plotTD: Interactive plotting and zero-offset correction windows for "TDR" data

Description

Plot and optionally set zero-offset correction windows in TDR records, with the aid of a graphical user interface (GUI), allowing for dynamic selection of offset and multiple time windows to perform the adjustment.

Usage

plotTD(time, depth, concurVars=NULL, xlim=NULL, depth.lim=NULL,
       xlab="time (dd-mmm hh:mm)", ylab.depth="depth (m)",
       concurVarTitles=deparse(substitute(concurVars)),
       xlab.format="%d-%b %H:%M", sunrise.time="06:00:00",
       sunset.time="18:00:00", night.col="gray60", phase.factor=NULL,
       interact=TRUE, key=TRUE, cex.pts=0.4, ...)

Arguments

time

POSIXct object with date and time.

depth

Numeric vector with depth in m.

concurVars

Matrix with additional variables in each column to plot concurrently with depth.

xlim

Vector of length 2, with lower and upper limits of time to be plotted.

depth.lim

Numeric vector of length 2, with the lower and upper limits of depth to be plotted.

xlab, ylab.depth

Strings to label the corresponding y-axes.

concurVarTitles

Character vector of titles to label each new variable given in concurVars.

xlab.format

Format string for formatting the x axis; see strptime.

sunrise.time, sunset.time

Character string with time of sunrise and sunset, respectively, in 24 hr format. This is used for shading night time.

night.col

Color for shading night time.

phase.factor

Factor dividing rows into sections.

interact

Logical; whether to provide interactive tcltk controls and access to the associated ZOC functionality.

key

Logical indicating whether to draw a key.

cex.pts

Passed to points to set the relative size of points to plot (if any).

...

Arguments passed to par; useful defaults las=1, bty="n", and mar (the latter depending on whether additional concurrent data will be plotted) are provided, but

Value

• A list (invisibly) with as many components as sections of the record that were zero-offset corrected, each consisting of two further lists with the same components as those returned by locator.

Details

This function is used primarily to correct drifts in the pressure transducer of TDR records and noise in depth measurements via method=visual in calibrateDepth.

Examples

data(divesTDR)

## Use interact=TRUE (default) to set the offset interactively
plotTD(getTime(divesTDR), getDepth(divesTDR), interact=FALSE)
