plot_diagram: Plot stratigraphic data as polygons or barplots.

In crestr: A Probabilistic Approach to Reconstruct Past Climates Using Palaeoecological Datasets

Plot stratigraphic data as polygons or barplots.

Description

This function plots stratigraphic data either as polygons or bars.

Usage

plot_diagram(
  x,
  bars = FALSE,
  col = "black",
  amplif = 5,
  save = FALSE,
  filename = "Diagram.pdf",
  width = 3.54,
  height = 9,
  as.png = FALSE,
  png.res = 300,
  yax_incr = 5,
  bar_width = diff(range(x$inputs$x))/50,
  xlim = NA,
  tickAtSample = TRUE,
  col_pos = "black",
  col_neg = "grey80",
  title = NA
)

Arguments

x	A data frame of the data to plot (first column with age or depth) and the taxa in the following columns. x can also be a crestObj.
bars	A boolean that indicates if the data should be plotted as polygons (default: bars=FALSE) or vertical bars (bars=TRUE).
col	Colours to be used for the polygons. If the number of colours does not match the number of taxa, colors will be recycled.
amplif	A factor the show exaggeration on the diagram. Only for polygon plot. Default 5.
save	A boolean to indicate if the diagram should be saved as a pdf file. Default is FALSE.
filename	An absolute or relative path that indicates where the diagram should be saved. Also used to specify the name of the file. Default: the file is saved in the working directory under the name 'Diagram.pdf'.
width	The width of the output file in inches (default 3.54in ~ 9cm).
height	The height of the output file in inches (default 9in ~ 23cm).
as.png	A boolean to indicate if the output should be saved as a png. Default is FALSE and the figure is saved as a pdf file.
png.res	The resolution of the png file (default 300 pixels per inch).
yax_incr	Graphical parameters describing the increment size on the y-axis (default 5).
bar_width	Width of the bars of the barplot (default 1/50th of the x range).
xlim	The range covered by the x-axis. Can be adjusted to get round numbers on the x-axis. If smaller than the range covered by the data, the data will be truncated (default: range of the data).
tickAtSample	Boolean that indicates whether a tick mark should be added on the x-axis at the location of each sample (default TRUE).
col_pos	Graphical parameter for the barplot. Colour of all the positive values (default black).
col_neg	Graphical parameter for the barplot. Colour of all the negative values (default light grey).
title	Name to be added on top of the plot (default NA).

Value

No return value, this function is used to plot.

Examples

data(crest_ex)
plot_diagram(crest_ex, bars=TRUE, col='black', bar_width=0.8)
plot_diagram(crest_ex,  col=1:7, tickAtSample=FALSE)
#> Replace 'tempdir()' by the location where the sample should be saved (e.g. 'getwd()')
plot_diagram(crest_ex, save=TRUE,
             filename=file.path(tempdir(), 'testDiagram.pdf'),
             bars=TRUE, col_pos='cornflowerblue', col_neg='darkgreen',
             bar_width=0.8, xlim=c(3,15))
