make_climate_scenario: Make climate scenario

Description

Function to make climate scenarios for plotting from a list of climate metric data, e.g. produced by tempResponse_daily_list.

Usage

make_climate_scenario(
  metric_summary,
  caption = NULL,
  labels = names(metric_summary),
  time_series = FALSE,
  historic_data = NULL,
  add_to = NULL
)

Value

a list of climate scenario objects, which can be supplied to plot_climate_scenarios.

Arguments

metric_summary

character string specifying the folder holding the files, from which the scenario is to be built.

caption

vector of up to three character strings indicating the caption to be displayed in the respective plot panel; the elements of this vector are displayed on different lines. If caption_above == TRUE in plot_climate_scenario, only the first element is displayed.

labels

numeric vector containing labels for the scenarios. This defaults to the names of elements in metric_summary.

time_series

Boolean, indicating if the scenario contains a time series.

historic_data

a data.frame containing a dataset of historic observations that is similar in structure to metric_summary (should have column indicating the year and the metric to be plotted, with identical names to metric_summary). Defaults to NULL, which means that no historic data is included.

add_to

list of climate scenarios that the newly created one is to be added to.
