plotfishM: plotfishM plots the catch and optionally the cpue

Description

plotfishM uses a matrix of fishery data. It requires the matrix or data.frame to contain the columns 'year', 'catch', and optionally 'cpue'.

Usage

plotfishM(
  fish,
  spsname = "",
  ce = TRUE,
  title = TRUE,
  fnt = 7,
  both = TRUE,
  maxy = c(0, 0),
  year = "year",
  catch = "catch",
  cpue = "cpue"
)

Arguments

fish

the matrix or data.frame containing year, catch, and cpue.

spsname

the name of the species concerned

ce

a logical parameter determining whether to plot the cpue or not. the default = TRUE

title

determines whether or not the spsname is printed at the top of the plot. Default = TRUE but for a more formal publication it might need to be set to FALSE, which also reallocates the room given to the title to the plot.

fnt

the font used in the plot and axes.

both

plot both the catches and the CPUE

maxy

a vector of two zeros. These define the maximum y-axis value for each plot. If it remains zero then getmax will be used to find the maximum.

year

the name of the column containing the years, default="year"

catch

the name of the column containing catches, default="catch"

cpue

the name of the column containing cpue, default="cpue"

Value

plots a graph but returns nothing to the console

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  data(dataspm)
  plotfishM(fish=dataspm,spsname="Pink Ling",ce=TRUE)
# }
