This functions allow extracting information and plotting spei objects. print yields the fitted values, i.e. a time series of SPEI or SPI values. summary reports the function call, the parameters of the PDF used, and the time series of SPEI or SPI values. plot produces a plot of the time series of SPEI or SPI values, with blue and red colors for positive and negative values, respectively. If a reference period was used in the function call it is shown by a shaded area. In the unlikely case that NA or Inf values were produced, these are shown by circles.
