demography (version 1.22)

plot.demogdata: Plot age-specific demographic functions

Description

If plot.type="functions", then years are plotted using a rainbow palette so the earliest years are red, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo with the most recent years plotted in violet. If plot.type="time", then each age is shown as a separate time series in a time plot.

Usage

# S3 method for demogdata
plot(x, series = ifelse(!is.null(x$rate),
  names(x$rate)[1], names(x$pop)[1]), datatype = ifelse(!is.null(x$rate),
  "rate", "pop"), years = x$year, ages = x$age, max.age = max(x$age),
  transform = (x$type == "mortality"), plot.type = c("functions",
  "time", "depth", "density"), type = "l", main = NULL, xlab, ylab,
  ...)
# S3 method for demogdata
lines(x, series = ifelse(!is.null(x$rate),
  names(x$rate)[1], names(x$pop)[1]), datatype = ifelse(!is.null(x$rate),
  "rate", ""), years = x$year, ages = x$age, max.age = max(x$age),
  transform = (x$type == "mortality"), plot.type = c("functions",
  "time", "depth", "density"), ...)
# S3 method for demogdata
points(..., pch = 1)

Value

None. Function produces a plot

Arguments

x

Demogdata object such as created using read.demogdata or smooth.demogdata.

series

Name of series to plot. Default: the first matrix within datatype.

datatype

Name of demogdata object which contains series. Default “rate”. Alternative: “pop”.

years

Vector indicating which years to plot. Default: all available years.

ages

Vector indicating which ages to plot. Default: all available ages.

max.age

Maximum age to plot. Default: all available ages.

transform

Should a transformation of the data be plotted? Default is TRUE if the object contains mortality data and datatype="rate", and FALSE otherwise.

plot.type

Type of plot: either “functions” or “time”.

type

What type of plot should be drawn. See plot for possible types.

main

Main title for the plot.

xlab

Label for x-axis.

ylab

Label for y-axis.

...

Other plotting parameters. In points.demogdata, all arguments are passed to lines.demogdata.

pch

Plotting character.
