boxConcMonth: Box plot of the water quality data by month

In USGS-R/EGRET: Exploration and Graphics for RivEr Trends

Box plot of the water quality data by month

Description

Data come from named list, which contains a Sample dataframe with the sample data, and an INFO dataframe with metadata.

Box widths are proportional to the square root of the number of samples in the month.

Although there are a lot of optional arguments to this function, most are set to a logical default.

Usage

boxConcMonth(eList, printTitle = TRUE, cex = 0.8, cex.axis = 1.1,
  cex.main = 1.1, las = 1, logScale = FALSE, tcl = 0.5,
  tinyPlot = FALSE, customPar = FALSE, showYLabels = TRUE, concLab = 1,
  showXLabels = TRUE, showXAxis = TRUE, showYAxis = TRUE, monthLab = 1,
  ...)

Arguments

eList	named list with at least the Sample and INFO dataframes
printTitle	logical variable if TRUE title is printed, if FALSE not printed (this is best for a multi-plot figure)
cex	numerical value giving the amount by which plotting symbols should be magnified
cex.axis	magnification to be used for axis annotation relative to the current setting of cex
cex.main	magnification to be used for main titles relative to the current setting of cex
las	numeric in c(0,1,2,3); the style of axis labels, see ?par
logScale	logical if TRUE y plotted in log axis
tcl	number defaults to 0.5, specifies length of tick marks as fraction of height of a line of text
tinyPlot	logical variable, if TRUE plot is designed to be plotted small as part of a multi-plot figure, default is FALSE.
customPar	logical defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, par() should be set by user before calling this function
showYLabels	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the y axis label is not plotted
concLab	object of concUnit class, or numeric represented the short code, or character representing the descriptive name. By default, this argument sets concentration labels to use either Concentration or Conc (for tiny plots). Units are taken from the eList$INFO$param.units. To use any other words than "Concentration" see vignette(topic = "units", package = "EGRET").
showXLabels	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the x axis label is not plotted
showXAxis	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the x axis is not plotted
showYAxis	logical defaults to TRUE. If FALSE, the y axis is not plotted
monthLab	object of monthLabel class, or numeric represented the short code, or character representing the descriptive name.
...	arbitrary graphical parameters that will be passed to genericEGRETDotPlot function (see ?par for options)
