Creates an Rpath object from an EwE exported model (EIIXML format)

Source: R/xml_convert.r
create.rpath.from.eiixml.Rd

Parses an eiixml file exported using the Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) GUI into an unbalanced Rpath model object, which can then be balanced. This function was tested on files exported by EwE version 6.7.

Usage

create.rpath.from.eiixml(eiifile, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

eiifile

Path to exported EwE XML file

verbose

Logical. Use for debugging. If TRUE, prints out a list of parsed tables and number of rows read from the XML file

Value

An Rpath object (list) with the following components:

stanzas

Stanza parameters

pedigree

Pedigree parameters

diet

Diet parameters

model

Model parameters

Examples

# Import an eiixml file previously exported from the EwE GUI, check that the
# unbalanced model is functional, recalculate age-structured groups based on
# imported stanza parameters (if the imported model has stanzas), and balance
# the model.
eiixml <- system.file("extdata/xml/Western_Bering_Sea.eiixml", package = "Rpath")
rpath_object <- create.rpath.from.eiixml(eiixml)
check.rpath.params(rpath_object)
#> Rpath parameter file is functional. 
rpath_object <- rpath.stanzas(rpath_object)
rpath_balanced <- rpath(rpath_object)
