I am plotting fishing vessel positions and want these points to be
relative in size to the catch at that point. Is this possible? I am just
begining to use R and my search of the help section didnt help in this
area. Heres what Im using so far
xyplot(data$latdeg~data$londeg |vessek , groups=vessek,
xlim=rev(range(69:77)),ylim=(range(35:42)), data=data,
main=list ("Mackerel catches", cex=1.0),
ylab="latitude", notch=T, varwidth=T,
xlab="longitude", cex.axis=0.5,)
any info would be appreciated
Hi,
What you might want is something like this:
library(maps)
data(world2MapEnv)
map("world2",xlim=c(110,160),ylim=c(-45,-10))
axis(1)
axis(2)
library(plotrix)
draw.circle(155,-30,1,col="red")
draw.circle(155,-32,1.2,col="blue")
draw.circle(153,-34,1.5,col="green")
where 1, 1.2, 1.5 are the relative sizes of catch.
Oh, and you would probably want the North Atlantic part of the map...
