gr_plot_periods: Plot long-term hydrograph variable changes

In grwat: River Hydrograph Separation and Analysis

Plot long-term hydrograph variable changes

Description

This function generates boxplots of the hydrograph separation variables produced by gr_summarize(). The data for each variable is divided into two samples: before and after the change year either set by year parameter or extracted from tests (statistically estimated). Different background fill colors are used to differentiate seasons types.

Usage

gr_plot_periods(
  df,
  ...,
  year = NULL,
  exclude = NULL,
  tests = NULL,
  layout = as.matrix(1),
  pagebreak = FALSE,
  print = TRUE
)

Arguments

df	data.frame of hydrograph and meteorological variables produced by gr_summarize().
...	Quoted sequence of variable names.
year	Integer. Change year value to separate two periods (overridden by tests if it is supplied).
exclude	Integer vector of years to be excluded from plotting.
tests	Tests list for the same variables (generated by gr_test_vars() function)
layout	matrix that encodes the order of plotting.
pagebreak	Logical. Whether to break page between plots (needed for reporting). Defaults to FALSE.
print	Boolean. Print plot? Defaults to TRUE. Use FALSE if you want to tweak the plot aesthetics before plotting.

Value

list of ggplot2 objects, one for each variable, representing its long-term changes

Examples

library(grwat)

data(spas) # example Spas-Zagorye data is included with grwat package

# separate
sep = gr_separate(spas, params = gr_get_params(reg = 'center'))

# summarize from 1965 to 1990
vars = gr_summarize(sep, 1965, 1990)

# plot periods with fixed change year
gr_plot_periods(vars, Qygr, year = 1978)

# plot periods with change year from Pettitt test
gr_plot_periods(vars, Qygr, tests = TRUE)

# calculate test beforehand
tests = gr_test_vars(vars)
gr_plot_periods(vars, Qspmax, tests = tests)

# use matrix layout to plot multiple variables
gr_plot_periods(vars, Qygr, Qspmax, D10w1, Wsprngr,
                layout = matrix(1:4, nrow = 2),
                tests = tests)
