plot data on base of lon&lat

I don't completely understand your question, but is it perhaps that
west longitude is often represented as negative?

Otherwise, please provide a reproducible example, using data from the
cogizam package if you'd like, or at least a clear guide to where
you've found this example and how it differs from your own data.

Hi groups


i want plot of phytoplankton density on base of Lon & lat, as same as
the description on the cozigam package.

but the main problem is the form of matrix Lon parameters in the example
on eggdata that is negative ,how changed the longitude to this form ?

thanks all

Hello Mahnaz,
   Longitude is often expressed as distance or angle east of the prime meridian, so negative means it is west.  If I am reading your question correctly, you are wondering how to change the longitude to make it negative?  If so, you could create a new variable that is -1 times the original latitude for west coordinates, as in this example:
newlongitude <- -1 * oldlongitude
If the coordinates are for the eastern hemisphere you should leave them as positive values.
