## S3 method for class 'tide'
plot(x, from, to, by = NULL, split = FALSE, which = NULL, 
  msl = !split, ask = split && dev.interactive(), main = NULL, 
  xlab = "Times", ylab = "Level", ...) 

Arguments

x

An object of class 'tide'.

from

Time and date from which to plot. Should be a POSIXct object or something which can be converted to a POSIXct object. If no time zone is given then UTC is assumed.

to

Time and date up to which to plot. Should be a POSIXct object or something which can be converted to a POSIXct object. If no time zone is given then UTC is assumed.

by

The time interval in hours between calculated tidal predictions. If NULL, then the time interval is that which produces 1000 evaluations between from and to.

split

If TRUE, plot values for harmonic constituents separately. Otherwise, the constituents are summed.

which

If NULL, use all fitted harmonic constituents. If not NULL, then should be a character vector giving the names of the selected constituents.

msl

Add the mean sea-level to the plots? A time-varying mean sea-level will be used if this has been implemented for the tidal object.

xlab,ylab

Graphical parameters.

main,ask

Graphical parameters.

...

Other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions.

Details

Note that nodal corrections and time-varying mean sea-levels will be used if and only if they were implemented for the tidal object. The longitude formulas will also be the same as those used for the tidal object.

The dates/times plotted on the x-axis correspond to the time zone used for the from object.

Value

A list of times and predictions is returned invisibly.
