Add scalebar to frames

This function adds a scalebar to the animation frames created with frames_spatial.

add_scalebar(frames, distance = NULL, height = 0.015,
  position = "bottomleft", x = NULL, y = NULL, colour = "black",
  label_margin = 1.2, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

frames	list of ggplot2 objects, crated with frames_spatial.
distance	numeric, optional. Distance displayed by the scalebar in km. By default, the displayed distance is calculated automatically.
height	numeric, height of the scalebar in a range from 0 to 1 as the proportion of the overall height of the frame map. Default is 0.015.
position	character, position of the scalebar on the map. Either "bottomleft", "upperleft", "upperright", "bottomright". Ignored, if x and y are set.
x	numeric, position of the bottom left corner of the scalebar on the x axis. If not set, position is used to calculate the position of the scalebar.
y	numeric, position of the bottom left corner of the scalebar on the y axis. If not set, position is used to calculate the position of the scalebar.
colour	character, colour of the distance labels. Default is "black".
label_margin	numeric, distance of the labels to the scalebar as a proportion of the height of the scalebar (e.g. if set to 2, the labels will be positioned with a distance to the scalebar of twice the scalebar height).
verbose	logical, if TRUE, messages on the function's progress are displayed (default).

Value

List of frames.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(moveVis)
library(move)

data("move_data", "basemap_data")
m <- align_move(move_data, res = 4, unit = "mins")

# create spatial frames using a custom NDVI base layer
r_list <- basemap_data[[1]]
r_times <- basemap_data[[2]]

# }# NOT RUN {
frames <- frames_spatial(m, r_list = r_list, r_times = r_times, r_type = "gradient",
                         fade_raster = TRUE)

# add a scale bar to frames:
frames.a <- add_scalebar(frames)
frames.a[[100]]

# or in white at another position
frames.b <- add_scalebar(frames, colour = "white", position = "bottomright")
frames.b[[100]]

# or with another height
frames.c <- add_scalebar(frames, colour = "white", position = "bottomright", height = 0.025)
frames.c[[100]]
# }
