Description
Plots concurrent precipitation and discharge with precipitation along the top and discharge along the bottom
Usage
HydroPlot(
x,
Title = "Concurrent Rainfall & Discharge",
from = NULL,
to = NULL,
adj.y = 1.5,
plw = 1,
qlw = 1.8
)
Value
A plot of concurrent precipitation and discharge. With the former at the top and the latter at the bottom.
