Plot Met Data

Description

Creates a multi-panel summary plot of data measured in a meteorological data set. cast. The panels are controlled by the which argument. Normally, 4 panels are specified with the which, but it can also be useful to specify less than 4 panels, and then to draw other panels after this call.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'met'
plot(x, which = 1:4, mgp = getOption("oceMgp"),
  mar = c(mgp[1] + 1, mgp[1] + 1, mgp[1] + 1, mgp[1] + 1), tformat,
  debug = getOption("oceDebug"), ...)

Arguments

x

A met object, e.g. as read by read.met, or a list containing items named salinity and temperature.

which

list of desired plot types.

  • which=1 gives a time-series plot of temperature

  • which=2 gives a time-series plot of pressure

  • which=3 gives a time-series plot of the x (eastward) component of velocity

  • which=4 gives a time-series plot of the y (northward) component of velocity

mgp

A three-element numerical vector to use for par(mgp) to control spacing of axis elements. The default is tighter than the R default, in order to use more space for the data and less for the axes.

mar

A four-element numerical vector to be used with par("mar").

tformat

optional argument passed to oce.plot.ts, for plot types that call that function. (See strptime for the format used.)

debug

an integer specifying whether debugging information is to be printed during the processing. This is a general parameter that is used by many oce functions. Generally, setting debug=0 turns off the printing, while higher values suggest that more information be printed.

...

optional arguments passed to plotting functions.

Details

If more than one panel is drawn, then on exit from plot.met, the value of par will be reset to the value it had before the function call. However, if only one panel is drawn, the adjustments to par made within plot.met are left in place, so that further additions may be made to the plot.
