region_dimension_graph: Region Dimension Graph

In FluvialGeomorph/RegionalCurve: A Collection of Hydraulic Regional Curve Relationships

Region Dimension Graph

Description

Creates a Regional Hydraulic Dimension graph for the regions provided for the specified dimension.

Usage

region_dimension_graph(
  regions,
  dimension_type = c("area", "depth", "width", "discharge")
)

Arguments

regions	character; A vector of region names that will be displayed on the graph. For a complete list of regions, see levels(regional_curve$region_name) RegionalCurve::regional_curve$region_name.
dimension_type	character; Dimension type: "area", "depth", "width", "discharge"

Details

Creates a regional hydraulic dimension graph styled using conventions that have emerged in the fluvial geomorphic literature:

• Drainage Area as the independent variable on the x-axis. Units are expressed in imperial units (square miles).

• Hydraulic dimensions (i.e., width, depth, cross sectional area, discharge) as the dependent variables on the y-axis. Units are expressed in imperial units(i.e, width: feet, depth: feet, cross sectional area: square feet, discharge: cubic feet per second).

• Both axes on log scale (aka "log-log graph").

Value

A ggplot object.
