genericEGRETDotPlot: Generic EGRET plotting function

In EGRET: Exploration and Graphics for RivEr Trends

Generic EGRET plotting function

Description

Basic plotting framework for EGRET dot plots. Graphical parameters default to values that work well with most plots, but all can be re-assigned. See ?par for complete definitions of most optional input variables.

Usage

genericEGRETDotPlot(x, y, xlim, ylim, xTicks = pretty(xlim),
  yTicks = pretty(ylim), printTitle = TRUE, xaxs = "i", xlab = "",
  yaxs = "i", ylab = "", plotTitle = "", pch = 20, cex = 0.7,
  cex.main = 1.3, font.main = 2, cex.lab = 1.2, tcl = 0.5,
  cex.axis = 1, las = 1, xDate = FALSE, tinyPlot = FALSE,
  hLine = FALSE, oneToOneLine = FALSE, rmSciX = FALSE, rmSciY = FALSE,
  customPar = FALSE, col = "black", lwd = 1, showXLabels = TRUE,
  showYLabels = TRUE, showXAxis = TRUE, showYAxis = TRUE,
  removeFirstX = FALSE, removeLastX = FALSE, removeFirstY = FALSE,
  removeLastY = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	vector specifying the x data (required)
y	vector specifying the y data (required)
xlim	vector specifying the x plotting range (required)
ylim	vector specifying the y plotting range (required)
xTicks	vector specifying x axis tick placement (required)
yTicks	vector specifying y axis tick placement (required)
printTitle	logical defaults to TRUE, plotting parameter to control whether to have title
xaxs	character defaults to "i", defines the style of x-axis interval calculation. Possible values are i, r, e, s, d.
xlab	character defaults to "", defines the x label
yaxs	character defaults to "i", defines the style of y-axis interval calculation. Possible values are i, r, e, s, d.
ylab	character defaults to "", defines the y label
plotTitle	character defaults to "", defines the plot title
pch	number defaults to 20, specifies plot symbol
cex	number defaults to 0.7, specifies plotting text magnification
cex.main	number defaults to 1.3, specifies title text magnification
font.main	number defaults to 2, specifies which font to use for text
cex.lab	number defaults to 1.2 specifies label text magnification
tcl	number defaults to 0.5, specifies length of tick marks as fraction of height of a line of text.
cex.axis	number defaults to 1, specifies axis text magnification
las	number represents style of axis labels
xDate	logical defaults to FALSE, changes x label to "year-month" format if set to TRUE and total years less than 4.
tinyPlot	logical defaults to FALSE, if TRUE, changes defaults to be appropriate for multi-plot
hLine	logical defaults to FALSE, inserts horizontal line at zero
oneToOneLine	logical defaults to FALSE, inserts 1:1 line
rmSciX	logical defaults to FALSE, changes x label from scientific to fixed
rmSciY	logical defaults to FALSE, changes y label from scientific to fixed
customPar	logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, par() should be set by user before calling this function
col	color of points on plot, see ?par 'Color Specification'
lwd	number line width
showXLabels	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the x axis label is not plotted
showYLabels	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the y axis label is not plotted
showXAxis	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the x axis is not plotted
showYAxis	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the y axis is not plotted
removeFirstX	logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the first x axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.
removeLastX	logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the last x axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.
removeFirstY	logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the first y axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.
removeLastY	logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, removes the last y axis label. This can be handy for plotting mutliple plots.
...	additional graphical parameters can be adjusted

Examples

eList <- Choptank_eList
Daily <- getDaily(eList)
x <- Daily$Date
y <- Daily$Q
xlim <- c(min(x),max(x))
ylim <- c(min(y),1.05*max(y))
xlab <- "Date"
ylab <- "Flow"
genericEGRETDotPlot(x=x, y=y, 
                    xlim=xlim, ylim=ylim,
                    xlab=xlab, ylab=ylab,
                    plotTitle="Test"
)
