Manually map parameters for the historical period of operating model

Description

Interactive plots to specify trends and variability in fishing effort, fleet selectivity, and natural mortality for the operating model.

Usage

ChooseEffort(Fleet, Years = NULL)

ChooseM(OM, type = c("age", "length"), x = NULL, y = NULL)

ChooseSelect(Fleet, Stock, FstYr = NULL, SelYears = NULL)

Arguments

Fleet

A fleet object.

Years

An optional vector of years. Should be nyears long.

OM

An object of class 'OM'

type

A character string - is M to be mapped by 'age' or 'length'?

x

Optional vector for x-axis

y

Optional vector for y-axis

Stock

Optional Stock object. If provided, average length-at-maturity is included on plot for reference.

FstYr

Optional value for first historical year. If empty, user must specify the year in console.

SelYears

Optional vector of values for each year where selectivity pattern changed. If empty, user must specify the years in console (comma separated).

Details

ChooseEffort	Interactive plot which allows users to specify the relative trajectory and variability in the historical fishing effort and populates Fleet object.
ChooseM	Interactive plot which allows users to specify M by age or size class
ChooseSelect	Input the first historical year, and all years where selectivity pattern changed (separated by comma). Interactive plot which allows users to specify a range for the length at 5\ selectivity at maximum length for each year. Produces a simple plot which shows the range in selectivity pattern for each break-point year. Selectivity-at-length is fixed in between break-point years. Note that this function replaces 'nyears' in the Fleet object with the value defined here (FstYr:current year).

Value

ChooseEffort and ChooseSelect return a Fleet object while ChooseM returns an OM object.
