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

Creates a character variable that describes the period of analysis, when the period of analysis is being set by the user and not from AnnualResults

Description

The period of analysis can be of any length from 1 month to 12 months. The period of analysis can have any starting month from 1 (January) through 12 (December). This function produces a character that describes this period of analysis. For example "water year", "calendar year", "year starting with April", or "Season consisting of April, May, June". There is an alternative version of this function for the case where AnnualResults exists. And we want to use the period of analysis defined there. That function is called setSeasonLabel.

Usage

setSeasonLabelByUser(paStartInput = 10, paLongInput = 12, monthLab = 1)

Arguments

paStartInput	numeric the month which is the start of the period of analysis, default is 10 which would be the case if the period of analysis is the water year
paLongInput	numeric the length of the the period of analysis, in months, default is 12 which would be the case if the period of analysis is the water year
monthLab	object of monthLabel class, or numeric represented the short code, or character representing the descriptive name.

Value

periodName character which describes the period of analysis

Examples

setSeasonLabelByUser(paStartInput=1,paLongInput=12)
setSeasonLabelByUser(paStartInput=4,paLongInput=3)
