Draw a mooring diagram — plot • mooring

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")
