Meta-object containing paths to a unique plate tectonic model
Usage
# S4 method for platemodel
initialize(
.Object,
rotation = NULL,
features = NULL,
name = NULL,
polygons = NULL
)Arguments
- .Object
Constructor argument (not needed).
- rotation
(
character) The path to the rotation file.- features
(
character) Named vector of features with the paths to the individual files.- name
(
character) (Optional) name of the model.- polygons
(
character) (Deprecated) The path to the static plate polygon file.
Examples
# path to provided archive
archive <- file.path(
system.file("extdata", package="rgplates"),
"paleomap_v3.zip")
# extract to temporary directory
unzip(archive, exdir=tempdir())
# path to the rotation file
rotPath <- file.path(tempdir(),
"PALEOMAP_PlateModel.rot")
# path to the polygons
polPath <- file.path(tempdir(),
"PALEOMAP_PlatePolygons.gpml")
# register in R - to be used in reconstruct()
model <- platemodel(rotation=rotPath, features=c("static_polygons"=polPath))
