Render Compass Symbol
Places a compass on the map to specify the North direction.
render_compass( angle = 0, position = "SE", x = NULL, y = NULL, z = NULL, compass_radius = NULL, scale_distance = 1, color_n = "darkred", color_arrow = "grey90", color_background = "grey60", color_bevel = "grey20", position_circular = FALSE, clear_compass = FALSE )
angle |
Default '0'. The direction the arrow should be facing. |
position |
Default 'SE'. A string representing a cardinal direction. Ignored if 'x', 'y', and 'z' are manually specified. |
x |
Default 'NULL'. X position. If not entered, automatically calculated using 'position' argument. |
y |
Default 'NULL'. Y position. If not entered, automatically calculated using 'position' argument. |
z |
Default 'NULL'. Z position. If not entered, automatically calculated using 'position' argument. |
compass_radius |
Default 'NULL'. The radius of the compass. If not entered, automatically calculated. Increase or decrease the size of the compass. |
scale_distance |
Default '1'. Multiplier that moves the compass away from the center of the map. |
color_n |
Default 'darkred'. Color of the letter N. |
color_arrow |
Default 'grey90'. Color of the arrow. |
color_background |
Default 'grey20'. Color of the area right under the arrow. |
color_bevel |
Default 'grey20'. Color of the bevel. |
position_circular |
Default 'FALSE'. If 'TRUE', will place compass at a constant radius away from the map, as opposed to directly next to it. Overridden if user manually specifies position. |
clear_compass |
Default 'FALSE'. Clears the compass symbol(s) on the map. |
Adds compass to map. No return value.
