Layout Layer

Plot a layout layer.

layoutLayer(
  title = "Title of the map, year",
  sources = "",
  author = "",
  horiz = TRUE,
  col = "black",
  coltitle = "white",
  theme = NULL,
  bg = NULL,
  scale = "auto",
  posscale = "bottomright",
  frame = TRUE,
  north = FALSE,
  south = FALSE,
  extent = NULL,
  tabtitle = FALSE,
  postitle = "left"
)

Arguments

title: title of the map.
sources: sources of the map (or something else).
author: author of the map (or something else).
horiz: orientation of sources and author. TRUE for horizontal display on the bottom left corner, FALSE for vertical display on the bottom right corner.
col: color of the title box and frame border.
coltitle: color of the title.
theme: name of a cartographic palette (see carto.pal.info). col and coltitle are set according to the chosen palette.
bg: color of the frame background.
scale: size of the scale bar in kilometers. If set to FALSE, no scale bar is displayed, if set to "auto" an automatic size is used (1/10 of the map width).
posscale: position of the scale, can be "bottomright", "bottomleft" or a vector of two coordinates (c(x, y))
frame: whether displaying a frame (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
north: whether displaying a North arrow (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
south: whether displaying a South arrow (TRUE) or not (FALSE).
extent: sf object or Spatial*DataFrame; sets the extent of the frame to the one of a spatial object. (optional)
tabtitle: size of the title box either a full banner (FALSE) or a "tab" (TRUE).
postitle: position of the title, one of "left", "center", "right".

Details

If extent is not set, plot.new has to be called first.
The size of the title box in layoutLayer is fixed to 1.2 lines height.
