R: Plot Met Data

plot,met-method {oce} | R Documentation

## 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.
