akq_plotfdc: Plot Decadal Flow-Duration Curves

In wasquith-usgs/akqdecay: Many Distributional Statistics of USGS Daily Streamflow Hydrographs and Powerful Utilities

Description

Plot decadal flow-duration curves on a streamgage-by-streamgage basis using the data frame assembled by the fdclmr(..., decade=TRUE) function.

Usage

akq_plotfdc(gagefdc, site="", file=NA, rev.decades=TRUE,
                     showtitle=TRUE, ylim=NULL, return.fdc=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

gagefdc	An R data.frame from fdclmr with the decade=TRUE argument triggered;
site	A name or site identification number;
file	An optional file name for a portable document format file of the plot;
showtitle	A logical to trigger a helpful title for the plot that will include the site. This title is helpful in batch processing and report assembly because it acts as a caption of sorts;
rev.decades	The plot ordering of the decades. The default (TRUE) causes later decades with their larger symbol size to be plotted first and the earliest decades to be plotted last;
ylim	A means to insert vertical axis limits under user's control. This potentially could be useful in some circumstances;
return.fdc	A logical to trigger returning of the flow-duration curve data frame used to construct the plot. This data frame sees removal of decades for which some streamflows were present but the decade was not complete and all the quantiles were simply NA (missing); and
...	Additional arguments to pass.

Value

This function has no returned value and is intended for its side effects.
