Examples

## Exemplary Input Wind speed and direction data frame
# Uniform wind speed and single wind direction
data.in <- data.frame(ws = 12, wd = 0)
windrosePlot <- plot_windrose(
  data = data.in, spd = data.in$ws,
  dir = data.in$wd
)

# Random wind speeds and random wind directions
data.in <- data.frame(
  ws = sample(1:25, 10),
  wd = sample(1:260, 10)
)
windrosePlot <- plot_windrose(
  data = data.in, spd = data.in$ws,
  dir = data.in$wd
)
