plot.profile: Plot a CTD profile of various quantities

Description

Plot a CTD profile, in any of several common formats.

Usage

plot.profile(x,
             xtype="S", 
             ytype=c("pressure", "z"),
             col.S="darkgreen",
             col.t="red",
             col.rho="blue",
             col.N2="brown",
             col.dpdt="darkgreen",
             col.time="darkgreen",
             grid=TRUE,
             col.grid="lightgray",
             lty.grid="dotted",
             Slim, Tlim, densitylim, N2lim, dpdtlim, timelim, ylim,
             lwd,
             xaxs="r", yaxs="r",
             mgp=getOption("oce.mgp"),
             mar=c(mgp[1]+1, mgp[1]+1, mgp[1] + 1.5, 0.5),
...)

Arguments

x

A cdt object, e.g. as read by read.ctd.

xtype

Type of profile to plot, from the list below. [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

ytype

variable to use on y axis.

col.S

Color for salinity profile.

col.t

Color for temperature.

col.rho

Color for density.

col.N2

Color for square of buoyancy frequency.

col.dpdt

Color for dP/dt.

col.time

Color for delta-time.

grid

logical, set to TRUE to get a grid.

col.grid

colour for grid.

lty.grid

line type for grid.

Slim

Optional limit for S axis

Tlim

Optional limit for T axis

densitylim

Optional limit for density axis

N2lim

Optional limit for N2 axis

dpdtlim

Optional limit for dp/dt axis

timelim

Optional limit for delta-time axis

ylim

Optional limit for y axis

lwd

lwd value for data line

xaxs

value of par xaxs to use

yaxs

value of par yaxs to use

mgp

3-element numerical vector to use for par(mgp), and also for par(mar), computed from this. The default is tighter than the R default, in order to use more space for the data and less for the axes.

mar

value to be used with par("mar").

...

Optional arguments passed to other functions. A common example is to set df, for use in sw.N2 calculations.

Value

• None.
