Draw a mooring diagram

Plot a side-view diagram that indicates mooring geometry.

Arguments

x

a mooring object, created with mooring().

which

character value indicating the desired plot, with choices: "shape" (the default), "knockdown", "tension" and "velocity".

showInterfaces

logical value indicating whether to indicate the water surface with a blue line and the ocean bottom with a brown line.

showDepths

logical value indicating whether to indicate the depths of floats, to the left of the symbols.

showLabels

logical value indicating whether to indicate anchors, instruments and floats with A, I and F, respectively.

showDetails

logical value indicating whether to show details for anchors, instruments and floats with text.

fancy

logical value indicating whether to indicate the water and sediments with filled rectangles. The alternative is a simpler plot.

title

character value indicating a title to put above the plot.

mar

numeric vector of length 4, used to set margins outside axes. The default values reduce whitespace. See par().

mgp

numeric vector of length 3, with a default that reduces axis whitespace. See par().

xaxs, yaxs

character values that control axis ranges. See par().

xlim

optional numeric vector of length 2 that can be used to specify the limits of the horizontal axis.

type

character value indicating type of plot. The default, "l", means to draw lines, while e.g. "p" means to draw points.

debug

an integer value (or a numeric that can be converted to an integer) that controls debugging. If this is positive, then some debugging information may be printed by the function.

Examples

# Create, summarize, and plot a simple mooring comprising
# a bottom anchor, a 100-metre wire, and a float, in
# a current of 1 m/s.
library(mooring)
m <- mooring(anchor(), wire(length = 80), float("HMB 20"), waterDepth = 100) |>
    segmentize() |>
    knockdown(u = 1)
plot(m)

plot(m, which = "tension")
