makereport: Make a PDF report of several YplantQMC objects
In YplantQMC: Plant architectural analysis with Yplant and QuasiMC.

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) See Also

Produce a report containing standard graphs and summaries of YplantQMC objects. See Details for usage.

makereport(plant = NULL, 
	phy = NULL, 
	met = NULL, 
	hemi = NULL, 
	ypsim = NULL, 
	filename = NA)

`plant`	An object of class 'plant3d', see `constructplant`
`phy`	An object of class 'ypphy', see `setPhy`
`hemi`	An object of class 'yphemi', see `setHemi`
`met`	An object of class 'ypmet', see `setMet`
`ypsim`	An object of class 'yplantsim', see `YplantDay`
`filename`	Optional, the name of the output file

This function produces a number of standard plots and prints of five different YplantQMC objects. The plots cannot at the moment not be customized; please see below for the component functions that generate the plots (these usually have more options for customization). Or, modify the code of makereport as you see fit.

To create a report, simply use this command:

1 2	makereport(plant=myplant, met=asunnyday, phy=eucleaf, hemi=mycanopy, ypsim=eucsim1)

Where myplant, asunnyday, eucleaf, mycanopy and eucsim1 are objects that you have already generated. The function is flexible : you can generate a report on a subset of the objects, for example only on the hemiphoto and the plant:

1	makereport(plant=myplant, hemi=spruceforest)

You may want to check out the following functions, which are used in makereport:

viewplot: Produces a three-panel plot with side and top views of the plant.
summary.plant3d: Summarizes a plant
setHemi: Reads a hemiphoto - also describes the plot function.
fitdistribution: Fits (and plots) a leaf angle distribution.
setMet: Constructs (and plots) a weather object.
plot.leaffile: Plots a leaf.
YplantDay: A daily Yplant simulation (and a standard plot).

A PDF is generated in the current working directory.

Note that makereport might fail if you have a PDF open with the same name (as you may have generated this report once before on the same day). Make sure to close the PDF before running makereport. If a PDF is generated that can't be opened, use this command:
