Arguments

x

object of class stars
y

ignored
...

further arguments: for plot, passed on to image.stars; for image, passed on to image.default or rasterImage.
join_zlim

logical; if TRUE, compute a single, joint zlim (color scale) for all subplots from x
main

character; subplot title prefix; use "" to get only time, use NULL to suppress subplot titles
axes

logical; should axes and box be added to the plot?
downsample

logical or numeric; if TRUE will try to plot not many more pixels than actually are visible, if FALSE, no downsampling takes place, if numeric, the downsampling rate; see Details.
nbreaks

number of color breaks; should be one more than number of colors. If missing and col is specified, it is derived from that.
breaks

actual color breaks, or a method name used for classIntervals.
col

colors to use for grid cells
key.pos

integer; side to plot a color key: 1 bottom, 2 left, 3 top, 4 right; set to NULL to omit key. Ignored if multiple columns are plotted in a single function call. Default depends on plot size, map aspect, and, if set, parameter asp.
key.width

amount of space reserved for width of the key (labels); relative or absolute (using lcm)
key.length

amount of space reserved for length of the key (labels); relative or absolute (using lcm)
reset

logical; if FALSE, keep the plot in a mode that allows adding further map elements; if TRUE restore original mode after plotting; see details.
box_col

color for box around sub-plots; use 0 to suppress plotting of boxes around sub-plots.
center_time

logical; if TRUE, sub-plot titles will show the center of time intervals, otherwise their start
hook

NULL or function; hook function that will be called on every sub-plot.
mfrow

length-2 integer vector with nrows, ncolumns of a composite plot, to override the default layout
band

integer; which band (dimension) to plot
attr

integer; which attribute to plot
asp

numeric; aspect ratio of image
rgb

integer; specify three bands to form an rgb composite. Experimental: rgb color table; see Details.
maxColorValue

numeric; passed on to rgb
xlab

character; x axis label
ylab

character; y axis label
xlim

x axis limits
ylim

y axis limits
text_values

logical; print values as text on image?
text_color

character; color for printed text values
interpolate

logical; when using rasterImage (rgb), should pixels be interpolated?
as_points

logical; for curvilinear or sheared grids: parameter passed on to st_as_sf, determining whether raster cells will be plotted as symbols (fast, approximate) or small polygons (slow, exact)
logz

logical; if TRUE, use log10-scale for the attribute variable. In that case, breaks and at need to be given as log10-values; see examples.
add.geom

object of class sfc, or list with arguments to plot, that will be added to an image or sub-image
border

color used for cell borders (only in case x is a curvilinear or rotated/sheared grid)
useRaster

logical; use the rasterImage capabilities of the graphics device?
extent

object which has a st_bbox method; sets the plotting extent

Details

Downsampling: a value for downsample of 0 or 1 causes no downsampling, 2 that every second dimension value is sampled, 3 that every third dimension value is sampled, and so on; can be specified for each dimension.

use of an rgb color table is experimental; see https://github.com/r-spatial/mapview/issues/208

when plotting a subsetted stars_proxy object, the default value for argument downsample will not be computed correctly, and it and has to be set manually.

Examples

tif = system.file("tif/L7_ETMs.tif", package = "stars")
x = read_stars(tif)
image(x, col = grey((3:9)/10))

image(x, rgb = c(1,3,5)) # rgb composite

#> Error in image.stars(x, rgb = c(1, 3, 5)): rgb plotting not supported on this device
