Arguments

dates	Dates in ascending order. Can be character strings or strptime results, as accepted (and coerced) by as.Date
values	Values to be mapped in color with colPoints
data	Optional: data.frame with the column names as given by dates and values
drange	Optional date range (analogous to xlim), can be a vector like dates. Can also be numerical years, in which case "-01-01" is appended. DEFAULT: NA (computed from dates internally)
vrange	Optional value range (analogous to ylim), can be a vector like values. DEFAULT: NA (computed from values internally)
shift	Number of days to move the year-break to. E.g. shift=61 for German hydrological year (Nov to Oct). DEFAULT: 0
janline	Logical: Should horizontal line be plotted at January 1st if shift!=0? DEFAULT: TRUE
hlines	Draw horizontal background lines in plot 1? Either FALSE (the default), TRUE to draw gray background lines at each month start, or a list of arguments passed to abline with owa. DEFAULT: FALSE
nmax	Number of annual maxima to be marked, plotted and returned. Currently, only 0 and 1 are implemented. DEFAULT: 0
maxargs	List of arguments passed to lines for annual maxima, e.g. maxargs=list(type="l", col="red", lty=3). DEFAULT: NULL (several internal defaults are used, but can be overridden)
plot	Integer specifying the type of plot. Can be a vector to produce several plots. 0: none, only return the data.frame with annual maxima. 1: color coded doy (day of the year) over year (the default). 2: Color coded spiral graph with spiralDate. 3: Spaghetti line plot with discharge over doy, one line per year. 4: probs quantileMean over doy, with optional aggregation window (width) around each doy. 5: Annmax over time for crude trend analysis. DEFAULT: 1
add	Logical. Add to existing plot? DEFAULT: FALSE
nmin	Minimum number of values that must be present per (hydrological) year to be plotted in plot type 5. DEFAULT: 100
probs	Probabilities passed to quantileMean for plot=4. DEFAULT: c(0,25,50,75,95,99)/100
width	Numeric: window width for plot=4. Used as sd in gaussian weighting. Support (number of values around a DOY passed to quantile function at least once) is ca 4.9*width. The value at doy itself is used 10 times. Larger values of width require more computing time. DEFAULT: 3
text	Logical. Call textField if plot=4? DEFAULT: TRUE
texti	Numerical (vector): indices at which to label the lines. DEFAULT: seq(200,20,length.out=length(probs))
textargs	List of arguments passed to textField for plot=4. DEFAULT: NULL
months	Labels for the months. DEFAULT: J,F,M,A,M,J,J,A,S,O,N,D
slab, tlab, vlab	Labels for the season, time (year) and values used on the axes and title of colPointsLegend. DEFAULT: "Month", "Year", substitute(values)
xlim, ylim	Limits of x and y axis. DEFAULT: NA (specified internally per plot type)
xaxs, yaxs	x and y Axis style, see par. Use "r" for regular 4% expansion, "i" for in range only. DEFAULT: NA (specified internally per plot type)
main, adj	Graph title and offset to the left (adj passed to title). DEFAULT: "Seasonality", 0.2
mar, mgp	Parameters specifying plot margin size and labels placement. DEFAULT: c(3,3,4,1), c(1.7,0.7,0) (Changed for plot 3:5 if not given)
keeppar	Logical: Keep the margin parameters? If FALSE, they are reset to the previous values. DEFAULT: TRUE
legend	Logical. Should a legend be drawn? DEFAULT: TRUE
legargs	List of arguments passed as legargs to colPoints. DEFAULT: NULL (internally, plots 3 and 5 have density=F as default)
returnall	Logical: return all relevant output as a list instead of only annmax data.frame? DEFAULT: FALSE
quiet	Logical: suppress progress stuff and colPoints messages? DEFAULT: FALSE
...	Further arguments passed to colPoints like pch, main, xaxs, but not Range (use vrange). Passed to spiralDate if plot=2, like add, format, lines.

Value

The output is always invisible, don't forget to assign it. If returnall=FALSE: Data.frame with year, number of nonNA entries, max value + doy of annual maxima. Please note that the column year does not match the calendrical year if shift!=0.
if returnall=TRUE: a list with annmax (df from above) as well as:
data: data.frame(doy, values, year) and optionally:
plot1, plot3, plot4, plot5: outputs from colPoints
plot2: output list from spiralDate
and other elements depending on plot type, like data3, data4, probs4, width4.
