plotFun.stn: Plot map with stations.

In anacv/plotFun: Helper functions for plotting data

Plot map with stations.

Description

Plot a map with point stations, either a single plot or multiplot. A common colorbar is set for a multiplot.

Usage

plotFun.stn(data, lon, lat, xlims, ylims, lattice = NULL,
  breaks = NULL, palette = rainbow(10), window.width = 8,
  window.height = 6, title.main = NULL, title.single = NULL,
  unit.text = NULL, mark.border = TRUE, cex.marker = 1,
  cex.main = 1, cex.single = 1, cex.unit = 1, cex.textcbar = 1,
  width.cbar = 0.1, disp.warnings = FALSE, axis.lab = FALSE,
  export = FALSE, export.format = NULL, export.path = NULL,
  text = NULL, cex.text = 1, map.fill = FALSE, map.col = "grey89")

Arguments

data	vector or matrix to be plotted. When it is a matrix, a multiplot is generated (each row of data is plotted in a subplot).
lon	vector of longitudes. It must have the same length as data (or number of columns in data).
lat	vector of latitudes. It must have the same length as data (or number of columns in data).
xlims	2-element vector defining the minimum and maximum longitud for the plotting area.
ylims	2-element vector defining the minimum and maximum latitude for the plotting area.
lattice	in multiple plots, 2-element vector giving the number of rows and columns to display the multiplot.
breaks	vector of values defining the intervals to be used in the colorbar.
palette	character vector with the colors for the plot. They will be interpolated to match the number of intervals defined by breaks.
window.width	sets the width of the device window. Modify this argument to improve the appearance. Default:8.
window.height	sets the height of the device window. Modify this argument to improve the appearance. Default:6.
title.main	character string with the main title.
title.single	(optional): in multiple plots, a character vector with the individual titles for single plots.
unit.text	character string to be placed in the colorbar with the units.
mark.border	logical. If black contour for the cicles is plotted. Default=TRUE.
cex.marker	numeric value giving the marker expansion factor. Default: 1.
cex.main	numeric value giving the title expansion factor. Default: 1.
cex.single	(optional): in multiple plots, numeric value giving the title expansion factor. Default: 1.
cex.unit	numeric value giving the expansion factor of the units text. Default:1.
cex.textcbar	numeric value giving the expansion factor of the text in the colorbar. Default:1.
width.cbar	numeric value giving the fraction of the plot (from 0 to 1) reserved for the colorbar. Modify this argument for a better appearance. Default=0.1
disp.warnings	logical to set if warnings shoul be displayed.
axis.lab	display or not lon/lat ticks and labels. Default=FALSE
export	logical. If TRUE, the figure is exported as pdf file. Default: False.
export.format	"png" or "pdf" format.
export.path	path (including file name) to save the plot.
text	display some text in each point. Length should be the same as lat and lon.
cex.text	numeric value giving the text expansion factor. Default: 1.
map.fill	logical. If map is filled with colour in ‘map.col’. Default: FALSE
map.col	Colour for the map (continent). Default: grey89.
