EGRET (version 2.3.0)

genericEGRETDotPlot: Generic EGRET plotting function

Description

Basic plotting framework for EGRET dot plots. Graphical parameters default to values that work well with most plots, but all can be re-assigned. See ?par for complete definitions of most optional input variables.

Usage

genericEGRETDotPlot(x, y, xlim, ylim, xTicks, yTicks, printTitle = TRUE,
  xaxs = "i", xlab = "", yaxs = "i", ylab = "", plotTitle = "",
  pch = 20, cex = 0.7, cex.main = 1.3, font.main = 2, cex.lab = 1.2,
  tcl = 0.5, cex.axis = 1, las = 1, xDate = FALSE, tinyPlot = FALSE,
  hLine = FALSE, oneToOneLine = FALSE, rmSciX = FALSE, rmSciY = FALSE,
  customPar = FALSE, col = "black", lwd = 1, showXLabels = TRUE,
  showYLabels = TRUE, showXAxis = TRUE, showYAxis = TRUE,
  removeFirstX = FALSE, removeLastX = FALSE, removeFirstY = FALSE,
  removeLastY = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

vector specifying the x data (required)

y

vector specifying the y data (required)

xlim

vector specifying the x plotting range (required)

ylim

vector specifying the y plotting range (required)

xTicks

vector specifying x axis tick placement (required)

yTicks

vector specifying y axis tick placement (required)

printTitle

logical defaults to TRUE, plotting parameter to control whether to have title

xaxs

character defaults to "i", defines the style of x-axis interval calculation. Possible values are i, r, e, s, d.

xlab

character defaults to "", defines the x label

yaxs

character defaults to "i", defines the style of y-axis interval calculation. Possible values are i, r, e, s, d.

ylab

character defaults to "", defines the y label

plotTitle

character defaults to "", defines the plot title

pch

number defaults to 20, specifies plot symbol

cex

number defaults to 0.7, specifies plotting text magnification

cex.main

number defaults to 1.3, specifies title text magnification

font.main

number defaults to 2, specifies which font to use for text

cex.lab

number defaults to 1.2 specifies label text magnification

tcl

number defaults to 0.5, specifies length of tick marks as fraction of height of a line of text.

cex.axis

number defaults to 1, specifies axis text magnification

las

number represents style of axis labels

xDate

logical defaults to FALSE, changes x label to "year-month" format if set to TRUE and total years less than 4.

tinyPlot

logical defaults to FALSE, if TRUE, changes defaults to be appropriate for multi-plot

hLine

logical defaults to FALSE, inserts horizontal line at zero

oneToOneLine

logical defaults to FALSE, inserts 1:1 line

rmSciX

logical defaults to FALSE, changes x label from scientific to fixed

rmSciY

logical defaults to FALSE, changes y label from scientific to fixed

customPar

logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, par() should be set by user before calling this function

col

color of points on plot, see ?par 'Color Specification'

lwd

number line width

showXLabels

logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the x axis label is not plotted

showYLabels

logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the y axis label is not plotted

showXAxis

logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the x axis is not plotted

showYAxis

logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the y axis is not plotted

removeFirstX

logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the first x axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.

removeLastX

logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the last x axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.

removeFirstY

logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the first y axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.

removeLastY

logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the last y axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.

...

additional graphical parameters can be adjusted

Examples

eList <- Choptank_eList
Daily <- getDaily(eList)
x <- Daily$Date
y <- Daily$Q
xlim <- c(min(x),max(x))
ylim <- c(min(y),1.05*max(y))
xlab <- "Date"
ylab <- "Flow"
xTicks <- pretty(xlim)
yTicks <- pretty(ylim)
genericEGRETDotPlot(x=x, y=y,
                    xlim=xlim, ylim=ylim,
                    xlab=xlab, ylab=ylab,
                    xTicks=xTicks, yTicks=yTicks,
                    plotTitle="Test"
)
