allow colors for each individual track in tail_colour

[J4SJA]

Firstly: fantastic package. We are using it to visualise GPS-tagged white tailed eagles for the general public. Much more insightful than static maps. See www.werkgroepzeearend.nl

I managed to color the trace of movements in the same color as the path, by adding trace_colour = c("red","green","blue","yellow") in frames_spatial (this dataset has four individuals. However this gives a funny tail that blends to white and then becomes the trace. tail_colour seems to accept one color only. Attempts to add more resulted in a Error in $<-.data.frame(tmp, "tail_colour", value = c("red", "green", : replacement has 4 rows, data has 10349 .

Tried a hacky approach by adding a m$colour field, and then tail_colour = m$colour then same a different name (m$kleur) but this gave the same error.

It would be cool if the tail can be coloured the same as the path and trace, or if there already is a way to do this.

Thanks for the feedback. Good point, will equalize the behavior of all colour arguments, including the ability to look for a dedicated column name in m.
