The R package berryFunctions, available at github.com/brry and CRAN, contains my collection of miscellaneous functions. A lot is related to plotting and hydrology (Vignette Rmd source).

Package installation

install.packages("berryFunctions")

Dataframe Operations

# Convert list with vectors of unequal length to one single data.frame: l2df
eglist <- list(AB=c(6,9,2,6), CD=1:8, EF=c(-3,2) )
eglist
l2df(eglist)  # names are even kept

addRows(MYDF, 3)
insertRows(MYDF, 2, 10:11)

Graphics

Color palettes: seqPal, divPal, showPal
Plot simulation results as result ranges: quantileBands, ciBand

showPal(cex=3)

locLine()

Hydrology

QSIM <- lsc(PREC, QOBS, area=10, returnsim=TRUE, plot=FALSE)

Programming

tmessage, twarning, tstop: explicit tracing of messages, warnings and errors:

lower <- function(a, s) {tmessage("some stuff with ", a+10, skip=s); a}
upper <- function(b, skip=0) lower(b+5, skip)
upper(3) 

tryStack: tracing any message / warning error in other people's code, can also log to a file:

lower <- function(a) {message("fake message, a = ", a); a+10}
middle <- function(b) {plot(b, main=b) ; warning("fake warning, b = ", b); lower(b) }
upper <- function(c) {cat("printing c:", c, "\n") ; middle(c)}
tryStack(upper("42") )
