plot.Markov_grid: Contour plot for 'Markov_grid' control chart results.

In Markovchart: Markov Chain-Based Cost-Optimal Control Charts

Contour plot for Markov_grid control chart results.

Description

Convenience function for plotting G-values in a contour plot as the function of the time between samplings and the critical value.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Markov_grid'
plot(
     x, y = expression(atop(italic("G")*-value~per, unit~time)),
     xlab = "Time between samplings", ylab = "Critical value",
     low = "white", mid = "#999999", high = "black",
     colour = "white", nbreaks = 16, ...)

Arguments

x	A Markov_grid data.frame with three columns (preferably created by the Markovchart function): time between samplings, critical value and the weighted mean of the expected cost and the cost standard deviation (G-values).
y	The name of the scale.
xlab	A title for the x axis.
ylab	A title for the x axis.
low	Colour for the low end of the gradient.
mid	Colour for the midpoint.
high	Colour for the high end of the gradient.
colour	Colour of the contour lines.
nbreaks	Number of contour breaks. Uses pretty(), thus actual, plotted number of breaks may differ.
...	Further arguments to be passed down to plot. Mostly kept due to S3 method compatibility.

Value

A plot object of class gg and ggplot produced using the ggplot2 package.

Note

The plot itself is made using the package ggplot by Hadley Wickham et al. The text on the contour lines is added with the geom_text_contour function from the package metR by Elio Campitelli.
