Examples


# Fetch historic monthly sea ice data since 1979:
icecurves <- get_icecurves()
#
# Plot output using package's built-in ggplot2 defaults
plot_icecurves(icecurves)

# Or just call plot_icecurves(), which defaults to get_icecurves() dataset
plot_icecurves()

p <- plot_icecurves(icecurves, print = FALSE)
# Modify plot such as: p + ggplot2::labs(title='Shrinking Arctic Sea Ice')
