plot_wl(data, geo_id, ...)

Arguments

data

List. Containing climate, elevation and latitude data sets. Structured by ce_extract().

geo_id

Character. Corresponding to a specific feature contained in the "location" argument (specifically in the "location_g" column).

...

Examples

# Step 1. Import the Italian Biome polygon data
# Step 2. Run the download function
# Step 3. Run the extract function
#* See ce_download & ce_extract documentation

# Steps 1, 2 & 3 can be skipped by loading the extracted data (it_data)
data("it_data", package = "climenv")

# Step 4. Visualise the climatic envelope using a Walter-Lieth diagram
