R: Seasonal plot

seasonplot {forecast} | R Documentation

## Seasonal plot

### Description

Plots a seasonal plot as described in Hyndman and Athanasopoulos (2014, chapter 2). This is like a time plot except that the data are plotted against the seasons in separate years.

### Usage

    seasonplot(x, s, season.labels=NULL, year.labels=FALSE,
        year.labels.left=FALSE, type="o", main, xlab=NULL, ylab="",
        col=1, labelgap=0.1, ...)

    ggseasonplot(x, year.labels=FALSE, year.labels.left=FALSE,
        type=NULL, col=NULL, continuous=FALSE, polar=FALSE,
        labelgap=0.04, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a numeric vector or time series.
`s` | seasonal frequency of x
`season.labels` | Labels for each season in the "year"
`year.labels` | Logical flag indicating whether labels for each year of data should be plotted on the right.
`year.labels.left` | Logical flag indicating whether labels for each year of data should be plotted on the left.
`type` | plot type (as for `plot`). Not yet supported for ggseasonplot.
`main` | Main title.
`xlab` | X-axis label.
`ylab` | Y-axis label.
`col` | Colour
`continuous` | Should the colour scheme for years be continuous or discrete?
`polar` | Plot the graph on seasonal coordinates
`labelgap` | Distance between year labels and plotted lines
`...` | additional arguments to `plot`.

### Value

None.
