marmap: is there a way to find other handles aside from "nw.atlantic" and "hawaii"?

[timmaflanagan]

Hi there! i am looking to use a handle for the "Pacific North west" of the US. Does marmap have any documentation on how to find specific handles like this?

Is there another way aside from using the tag to choose the location?

This is an example that uses the handle/tag I am referring to:

NOT RUN {

load NW Atlantic data

data(nw.atlantic)

nw.atlantic and hawaii are just 2 toy datasets we decided to include with marmap in order to illustrate some of the functions of the package. But since the maximum size of packages is limited by CRAN policies, we can't pack-in too many regions. If you want the list of available datasets pre-packaged with marmap, just try data(package = "marmap").

So, if you need to access a specific area, you'll have to use getNOAA.bathy() to specify and manually download the data from the ETOPO1 database on NOAA servers, with the added advantage that you'll be able to specify the desired resolution for the area.

Best.

Thank you so much! This is very helpful. Best,

Hello! I have another question, is it possible to change the colours of image C and D? I am finding, for my plots that I cannot make the distinction clear with regards to where land is/isnt. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0073051

Well, this is not really a marmap question... If you take a look at the 3D plotting section of the vignette("marmap-DataAnalysis), you'll see that these figures are created with lattice:wireframe(). So you need to dig into this function help file. Here is also a good post about your specific question.
