Home range value bar plot

[NoonanM]

After updating the app, I've noticed that the home range plots don't seem to be rendering.

I didn't see problem in my end. Can you try the latest version and check if there is error message in console?

And, what data are you using?

[NoonanM]

I'm using the newest version of the app. Everything is running, it's just not rendering correctly in my browsers (I'm using Safari).

NOTE: It's rendering correctly on the map page.

Any warning in console? Did you try other browser like chrome? Alternatively you can try increasing the plot size in the variogram control box (it apply to all similar plots in model/home range/occurence pages).

My guess is it's the plot margin. For base plot you have to specify margin numbers, sometimes it doesn't play well with certain configuration.

Increasing the plot size didn't work. I'll try again later on a different browser and see if there's any difference.

Any error message on console?

@NoonanM You can also send the data and the steps you used (a work report should be enough) to me if that's possible.

@NoonanM Let's try this method:

• Open vignettes/package_usage.rmd in ctmmweb package with RStudio (pull the newest version).
• Run all chunks (not rendering the rmd. I want to stay in the session so we can experiment different parameters).
• Check if the home range plots in Home range section can be plotted properly.
  • if you met the same problem, try different parameters like this to see if it can be shown

dev.off()
plot_ud(hrange_list_sub2, columns = 2, cex = 0.50)

cex is the magnified ratio of plot titles. I used a bigger value in app (0.72). If you have a bigger font size in system, you may need a smaller magnified ratio for it to be displayed properly. These hardwired parameters in base plot are really annoying when you have complex plots and different platforms.

I'm travelling this week, but I'll look into this in detail next week.

@NoonanM After 2 hours work, the page length is preserved now across session. So it will be kept same as long as you didn't quit the app. I think this should be fine even if user loaded multiple data sets.

@NoonanM Can you send me an example of the home range plot you mentioned?

[NoonanM]

I didn't have time to make an example, so just borrowed one from a google search, but it would look something like this (but with confidence intervals on the bar chart)

[xhdong-umd]

If this plot is mainly about home range value and confidence interval, I'm inclined to make it just like the overlap page plot. It will put animals in y axis which is a little bit counter intuitive but with some reasons:

• with lots of individual, the plot can scroll in height easily. If it's in x axix, horizontal scrolling will be more awkward.
• we can make home range table order match the plot items order, so putting animals in y has a better mapping to that table.
