Viz2VarsVsLTime: Plot two scores with confidence intervals in a common plot

In esviz: Plotting Functions for Climate Science and Services

Plot two scores with confidence intervals in a common plot

Description

Plot two input variables that have the same dimensions in a common plot. One plot for all experiments. The input variables should have dimensions (nexp/nmod, nltime).

Usage

Viz2VarsVsLTime(
  var1,
  var2,
  toptitle = "",
  ytitle = "",
  monini = 1,
  freq = 12,
  nticks = NULL,
  limits = NULL,
  listexp = c("exp1", "exp2", "exp3"),
  listvars = c("var1", "var2"),
  biglab = FALSE,
  hlines = NULL,
  drawleg = TRUE,
  leg = NULL,
  siglev = FALSE,
  title_scale = 1,
  sizetit = NULL,
  show_conf = TRUE,
  fileout = NULL,
  width = 8,
  height = 5,
  size_units = "in",
  res = 100,
  ...
)

Arguments

var1	Matrix of dimensions (nexp/nmod, nltime).
var2	Matrix of dimensions (nexp/nmod, nltime).
toptitle	Main title, optional.
ytitle	Title of Y-axis, optional.
monini	Starting month between 1 and 12. Default = 1.
freq	1 = yearly, 12 = monthly, 4 = seasonal, ... Default = 12.
nticks	Number of ticks and labels on the x-axis, optional.
limits	c(lower limit, upper limit): limits of the Y-axis, optional.
listexp	List of experiment names, up to three, optional.
listvars	List of names of input variables, optional.
biglab	TRUE/FALSE for presentation/paper plot. Default = FALSE.
hlines	c(a, b, ...) Add horizontal black lines at Y-positions a, b, ... The default value is NULL.
drawleg	TRUE/FALSE if legend should be added or not to the plot. Default = TRUE.
leg	Deprecated. Use 'drawleg' instead.
siglev	TRUE/FALSE if significance level should replace confidence interval. Default = FALSE.
title_scale	Multiplicative factor to change title size, optional.
sizetit	Deprecated. Use 'title_scale' instead.
show_conf	TRUE/FALSE to show/not confidence intervals for input variables.
fileout	Name of output file. Extensions allowed: eps/ps, jpeg, png, pdf, bmp and tiff. The default value is NULL.
width	File width, in the units specified in the parameter size_units (inches by default). Takes 8 by default.
height	File height, in the units specified in the parameter size_units (inches by default). Takes 5 by default.
size_units	Units of the size of the device (file or window) to plot in. Inches ('in') by default. See ?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.
res	Resolution of the device (file or window) to plot in. See ?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.
...	Arguments to be passed to the method. Only accepts the following graphical parameters: adj ann ask bg bty cex.sub cin col.axis col.lab col.main col.sub cra crt csi cxy err family fg fig font font.axis font.lab font.main font.sub lend lheight ljoin lmitre mar mex mfcol mfrow mfg mkh oma omd omi page pch plt smo srt tck tcl usr xaxp xaxs xaxt xlog xpd yaxp yaxs yaxt ylbias ylog For more information about the parameters see 'par'.

Value

A figure in popup window by default, or saved to the specified path via fileout.
