Plot extreme value statistics

Description

Plots distributions fitted by L-moments and adds plotting positions by Weibull and Gringorton. This is an auxiliary graphing function to distLextreme

Usage

plotLextreme(
  dlf,
  selection = NULL,
  order = FALSE,
  add = FALSE,
  nbest = 5,
  log = "",
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  las = 1,
  main = dlf$datname,
  xlab = "Return Period RP  [a]",
  ylab = "Discharge HQ  [m\U00B3/s]",
  PPcol = "black",
  PPpch = c(16, 3),
  PPcex = 1,
  distcols = berryFunctions::rainbow2(nbest),
  lty = 1,
  lwd = 1,
  pch = NA,
  cex = 1,
  n_pch = 15,
  legend = TRUE,
  rmse = 4,
  legargs = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE,
  logargs = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

`dlf`	List as returned by `distLextreme` or `distLexBoot`
`selection`	Selection of distributions. Character vector with type as in `lmom2par`. DEFAULT: NULL
`order`	If selection is given, should legend and colors be ordered by gof anyways? DEFAULT: FALSE
`add`	If TRUE, plot is not called before adding lines. This lets you add lines to an existing plot. DEFAULT: FALSE
`nbest`	Number of distributions plotted, in order of goodness of fit. Overwritten internally if selection is given. DEFAULT: 5
`log`	Charstring ("x", "y", "xy") for logarithmic axes. See `logargs`. DEFAULT: ""
`xlim`	X-axis limits. DEFAULT: xlim of plotting positions
`ylim`	Y-lim. DEFAULT: from min to extended max
`las`	LabelAxisStyle to orient labels, see `par`. DEFAULT: 1
`main`	Title of plot. DEFAULT: dlf$datname
`xlab`	X axis label. DEFAULT: "Return Period RP [a]"
`ylab`	Y axis label. Please note that the ubuntu pdf viewer might be unable to display unicode superscript. DEFAULT: "Discharge HQ [m3/s]"
`PPcol`	Plotting Position point colors, vector of length two for Weibull and Gringorton, recycled. PP are not used for fitting distributions, but for plotting only. DEFAULT: "black"
`PPpch`	point characters for plotting positions after Weibull and Gringorton, respectively. NA to suppress in plot and legend. DEFAULT: c(16,3)
`PPcex`	Character EXpansion of plotting points. DEFAULT: 1
`distcols`	Color for each distribution added with `lines`. Recycled, if necessary. DEFAULT: `rainbow2`
`lty`	Line TYpe for plotted distributions. Is recycled to from a vector of length nbest, i.e. a value for each dist. DEFAULT: 1
`lwd`	Line WiDth of distribution lines. Recycled vector of length nbest. DEFAULT: 1
`pch`	Point CHaracter of points added at regular intervals. This makes lines more distinguishable from each other. NA to suppress. Recycled vector of length nbest. DEFAULT: NA
`cex`	if pch != NA, size of points. Recycled vector of length nbest. DEFAULT: 1
`n_pch`	Number of points spread evenly along the line. Recycled vector of length nbest. DEFAULT: 15
`legend`	Logical. Add a legend? DEFAULT: TRUE
`rmse`	Integer. If rmse > 0, RMSE values are added to legend. They are rounded to `rmse` digits. DEFAULT: 4
`legargs`	list of arguments passed to `legend` except for legend, col, pch, lwd, lty. DEFAULT: NULL
`quiet`	Suppress notes? DEFAULT: FALSE
`logargs`	list of arguments passed to `berryFunctions::logAxis`.
`...`	Further arguments passed to `plot` like yaxt="n", ...
