Prepare and summarize food web model for plotting by generating x-values for node locations and creating a data frame of all trophic connections. This function could also be used to build custom plotting functions.
Arguments
- Rpath.obj
Rpath model created by the
rpath()
function.- fleets
Logical value indicating whether or not to include fishing fleets in the food web.
- box.order
Vector of box numbers to change the default plot order. Must include all box numbers
Value
Returns a list of length 2. The first element, pointmap
is a data table of
the functional group names, group numbers, type (0- living, 1- producer, 2- detritus, 3- fleet),
trophic level, biomass, and x.pos
which determines the x coordinate of the node
when plotting. The second element is a data table with one row for each trophic connection,
and columns for predator and prey trophic levels, predator and prey x.pos
from pointmap
,
and predator and prey group numbers (id
).
