In msltrend: Improved Techniques to Estimate Trend, Velocity and Acceleration from Sea Level Records

Description

Pdf plotting options.

Usage

msl.pdf(x, file_name = " ", type = 1, ci = 1)

Arguments

x	object of class “msl.trend” (see msl.trend and s) or “msl.forecast” (see msl.forecast and t).
file_name	is a character string indicating the name of the pdf output file. If this field is left blank the output file will be automatically saved in the working directory under the default name "File1.pdf".
type	numeric, enables a user defined input to select the type of chart to be plotted. The default setting (type = 1) provides 3 charts in the same plot area with the time series in the top panel, instantaneous velocity in the middle panel and instantaneous acceleration in the bottom panel. The alternatives (2, 3 and 4) are single panel plots of time series, instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration, respectively.
ci	numeric, enables a user defined input to select the type of confidence interval to be displayed on the plots. The default setting (ci = 1) corresponds to a 95% confidence interval whilst ci=2 provides a 99% confidence interval.

Details

This routine provides a range of pdf plotting options for both “msl.trend” (see msl.trend) and “msl.forecast” (see msl.forecast) objects. Three panel plots (type 1 or default) are formatted with width = 16.54 inches and height = 20 inches. Single panel plots (types 2, 3, 4) are formatted with width = 16.54 inches and height = 15 inches. All plots are designed to be proportionally correct when imported into documents and re-sized to the width of a standard A4 page. The same range of alternative screen plotting options are available via msl.plot.

Examples

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Isolate trend from Baltimore record, filling gaps with spline interpolation,
# 500 iterations and adding 1000 mm of slr to 2100. Use raw 'Balt.csv' data file.
# Note: ordinarily user would call 'File.csv' direct from working directory
# using the following sample code:
# s <- msl.trend('Balt.csv', fillgaps = 3, iter = 500, 'BALTIMORE, USA')
# t <- msl.forecast(s, slr = 1000)
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------

data(s) # msl.trend object from above-mentioned example
data(t) # msl.forecast object from above-mentioned example

# default output, 3 panels, 95% confidence intervals.
msl.pdf(s)
# Check 'File1.pdf' in working directory

# pdf plot time series, 95% confidence intervals.
msl.pdf(s, file_name = 'Series.pdf', type = 2)
# Check 'Series.pdf' file in working directory

# pdf plot instantaneous velocity, 95% confidence intervals.
msl.pdf(s, file_name = 'Velocity.pdf', type = 3)
# Check 'Velocity.pdf' file in working directory

# pdf plot instantaneous acceleration, 99% confidence intervals.
msl.pdf(s, file_name = 'Acceleration.pdf', type = 4, ci = 2)
# Check 'Acceleration.pdf' file in working directory

# default output, 3 panels, 95% confidence intervals.
msl.pdf(t, file_name = 'Forecast.pdf')
# Check 'Forecast.pdf' file in working directory
