plot.drifter: Plot drifter data

Description

Plot a summary diagram for drifter data.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'drifter':
plot(x, which = 1, level, coastline,
                          cex=1, pch=1, type='p', col,
                          adorn=NULL,
                          mgp=getOption("oceMgp"),
                          mar=c(mgp[1]+1,mgp[1]+1,mgp[1]+1,mgp[1]+1),
                          debug=getOption("oceDebug"), ...)

Arguments

x

A drifter object, e.g. as read by read.drifter.

which

list of desired plot types.

• which=1orwhich="trajectory"gives a plot of the drifter trajectory, with the coastline, if one is provided.
• which=2gives a time series of salinity at the in

level

level to plot, for e.g. which=2 and higher. May be an integer, in which case it refers to an index of depth (1 being the top) or it may be the string "all" which means to plot all data.

coastline

optional coastline file, to be drawn if which=1.

cex

size of plotting symbols to be used if type='p'.

pch

type of plotting symbols to be used if type='p'.

type

plot type, either "l" or "p".

col

optional list of colours for plotting.

adorn

list of expressions to be executed for the panels in turn, e.g. to adorn the plots. If the number matches the number of panels, then the strings are applied to the appropriate panels, as they are drawn from top-left to bottom-right. If onl

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").

debug

debugging flag

...

optional arguments passed to plotting functions.

Value

• None.
