plotScan: Plot seawater data in a low-level fashion

Description

Plot CTD data as time-series against scan number, to help with trimming extraneous data from a CTD cast.

Usage

plotScan(x, name = "scan", 
 Scol = "darkgreen", Tcol= "darkred", pcol = "black",
 adorn=NULL, mgp=getOption("oceMgp"), ...)

Arguments

x

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

name

name of variable for x axis

Scol

colour for salinity

Tcol

colour for temperature

pcol

Plots ctd data as time-series against the scan number, as an aide to trimming to downcasts, etc.
