Plotranges {LIM}

Plots the minimum and maximum and central values

Description

Plots minimum and maximum ranges.

Takes as input either a lim list, as generated by Setup or a set of vectors specifying the minimum, maximum and the central value, or a data.frame that contains min, max and central values.

Usage

Plotranges(...)
## S3 method for class 'double'
Plotranges(min, max, value = NULL, labels = NULL, log = "",
  pch = 16, pch.col = "black", line.col = "gray", 
  seg.col = "black", xlim = NULL, main = NULL, 
  xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, lab.cex = 1.0, mark = NULL,...)

## S3 method for class 'lim'
Plotranges(lim = NULL, labels = NULL, type = "X", log = "",
  pch = 16, pch.col = "black", line.col = "gray", 
  seg.col = "black", xlim = NULL, main = NULL, 
  xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, lab.cex = 1.0, index = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'character'
Plotranges(file, ...)

Arguments

min

minimum value.

max

maximum value.

value

median or mean value.

lim

a list that contains the linear inverse model specification, as generated by function setup.limfile.

file

name of the inverse input file.

labels

names of each value.

type

one of "X" or "V" for plotting of unknowns (X) or variables.

log

if = x: logarithmic scale for x-axis.

pch

pch symbol used for mean value.

pch.col

pch color for mean value.

line.col

color for each variable, spanning x-axis.

seg.col

color for variable range.

xlim

limits on x-axis.

main

main title.

xlab

x-axis label.

ylab

y-axis label.

lab.cex

label expansion value.

index

list of elements to be plotted, a vector of integers; default = all elements.

mark

list of elements to be marked with a "*", i.e. when range is unbounded.

...

arguments passed to R-function "text" when writing labels.

Value

Only when a lim list was inputted. A data frame with

min

the minimum.

max

the maximum.

values

the central value.

Examples

# The Takapoto food web.
# some ranges extend to infinity - they are marked with "*"
Plotranges(LIMTakapoto, lab.cex = 0.7, sub = "*=unbounded",
           xlab = "mgC/m2/d",  
           main = "Takapoto atoll planktonic food web, Flowranges")
# ranges of variables, exclude first variable
Plotranges(LIMTakapoto, type = "V", lab.cex = 0.7, 
           index = 2:23, xlab = "mgC/m2/d",
           main = "Takapoto atoll planktonic food web, Variable ranges")
