setMultiPlot: Plot Parameters

In USGS-R/smwrGraphs: Graphing Functions

Plot Parameters

Description

Sets plot control list for individuals in data (support function).

Usage

setMultiPlot(current, Nobs = 1, name = "", what = "points",
  type = "solid", width = "standard", symbol = "circle",
  filled = TRUE, size = 0.09, color = "black", order = "as is")

Arguments

current	the plot parameters specified in the call to the high-level graphing function.
Nobs	the number of observations.
name	the name associated with the observation. See Details.
what	what kind of plot. Must be one of "points," symbols only; "lines," line segments connecting points only; "both," line segments connecting isolated symbols; "overlaid," line segments connecting points with symbols; "stairstep," stairstep line segments; or "vertical," vertical lines from the y-axis origin to the y value at each x value.
type	the type of line, if drawn. Must be one of "solid," "dashed," "dotted."
width	the width of the line, if drawn. Must be one of "standard," resulting in a line width of about 0.7 points; "color," resulting in a line width of about 0.8 points; "bold," resulting in a line width of about 1 point; or "hairline" resulting in a line width of about 0.5 points. Note these values are doubled if the font argument to setPage is "PPT."
symbol	type symbol, if drawn. Must be one of "circle;" "uptri," upward pointing triangle; "plus;" "x;" "diamond;" "downtri," downward pointing triangle; "square;" or "dot."
filled	logical, if TRUE, then fill the symbol. Valid only for symbol equal to "circle," "uptri," "diamond," "downtri," or "square."
size	the size of the symol in inches, if drawn.
color	the color of the plotted values. Can be a named color, such as "black" or "gray50" or an RGB color like "#4056FF."
order	specify the order of the symbols in the explanation. Can be "as is'–do nothing to order in explanation, "sort" or "increasing"—put into sorted order, "decreasing"— put in reverse order; or a vector theat specifies the exact order.

Details

Each of the arguments from name through color must have one entry for each observation. If a single value is given, then it is replicated for each observation. In general, it is convenient to set up a data frame with columns for group names with common values for the line or symbol. It is required that each group have common values for the line or symbol.

Value

A list having two components:

current	a list like current with the defaults set
Explan	a list for creating an explanation
