R: Plot a windrose Object

plot,windrose-method {oce} | R Documentation

## Plot a windrose Object

### Description

Plot a windrose object.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'windrose'
    plot(
      x,
      type = c("count", "mean", "median", "fivenum"),
      convention = c("meteorological", "oceanographic"),
      mgp = getOption("oceMgp"),
      mar = c(mgp[1], mgp[1], 1 + mgp[1], mgp[1]),
      col,
      ...
    )

### Arguments

`x` | a windrose object.
`type` | The thing to be plotted, either the number of counts in the angle interval, the mean of the values in the interval, the median of the values, or a `fivenum()` representation of the values.
`convention` | String indicating whether to use meteorological convention or oceanographic convention for the arrows that emanate from the centre of the rose. In meteorological convection, an arrow emanates towards the right on the diagram if the wind is from the east; in oceanographic convention, such an arrow indicates flow to the east.
`mgp` | Three-element numerical vector to use for `par``(mgp)`, and also for `par``(mar)`, computed from this. The default is tighter than the R default, in order to use more space for the data and less for the axes.
`mar` | Four-element numerical vector to be used with `par``("mar")`.
`col` | Optional list of colors to use. If not set, the colors will be `c("red", "pink", "blue", "lightgray")`. For the first three types of plot, the first color in this list is used to fill in the rose, the third is used for the petals of the rose, and the fourth is used for grid lines. For the `"fivenum"` type, the first color is used for the inter-quartile range, the second is used outside this range, the third is used for the median, and the fourth is, again, used for the grid lines.
`...` | Optional arguments passed to plotting functions.
