NBA Redlist index plot function — nba_plot

This function will create a line graph indicating the Red list index per period/year. Additionally, depending on the graph requirements it further creates a multiple line graph grouping the plot according to species, and creates a buffer parallel to the RLI line using the minimum and maximum values.

Usage

nba_plot_RLI(
  DF,
  YEAR,
  RLI,
  MIN,
  MAX,
  GROUP = NULL,
  summarise_by_year = TRUE,
  SAVE = NULL
)
