Creates a multi-panel summary plot of data measured in a meteorological data
set. cast. The panels are controlled by the which
argument.
a met object.
list of desired plot types.
which=1
gives a time-series plot of temperature
which=2
gives a time-series plot of pressure
which=3
gives a time-series plot of the x (eastward) component of velocity
which=4
gives a time-series plot of the y (northward) component of velocity
which=5
gives a time-series plot of speed
which=6
gives a time-series plot of direction (degrees clockwise from north;
note that the values returned by met[["direction"]]
must be multiplied by 10
to get the direction plotted)
A 3-element numerical vector used with par
("mgp")
to control the spacing of axis elements. The default is tighter than the R default.
A 4-element numerical vector used with par
("mar")
to control the plot margins. The default is tighter than the R default.
optional argument passed to oce.plot.ts()
, for
plot types that call that function. (See strptime()
for the
format used.)
an integer specifying whether debugging information is
to be printed during the processing. This is a general parameter that
is used by many oce
functions. Generally, setting debug=0
turns off the printing, while higher values suggest that more information
be printed. If one function calls another, it usually reduces the value of
debug
first, so that a user can often obtain deeper debugging
by specifying higher debug
values.
If more than one panel is drawn, then on exit from plot.met
, the
value of par
will be reset to the value it had before the function
call. However, if only one panel is drawn, the adjustments to par
made within plot.met
are left in place, so that further additions may
be made to the plot.
