plot.OutputsModel: Default preview of model outputs

Description

Function which creates a screen plot giving an overview of the model outputs.

Usage

# S3 method for OutputsModel
plot(x, Qobs = NULL, IndPeriod_Plot = NULL,
  BasinArea = NULL, which = "synth", log_scale = FALSE,
  cex.axis = 1, cex.lab = 0.9, cex.leg = 0.9, lwd = 1,
  LayoutMat = NULL,
  LayoutWidths = rep.int(1, ncol(LayoutMat)),
  LayoutHeights = rep.int(1, nrow(LayoutMat)),
  verbose = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

[object of class OutputsModel] list of model outputs (which must at least include DatesR, Precip and Qsim) [POSIXlt, mm/time step, mm/time step]

Qobs

(optional) [numeric] time series of observed flow (for the same time steps than simulated) [mm/time step]

IndPeriod_Plot

(optional) [numeric] indices of the time steps to be plotted (among the OutputsModel series)

BasinArea

(optional) [numeric] basin area [km2], used to plot flow axes in m3/s

which

(optional) [character] choice of plots (e.g. c("Precip", "Temp", "SnowPack", "Flows", "Regime", "CumFreq", "CorQQ")), default = "synth", see details below

log_scale

(optional) [boolean] indicating if the flow time series axis and the flow error time series axis are to be logarithmic, default = FALSE

cex.axis

(optional) [numeric] the magnification to be used for axis annotation relative to the current setting of cex

cex.lab

(optional) [numeric] the magnification to be used for x and y labels relative to the current setting of cex

cex.leg

(optional) [numeric] the magnification to be used for the legend labels relative to the current setting of cex

lwd

(optional) [numeric] the line width (a positive number)

LayoutMat

(optional) [numeric] a matrix object specifying the location of the next N figures on the output device. Each value in the matrix must be 0 or a positive integer. If N is the largest positive integer in the matrix, then the integers 1, …, N-1 must also appear at least once in the matrix (see layout)

LayoutWidths

(optional) [numeric] a vector of values for the widths of columns on the device (see layout)

LayoutHeights

(optional) [numeric] a vector of values for the heights of rows on the device (see layout)

verbose

(optional) [boolean] indicating if the function is run in verbose mode or not, default = TRUE

...

other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions

Value

Screen plot window.

Details

Different types of independent graphs are available (depending on the model, but always drawn in this order):

• "Precip": time series of total precipitation

• "PotEvap": time series of potential evapotranspiration

• "Temp": time series of temperature (plotted only if CemaNeige is used)

• "SnowPack": time series of snow water equivalent (plotted only if CemaNeige is used)

• "Flows": time series of simulated flows (and observed flows if provided)

• "Regime": interannual median monthly simulated flow (and observed flows if provided)

• "CorQQ": correlation plot between simulated and observed flows (only if observed flows provided)

• "CumFreq": cumulative frequency plot for simulated flows (and observed flows if provided)

Different dashboards of results including various graphs are available:

• "perf": corresponds to "Error", "Regime", "CumFreq" and "CorQQ"

• "ts": corresponds to "Precip", "PotEvap", "Temp", "SnowPack" and "Flows"

• "synth": corresponds to "Precip", "Temp", "SnowPack", "Flows", "Regime", "CumFreq" and "CorQQ"

• "all": corresponds to "Precip", "PotEvap", "Temp", "SnowPack", "Flows", "Error", "Regime", "CumFreq" and "CorQQ"

If several dashboards are selected, or if an independent graph is called with a dashboard, the graphical device will include all the requested graphs without redundancy.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
### see examples of RunModel_GR4J or RunModel_CemaNeigeGR4J functions
### to understand how the example datasets have been prepared


## loading examples dataset for GR4J and GR4J + CemaNeige
data(exampleSimPlot)


### Qobs and outputs from GR4J and GR4J + CemaNeige models
str(simGR4J, max.level = 1)
str(simCNGR4J, max.level = 1)


### default dashboard (which = "synth")

## GR models whithout CemaNeige
plot(simGR4J$OutputsModel, Qobs = simGR4J$Qobs)

## GR models whith CemaNeige ("Temp" and "SnowPack" added)
plot(simCNGR4J$OutputsModel, Qobs = simCNGR4J$Qobs)


### "Error" and "CorQQ" plots cannot be display whithout Qobs
plot(simGR4J$OutputsModel, which = "all", Qobs = simGR4J$Qobs)
plot(simGR4J$OutputsModel, which = "all", Qobs = NULL)


### complex plot arrangements
plot(simGR4J$OutputsModel, Qobs = simGR4J$Qobs,
     which = c("Flows", "Regime", "CumFreq", "CorQQ"),
     LayoutMat = matrix(c(1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 4), ncol = 2),
     LayoutWidths  = c(1.5, 1),
     LayoutHeights = c(0.5, 1, 1))
    
    
### add a main title

## the whole list of settable par's
opar <- par(no.readonly = TRUE)

## define outer margins and a title inside it
par(oma = c(0, 0, 3, 0))
plot(simGR4J$OutputsModel, Qobs = simGR4J$Qobs)
title(main = "GR4J outputs", outer = TRUE, line = 1.2, cex.main = 1.4)

## reset original par
par(opar)
# }
