geom_edges function

Link neighbors by arrow on a chessboard

Links neighbors (cells) on a chessboard plotted with gg_chessboard().

geom_edges(nodes, focus, neighbors)

Arguments

• nodes: a data.frame with (at least) the following three columns: node, transect, and quadrats. Must be the output if the function create_node_labels().
• focus: an character of length 1. The node label to be emphasized on the chessboard. Must exist in the nodes object.
• neighbors: a data.frame with the following at least three columns: node, transect, and quadrats. See pawn(), fool(), etc. for further information.

Returns

A geom_segment that must be added to a ggplot2 object.

Examples

library("chessboard")

sites_infos <- expand.grid("transect" = 1:9, "quadrat" = 1:9)

nodes <- create_node_labels(data     = sites_infos, 
                            transect = "transect", 
                            quadrat  = "quadrat")

focus <- "5-5"

neighbors <- wizard(nodes, focus = focus, degree = 4, directed = FALSE, 
                    reverse = TRUE)
