schuster {GRTo}

Plot of a phasor walkout for the Schuster's test

Description

This function plots a phasor walkout for the Schuster's test.

Usage

schuster(finame, title = "Schuster's diagram", color = c("black","red","orange",
"green","cyan","navy"), hd = FALSE, colidye = NULL, colidmo = NULL, colidda = NULL, 
colidho = 1, colidmi = 2, colidma = 3, colidz = NULL, utccor = 0, dayt1 = NULL, 
dayt2 = NULL, ysel1 = NULL, ysel2 = NULL, mosel1 = NULL, mosel2 = NULL, 
dasel1 = NULL, dasel2 = NULL, magsel1 = NULL, magsel2 = NULL, zsel1 = NULL, 
zsel2 = NULL, weekday1 = c("mo","tu","we","th","fr","sa","su"), 
weekday2 = c("mo","tu","we","th","fr","sa","su"))

Arguments

finame

name of the file to be loaded

title

main title that will appear in the phasor walkout plot

color

color of the phasor walkout (black/red/orange/green/cyan/navyblue). The first letter is enough to discriminate the color name

hd

logical. Whether finame contains headers or not

colidye

field number for the year values in the loaded file

colidmo

field number for the month values in the loaded file

colidda

field number for the day values in the loaded file

colidho

field number for the hour values in the loaded file

colidmi

field number for the minute values in the loaded file

colidma

field number for the magnitude values in the loaded file

colidz

field number for the depth values in the loaded file

utccor

correction for local time. This value and values of the start and end hours of nighttime are used to filter the daytime seismic noise from the walkout plot

dayt1

the start hour of nighttime in local time

dayt2

the end hour of nighttime in local time

ysel1

minimum year value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

ysel2

maximum year value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

mosel1

minimum month value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

mosel2

maximum month value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

dasel1

minimum day value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

dasel2

maximum day value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

magsel1

minimum magnitude value for selection (Default is NULL, e.g. no selection)

magsel2

maximum magnitude value for selection (Default is NULL, e.g. no selection)

zsel1

minimum depth value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

zsel2

maximum depth value for selection (Default is NULL, e. g. no selection)

weekday1

first day in the week for selection ("mo" for "Monday", "tu" for "Tuesday", "we" for "Wednesday", "th" for "Thursday", "fr" for "Friday", "sa" for "Saturday", "su" for "Sunday")

weekday2

last day in the week for selection ("mo" for "Monday", "tu" for "Tuesday", "we" for "Wednesday", "th" for "Thursday", "fr" for "Friday", "sa" for "Saturday", "su" for "Sunday")

Details

This function reads earthquake times (hour and minutes values are required) in an input file and plots a phasor walkout into a file with name file\_schu.png (png format file). Selections can be performed based on ranges in hour of the day, year, month, day, magnitude, depth and day of the week (in the same week). The correction for local time is such that GMT time + correction (e. g. utccor) = local time.
