ncdc_plot: Plot NOAA climate data.

Description

Plot NOAA climate data.

Usage

ncdc_plot(..., breaks = NULL, dateformat = "%d/%m/%y")

Arguments

...

Input noaa object or objects.

breaks

Regularly spaced date breaks for x-axis. See examples for usage. See date_breaks. Default: NULL (uses ggplot2 default break sformatting)

dateformat

Date format using standard POSIX specification for labels on x-axis. See date_format

Value

ggplot2 plot

Details

This function accepts directly output from the ncdc function, not other functions.

This is a simple wrapper function around some ggplot2 code. There is indeed a lot you can modify in your plots, so this function just does some basic stuff. Look at the internals for what the function does.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Search for data first, then plot
out <- ncdc(datasetid='GHCND', stationid='GHCND:USW00014895', datatypeid='PRCP',
   startdate = '2010-05-01', enddate = '2010-10-31', limit=500)
ncdc_plot(out)
ncdc_plot(out, breaks="14 days")
ncdc_plot(out, breaks="1 month", dateformat="%d/%m")
ncdc_plot(out, breaks="1 month", dateformat="%d/%m")

# Combine many calls to ncdc function
out1 <- ncdc(datasetid='GHCND', stationid='GHCND:USW00014895', datatypeid='PRCP',
   startdate = '2010-03-01', enddate = '2010-05-31', limit=500)
out2 <- ncdc(datasetid='GHCND', stationid='GHCND:USW00014895', datatypeid='PRCP',
   startdate = '2010-09-01', enddate = '2010-10-31', limit=500)
df <- ncdc_combine(out1, out2)
ncdc_plot(df)
## or pass in each element separately
ncdc_plot(out1, out2, breaks="45 days")
# }
