draw.ccurve {IntCal}

Draw a calibration curve.

Description

Draw one or two of the calibration curves, or add a calibration curve to an existing plot.

Usage

draw.ccurve(
  cal1 = -50,
  cal2 = 55000,
  cc1 = "IntCal20",
  cc2 = NA,
  cc1.postbomb = FALSE,
  cc2.postbomb = FALSE,
  BCAD = FALSE,
  cal.lab = NA,
  cal.rev = FALSE,
  c14.lab = NA,
  c14.lim = NA,
  c14.rev = FALSE,
  ka = FALSE,
  add.yaxis = FALSE,
  cc1.col = rgb(0, 0, 1, 0.5),
  cc1.fill = rgb(0, 0, 1, 0.2),
  cc2.col = rgb(0, 0.5, 0, 0.5),
  cc2.fill = rgb(0, 0.5, 0, 0.2),
  add = FALSE,
  bty = "l",
  ccdir = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

cal1

First calendar year for the plot

cal2

Last calendar year for the plot

cc1

Name of the calibration curve. Can be "IntCal20", "Marine20", "SHCal20", or for the previous curves "IntCal13", "Marine13" or "SHCal13". Can also be "nh1", "nh2", "nh3", "sh1-2", "sh3", "nh1_monthly", "nh1_monthly", "nh2_monthly", "nh3_monthly", "sh1-2_monthly", "sh3_monthly", "Kure", "LevinKromer" or "Santos" for postbomb curves.

cc2

Optional second calibration curve to plot. Can be "IntCal20", "Marine20", "SHCal20", or for the previous curves "IntCal13", "Marine13" or "SHCal13". Defaults to nothing, NA.

cc1.postbomb

Use postbomb=TRUE to get a postbomb calibration curve for cc1 (default cc1.postbomb=FALSE).

cc2.postbomb

Use postbomb=TRUE to get a postbomb calibration curve for cc2 (default cc2.postbomb=FALSE).

BCAD

The calendar scale of graphs and age output-files is in cal BP (calendar or calibrated years before the present, where the present is AD 1950) by default, but can be changed to BC/AD using BCAD=TRUE.

cal.lab

The labels for the calendar axis (default age.lab="cal BP" or "BC/AD" if BCAD=TRUE), or to age.lab="kcal BP" etc. if ka=TRUE.

cal.rev

Reverse the calendar axis.

c14.lab

Label for the C-14 axis. Defaults to 14C BP (or 14C kBP if ka=TRUE).

c14.lim

Axis limits for the C-14 axis. Calculated automatically by default.

c14.rev

Reverse the C-14 axis.

ka

Use kcal BP (and C14 kBP).

add.yaxis

Whether or not to plot the second calibration. Defaults to add.yaxis=FALSE.

cc1.col

Colour of the calibration curve (outline).

cc1.fill

Colour of the calibration curve (fill).

cc2.col

Colour of the calibration curve (outline), if activated (default cc2=NA).

cc2.fill

Colour of the calibration curve (fill), if activated (default cc2=NA).

add

Whether or not to add the curve(s) to an existing plot. Defaults to FALSE, which draws a new plot

bty

Draw a box around a box of a certain shape. Defaults to bty="l".

ccdir

Directory of the calibration curves. Defaults to where the package's files are stored (system.file), but can be set to, e.g., ccdir="curves".

...

Any additional optional plotting parameters.

Value

The calibration curve (invisible).

Examples

draw.ccurve()
draw.ccurve(1000, 3000, cc2="Marine20")
draw.ccurve(1800, 2020, BCAD=TRUE, cc2="nh1", cc2.postbomb=TRUE)
draw.ccurve(1800, 2010, BCAD=TRUE, cc2="nh1", add.yaxis=TRUE)
