Description

Create a wind rose from met data

Usage

plot_wind(swmpr_in, ...)

## S3 method for class 'swmpr'
plot_wind(
  swmpr_in,
  years = NULL,
  angle = 45,
  width = 1.5,
  breaks = 5,
  paddle = FALSE,
  grid.line = 10,
  max.freq = 30,
  cols = "GnBu",
  annotate = FALSE,
  main = NULL,
  type = "default",
  between = list(x = 1, y = 1),
  par.settings = NULL,
  strip = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

`swmpr_in`	input swmpr object
`...`	arguments passed to or from other methods
`years`	numeric of years to plot, defaults to most recent
`angle`	numeric for the number of degrees occupied by each spoke
`width`	numeric for width of paddles if `paddle = TRUE`
`breaks`	numeric for the number of break points in the wind speed
`paddle`	logical for paddles at the ends of the spokes
`grid.line`	numeric for grid line interval to use
`max.freq`	numeric for the scaling used to set the maximum value of the radial limits (like zoom)
`cols`	chr string for colors to use for plotting, can be any palette R recognizes or a collection of colors as a vector
`annotate`	logical indicating if text is shown on the bottom of the plot for the percentage of observations as 'calm' and mean values
`main`	chr string for plot title, defaults to station name and year plotted
`type`	chr string for temporal divisions of the plot, defaults to whole year. See details.
`between`	list for lattice plot options, defines spacing between plots
`par.settings`	list for optional plot formatting passed to `lattice.options`
`strip`	list for optional strip formatting passed to `strip.custom`

Details

This function is a convenience wrapper to windRose. Most of the arguments are taken directly from this function.

The type argument can be used for temporal divisions of the plot. Options include the entire year (type = "default"), seasons (type = "season"), months (type = "month"), or weekdays (type = "weekday"). Combinations are also possible (see windRose).
