plot_trend: Plot trend

In rnrfa: UK National River Flow Archive Data from R

Plot trend

Description

This function plots a previously calculated trend.

Usage

plot_trend(df, column_name, maptype = "toner-lite", showmap = TRUE)

Arguments

df	Data frame containing at least 4 column: lat (latitude), lon (longitude), slope and an additional user-defined column column_name.
column_name	name of the column to use for grouping the results.
maptype	maptype. The default is "toner-lite", see ?ggmap::get_stamenmap for other options
showmap	set to FALSE to avoid plotting the map when running the function

Value

Two plots, the first showing the distribution of the trend over a map, based on the slope of the linear model that describes the trend. The second plot shows a boxplot of the slope grouped based on the column column_name and slope can be user-defined (notice that in the plot the very extreme slope values are not displayed to avoid skewed visualisations).

Examples

## Not run: 
  # some fake data around London 
  df <- data.frame(lat = 51.5+runif(40,-0.3,0.3), 
                   lon = 0+runif(40, -0.3,0.3),
                   slope = rnorm(40, c(rep(-0.4,20),rep(0.4,20))), 
                   g = factor(c(rep("a",20), rep("b",20))))
  theplots <- plot_trend(df, "g", maptype = "terrain-background")
  theplots$A # map
  theplots$B + labs(subtitle = "Use ggplot usual commands to modify the plots") # boxplots
  

## End(Not run)
