Available values for fillMethod include:

• fillNA -- gaps are filled with NA (R's missing value flag)

• fillZero -- gaps are filled with 0.0

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Open a connection to EarthScope webservices
iris <- new("IrisClient")

starttime <- as.POSIXct("2002-04-20", tz="GMT")
endtime <- as.POSIXct("2002-04-21", tz="GMT")
st4 <- getDataselect(iris,"US","OXF","","BHZ",starttime,endtime)
stm4 <- mergeTraces(st4)

# plot merged trace
plot(stm4@traces[[1]])
mtext(paste(length(st4@traces),"traces"), side=3, line=0.5, adj=0.05, cex=1.5)      
}
