Dear all,
I have just discovered an error in a package that I have already uploaded to
CRAN, and cannot figure out how to fix it. All help will be greatly appreciated.
The package is called DEPONS2R, and is available from:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/DEPONS2R/index.html
The problem is related to one of the included examples, where I plot the
coastline
on top of a raster file. In the example, where the plotting is embedded in
an S4 method called plot.DeponsRaster, the coastline does not show. But if
I run the functions that the method is composed of, everything works fine (see
below). So I am wondering if the graphics devise is not passed on correctly
within the package, or what actually happens.
The example that does not run correctly is available from ?plot.DeponsRaster:
library(DEPONS2R)
data("bathymetry")
plot(bathymetry)
data("coastline")
library(rgdal)
# Change projection of coastline to match that of bathymetry data
coastline2 <- spTransform(coastline, crs(bathymetry))
plot(coastline2, add=TRUE, col="lightyellow2")
Here the coastline is not plotted. The method is defined as:
setMethod("plot", signature("DeponsRaster", "ANY"),
function(x, y, maxpixels=500000, col, alpha=NULL, colNA=NA,
add=FALSE,
ext=NULL, useRaster=TRUE, interpolate=FALSE, addfun=NULL,
nc, nr, maxnl=16, main, npretty=0, axes=TRUE,
legend=TRUE, trackToPlot=1, ...) {
oldpar <- graphics::par(no.readonly = TRUE)
on.exit(graphics::par(oldpar))
if (missing(main)) {
main <- paste(x@landscape, x@type, sep=" - ")
}
# Define colours specific or 'type'
if(missing(col) && x@type=="bathymetry") {
tmp.col <- grDevices::rainbow(1000)[501:800]
col <- c(tmp.col[1:100], rep(tmp.col[101:250], each=5))
}
# Use {raster}-package for plotting
if(x@crs=="NA") {
crs2 <- sp::CRS(as.character(NA))
} else {
crs2 <- sp::CRS(x@crs)
}
rdata <- raster::raster(x=x@data, xmn=x@ext$xleft,
xmx=x@ext$xright,
ymn=x@ext$ybottom, ymx=x@ext$ytop,
crs=crs2)
raster::plot(rdata, col=col, main=main,
alpha=alpha, add=add, ext=ext, axes=axes,
legend=legend)
}
)
But when I use the functions that are at the core of this method it is
not a problem adding the coastline correctly:
x <- bathymetry
crs2 <- raster::crs(x@crs)
rdata <- raster::raster(x = x@data, xmn = x@ext$xleft,
xmx = x@ext$xright, ymn = x@ext$ybottom, ymx = x@ext$ytop,
crs = crs2)
raster::plot(rdata)
plot(coastline2, add=TRUE, col="lightyellow2")
If would be fantastic if someone can figure out how I should modify the method
to plot the coastline correctly on top of the map.
I'm not sure exactly what is going wrong, but if you plot the coastline
first and the bathymetry second, things do show up. Maybe that's enough
of a hint for you:
library(DEPONS2R)
data("coastline")
library(rgdal)
coastline2 <- spTransform(coastline, crs(bathymetry))
plot(coastline2, col="lightyellow2")
data("bathymetry")
plot(bathymetry, add=TRUE)
This puts the legend on top of the plotted coastline data, so my guess
is that the limits of the bathymetry plot aren't being made available to
the coastline plot when you do things in the original order.
