In USGS-R/sedReview: A package and shiny GUI for review of discrete water-quality sediment records and box coefficient exploration of data stored in the USGS NWIS system

Description

Function to output scatterplot of SSC vs. turbidity. Output is a single plot or write to PDF.

Usage

plot_turbSSC(
  x,
  log.SSC = FALSE,
  log.turb = FALSE,
  siteSelect = NULL,
  PDFout = NULL
)

Arguments

x	A dataframe output from get_localNWIS
log.SSC	Logical, if TRUE, SSC y axis will be log10. Default is FALSE.
log.turb	Logical, if TRUE, Turbidity parameter x axis will be log10. Default is FALSE.
siteSelect	Character, site number to create plots for if x contains multiple sites. Default is NULL.
PDFout	Character. File or full path name of file for plot. If NULL, the default, a plot will be returned in R instead.

Details

Scatterplot of SSC (P80154) vs. Turbidity (Parameter codes 00076, 61028, 63675, 63676, 63677, 63679, 63680, 63681, 63682, 63683, 63684, 72188, 72208, 72209, 72213, 82079, 99872).

Value

If PDFout = NULL, list containing ggplot elements. If PDFout specified, a PDF document containing the plots.

Examples
