In CSHShydRology: Canadian Hydrological Analyses

#'  Plots a hydrograph with the data quality symbols and returns a report on qa symbols and missing data.
#'  
#' @description Plots a hydrograph of a WSC daily data file read from from ECDataExplorer (ECDE). 
#' The hydrograph shows individual days with data quality symbols [SYM] 
#' in colour and counts cases of each and reports them in the legend. The colours and symbols 
#' are those produced by ECDataExplorer. 
#' 
#' There is an option is to provide start and end dates to show 
#' only part of the time period for which data exists and the plot is annotated to indicate this. 
#' Counts of missing observations is also provided in the legend.
#'
#' @param DF Data frame retrieved from ECDataExplorer as returned by the function 
#' \code{ch_read_ECDE_flows}.
#' @param st_date Optional start date in the form \option{yyyy-mm-dd}. Default is \code{NULL}.
#' @param end_date Optional end date in the form \option{yyyy-mm-dd}. Default is \code{NULL}.
#' @param rescale If \code{FALSE} (the default), the y-axis scaling is determined by the time 
#' period. If \code{TRUE} then determined by the whole dataset.
#' @param sym_col Colours used for SYM; default is those used in ECDE ("black",
#'  "green", "cyan","yellow", "red", "white").  The final "white" can be changed to highlight
#'  missing data points.
#' @param cts If \code{TRUE} (the default) shows the counts of SYM in the legend. If \code{FALSE} 
#' the counts are omitted as in ECDE.
#' @param metadata a dataframe of station metadata, default is \code{HYDAT_list}.
