This function introduces a simplified merge for recording data and location data. Regular merge methods can be destructive and therefore impact recording selection. This method provides checks to prevent this from happening.

mergelocations(
  data = NULL,
  locationdata = NULL,
  locationname = "location",
  Latitude = "Latitude",
  Longitude = "Longitude"
)

Arguments

data

Selection data.frame as created by the getwavs() function. Must contain the location column for merging.

locationdata

Location data.frame containing the locations that match with recording selection and their coordinates.

locationname

String column name for locations in your locationdata file if differs from default: location.

Latitude

String column name for Latitude in your locationdata file if differs from default: Latitude.

Longitude

String column name for Longitude in your locationdata file if differs from default: Longitude.

Examples

data <- mergelocations(data,locationdata,locationname = "Location")
