The very start of a poster. The hard part is over.

Thanks for starting this matt- sorry I didn't have any time so far today to 
work on it but I'm out of the lab now. How should we control the version of the 
poster? I'm going to start working on the introduction and can repost it when I 
have edits but I'm thinking that using dropbox or googledocs might be more 
efficient.

I haven't figured out this whole git version control thing on the googlecode. I 
tried to clone the whole project folder but it got stuck trying to copy 
everything over.

Googledocs works fine. I don't have a dropbox account or know how it works. 
Pick whichever one works easier.

Can google docs edit presentations?

By the way, I think we want to remove the shorebirds thing and only look at the 
seasonal figs.  The figures are largely redundant, and the shorebirds one 
doesn't really show much.

Yeah, I posted the link to the repository as an easy way to browse all
the files -- I wouldn't worry about that now other than to view stuff.

I just added the powerpoint to google docs and shared it.

From issue 5,   FIG-nspec.season.png has waaaay too much whitespace.  I'm going 
to edit this and repost it.

Attached are the code and figure for number of unique bird lists per year from 
2002-2011.

The season labels on the 4x figure are going to be too small to read. Any way 
to make them bigger? Or we could take them out and label them on the ppt

Matt:
aa = scan('tmp.csv', what='character')
xts(rep(5, length(aa)), as.Date(aa))

@Sabrina -- at 100% they're still readable if small.

That figure is actually kinda totally wrong -- I'm working on fixing it now.
I may just remove seasons altogether -- we don't address it in any text 
anyway...

Here's the figure of the *Number of Observations" over space (complementing 
matt's fig of #obs over time).

Hmm ok- I still like that figure but we can jettison if it's not going to work

Got the hurricane dates on the wind-rare bird map. These are the dates of the 
hurricanes that actually made landfall on PR. I can quickly add the dates of 
the other storm events.

I was trying to get cute and make the symbols orange with black fill like a 
hurricane flag, but bg="black" didn't work in xyplot for some reason. Code and 
figures attached. I'll put the new figure on the poster.

looks good matt- though it is a little concerning how uninformative the wind 
data seem. 

some other notes I have about the poster: 

Can someone put in the exact number of lists and the packages used into the 
methods?

I managed to import the biology logo but for some reason googledocs thinks the 
unm logo is the "wrong format" If someone can figure that out good, otherwise I 
guess we don't need logos. 

I included text about the seasonal distribution of birds- if we take out that 
figure we should take out the text 

The discussion could be beefed up a bit probably if anyone has anything else to 
add

The text might could be bigger though we might have to pare things down

Figure with "minor" i.e. hurricane/TS events that affected the island but did 
not make landfall. Smaller squares, shorter bars.

Getting to work on the baseline graphs now.

Figure for all passerines for December. Baseline number of species (we should 
be using average for each Julian day, but beats me how to do that in plyr at 
the moment) and Dec 2007 number of species. Subtropical storm Olga indicated 
with orange shading rectangle. Too tired and late to make the rectangle 
translucent etc. Do we even need this figure?

What's left on the poster besides making the figures and captions fit.

The problem with the 4-panel thing is that, as it stands, it's just plain wrong 
-- I thought I knew what it was doing.  I've been trying to correct it, but it 
turns out that 3-d smoothing/density is a total pain in the ass!

@Matt -- I really like the storms figure.  I have 2 quick comments:

1.  I'm afraid the orange is going to get washed out.  I recommend a cool color 
like blue or green?  Alternately, change the birds to cool and use red for the 
storms?

2.  Can you make the 2ndary storm plotting figure a weee bit larger?  See how 
it's plotting over the cirle at Jul2007?

I agree, the baseline fig is probably extraneous at this point.  A valiant 
effort nonetheless!

Sorry, having issues, couldn't make the new figure for some reason. It wouldn't 
update. Had to quit R and run everything again. Give me a few minutes.

Finally, how's this.

I'm done with big poster google docs! :( Illustrator/InkScape next time for me 
despite the lack of collaboration.

Very cool.  Yeah, I'm interested to see inkscape -- I usually use latex but 
that's a whole other story :)

I edited the hell out of the poster to try to get the # of words down, and 
fixed spacing.

I'm adding my last figure and code here. Sorry for the awful naming conventions.
