.png',width=2000,height=1200,res=300,bg="transparent")

#Step 4: Plot result and add color scale
par(mai=c(0,0,0,1.5)) #set plot margins as c(bottom, left, top, right)
#Use the colors generated by add_col
plot(st_geometry(MyGrid),col=Gridcol$varcol,lwd=0.1) 
#Add color scale using cuts and cols generated by add_col
add_Cscale(title='Sum of Catch (t)',cuts=Gridcol$cuts,cols=Gridcol$cols,width=24,
     fontsize=0.75,lwd=1) 
dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

5.3. Adding legends

A simple way to quickly add a legend, is by using the base legend() function:

?legend

To position the legend, the add_Cscale() function can generate legend coordinates which correspond to the top-left corner of the legend box. These may be adjusted using the ‘pos’, ‘height’ and ‘offset’ arguments within add_Cscale(), e.g.:

Legend_Coordinates=add_Cscale(pos='2/3',offset=1000,height=40,mode="Legend")

#Adding a color scale and a legend

#Create some point data
MyPoints=create_Points(PointData)

#Crop the bathymetry to match the extent of MyPoints (extended extent)
BathyCr=crop(SmallBathy(),extend(ext(MyPoints),100000))

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.5.png',width=2000,height=1200,res=300,bg="transparent")

#Plot the bathymetry
plot(BathyCr,breaks=Depth_cuts,col=Depth_cols,legend=F,axes=F,mar=c(0,0.1,0,6))
#Add a color scale
add_Cscale(pos='3/8',height=50,maxVal=-1,minVal=-4000,fontsize=0.75,lwd=1,width=16)

#Plot points with different symbols and colors (see ?points)
par(xpd=T)
Psymbols=c(21,22,23,24)
Pcolors=c('red','green','blue','yellow')
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints[MyPoints$name=='one',]),pch=Psymbols[1],bg=Pcolors[1],add=T)
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints[MyPoints$name=='two',]),pch=Psymbols[2],bg=Pcolors[2],add=T)
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints[MyPoints$name=='three',]),pch=Psymbols[3],bg=Pcolors[3],add=T)
plot(st_geometry(MyPoints[MyPoints$name=='four',]),pch=Psymbols[4],bg=Pcolors[4],add=T)

#Add legend with position determined by add_Cscale
Loc=add_Cscale(pos='8/8',mode='Legend')
legend(Loc,legend=c('one','two','three','four'),
       title='Vessel',pch=Psymbols,pt.bg=Pcolors,xpd=T,
       box.lwd=1,cex=0.75,pt.cex=1,y.intersp=0.7,bg="white")
dev.off()

#>   2

For a more complete and customizable approach, use the add_Legend() function. It uses the bounding box of your plot and lists of parameters as inputs. The help given in the R package contains all the details:

?add_Legend

Below is an example showing its capabilities:

#load ASDs to get their bounding box
ASDs=load_ASDs()
bb=st_bbox(ASDs) #Get bounding box
bx=st_as_sfc(bb) #Convert to polygon to plot it

# Set general options:
LegOpt=list( 
Title= "Title",
Subtitle="(Subtitle)",
Pos = "bottomright",
BoxW= 80,
BoxH= 170,
Boxexp = c(5,-2,-4,-4),
Titlefontsize = 2
)

#Create separate legend items, each with their own options:

5.4. Adding labels

To add labels, use the add_labels() function:

?add_labels

Three modes are available within the add_labels() function:

In ‘auto’ mode, labels are placed at the centres of polygon parts of spatial objects loaded via the load_ functions.
In ‘manual’ mode, users may click on their plot to position labels. An editable label table is generated to allow fine-tuning of labels appearance, and may be saved for later use. To edit the label table, double-click inside one of its cells, edit the value, then close the table.
In ‘input’ mode, a label table that was generated in ‘manual’ mode is re-used.

#Example 1: 'auto' mode
#label ASDs in bold and red
ASDs=load_ASDs()

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.7.png',width=2000,height=1600,res=300,bg="white")
#set plot margins as c(bottom, left, top, right)
par(mai=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(st_geometry(ASDs))
add_labels(mode='auto',layer='ASDs',fontsize=0.75,fonttype=2,col='red')
#add MPAs and EEZs and their labels in large, green and vertical text
MPAs=load_MPAs()
EEZs=load_EEZs()
plot(st_geometry(MPAs),add=TRUE,border='green')
plot(st_geometry(EEZs),add=TRUE,border='green')
add_labels(mode='auto',layer=c('EEZs','MPAs'),fontsize=1,col='green',angle=90)
dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

#Example 2: 'auto' and 'input' modes
#This example is not executed here because it needs user interaction.
#Please copy and paste it in the Console to see how it works.

#Prepare a basemap
plot(SmallBathy())
ASDs=load_ASDs()
plot(st_geometry(ASDs),add=T)

#Build your labels
MyLabels=add_labels(mode='manual') 

#Re-use the label table generated (if desired)
plot(SmallBathy())
plot(st_geometry(ASDs),add=T)
add_labels(mode='input',LabelTable=MyLabels)

5.5. Using sf

Due to the retirement of some packages that the CCAMLRGIS package used to rely on, since CCAMLRGIS V4.0.0 the package relies on the sf package, users may need to familiarize themselves with it. Using sf objects has advantages such as the ability to use Tidyverse methods. Further, additional plotting methods are available, some of which are described in this section.

Depending on the function used, the CCAMLRGIS package computes data summaries and includes them in the resulting spatial object. For example, create_Polys takes any numerical values included in the Input data frame and computes, for each polygon, the minimum, maximum, mean, median, sum, count and standard deviation of values associated with each polygon. The sf package has some useful plotting methods, some of which are shown below.

#First, let's create some example polygons
MyPolys=create_Polys(PolyData)

#MyPolys is an sf object; it is a data frame that includes a column named 'geometry':
kableExtra::kable(MyPolys,row.names = F)

ID	Catch_min	Nfishes_min	n_min	Catch_max	Nfishes_max	n_max	Catch_mean	Nfishes_mean	n_mean	Catch_sum	Nfishes_sum	n_sum	Catch_count	Nfishes_count	n_count	Catch_sd	Nfishes_sd	n_sd	Catch_median	Nfishes_median	n_median	geometry	AreaKm2	Labx	Laby
one	52.61262	11	1	71.65909	329	4	64.17380	172.5000	2.5	256.6952	690	10	4	4	4	9.084736	153.3917	1.290994	66.21175	175.0	2.5	POLYGON ((-290035.9 -164487…	187281.3	-170519.8	-1949051
two	23.12032	116	5	73.49383	954	8	51.94951	505.0000	6.5	207.7980	2020	26	4	4	4	22.264999	428.9188	1.290994	55.59195	475.0	6.5	POLYGON ((-423880.7 -240394…	95294.2	0.0	-2483470
three	10.23393	13	9	95.57774	988	14	52.50313	412.3333	11.5	315.0188	2474	69	6	6	6	32.152675	382.8685	1.870829	54.15367	341.5	11.5	POLYGON ((480755.1 -2726497…	361556.2	786933.1	-2846388

The ‘geometry’ column contains the locations of each point of a given polygon (each row), and can be plotted using plot(st_geometry(MyPolys)), as shown previously in this document. Alternatively, one can use plot(MyPolys) directly:

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.8.png',width=2000,height=1600,res=300,bg="white")

plot(MyPolys)
#> Warning: plotting the first 9 out of 25 attributes; use max.plot = 25 to plot
#> all

dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

This results in a warning Warning: plotting the first 9 out of 25 attributes… and a 9-panel plot as shown above, with each panel corresponding to each column present in MyPolys and automatic colors generated according to the values in each column. In order to plot only one variable, it must be named in the plotting command:

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.9.png',width=2000,height=1000,res=300,bg="white")

plot(MyPolys["Catch_mean"])

dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

There are several available options, for example:

png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.10.png',width=2000,height=1000,res=300,bg="white")

Gr=st_graticule(MyPolys,lon=seq(-180,180,by=5),lat=seq(-80,0,by=2.5))
plot(MyPolys["Catch_mean"],
     graticule=Gr,axes=T,key.pos=1,key.width=0.2,key.length=0.8,breaks=seq(50,65,by=2.5))

dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

Where:

key.pos controls the color legend position as 1=below, 2=left, 3=above and 4=right,
key.width and key.length control the size of the color legend,
breaks controls the classes,
The function st_graticule generates a Lat/Lon grid.

Additionally, sf objects can be plotted using ggplot2. For example:

library(ggplot2)
png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.11.png',width=2000,height=1000,res=300,bg="white")

ggplot() + 
  geom_sf(data = MyPolys, aes(fill = Catch_mean))

dev.off()
#> png 
#>   2

Using ggplot2 and gridExtra, multi-panel plots can be drawn:

library(gridExtra)
png(filename='ReadMeFigs/ReadMe_Fig5.12.png',width=2000,height=1400,res=300,bg="white")

map1 <- ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = MyPolys, aes(fill = Catch_mean)) + 
  labs(title="Mean catch")

map2 <- ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = MyPolys, aes(fill = Catch_sd)) + 
  labs(title="S.D. of catch")

map3 <- ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = MyPolys, aes(fill = AreaKm2)) + 
  labs(title="Polygon area")

grid.arrange(map1, map2, map3, ncol=2)
dev.off()
