rasterVis::streamplot with colorkey

3 messages · Ben Tupper, Chris English

Hello,

We have wind data that we would like to draw with rasterVis::streamplot(). We would like to include a colorkey to associate with the region but it seems that deep down rasterVis::streamplot has hardwired `colorkey = FALSE`  I'm not sure how to circumvent this to allow for a color key. So, in brief...  

How do I draw a streamplot with a colorkey?

Below is my example and sessionInfo() output.

Thanks so much,
Ben

### begin example
library(raster)
library(rasterVis)
library(RColorBrewer)

V = volcano/10
V = V - mean(V)
U = V[nrow(V):1,]

V = raster::raster(V)
U = raster::raster(U)
S = raster::stack(U,V)

rasterVis::streamplot(S,
    isField = 'dXY',
    par.settings = rasterVis::streamTheme(
        region = rev(RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(n=4, name= 'Greys')),
        symbol = hexbin::BTC(n=9,beg=20)),
    droplet = list(pc = 1),
    scales = list(draw = TRUE),
    colorkey = TRUE) 

# Error in .local(x, data, ...) : 
#  formal argument "colorkey" matched by multiple actual arguments

Ben,

Not so much hard wired (colorkey) but coming in a couple of times so which
to use? As kind of explained here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34320868/map-with-panel-plots,

and further, more directly on rasterVis from Augustin Lobo:
http://rpubs.com/alobo/rasterVis_Intro1

which looks like it will get you to the results you want, though I haven't
worked it through your example.
HTH,
Chris

Hi,

Thanks so much for the tips!

Today the package author has kindly added a colorkey argument to streamplot function with a FALSE default value.  Setting it to TRUE draws the colorkey.  Woooohooo!
