time_series_plot {cmsafvis}R Documentation

A 'cmsaf' extension for creating time series plots.

Description

This plotting routine generates graphical output for the given variable within the given time range and area. Dependent on the output format a PNG is created.

Usage

time_series_plot(
  variable = NULL,
  infile = NULL,
  selected_number = 1,
  analyze_method = TRUE,
  temp_dir = tempdir(),
  out_dir = getwd(),
  climate_dir = NULL,
  climate_year_start = 1983,
  climate_year_end = 2018,
  start_date = NULL,
  end_date = NULL,
  country_code = "S_A",
  lon_min = NULL,
  lon_max = NULL,
  lat_min = NULL,
  lat_max = NULL,
  outfile_name = NULL,
  output_format = "graphic",
  language = "eng",
  keep_files = TRUE,
  states = FALSE,
  attach = FALSE,
  infile_attach = "auto",
  title = "",
  verbose = TRUE,
  nc = NULL
)

Arguments

variable

Name of variable in infile (NULL or character). If NULL then the first variable from the infile is taken.

infile

Path to NetCDF file (NULL or character). If NULL then it needs to be specified in the config file.

selected_number

Timesteps of the same selected time range (Warming Stripes Plots, Time Series Plots, Trend Plots)

analyze_method

Two analyze methods: mean == FALSE; accumulate == TRUE (logical) (Warming Stripes Plots, Time Series Plots, Trend Plots)

temp_dir

Path to temporary working directory (character).

out_dir

Path to output directory (character).

climate_dir

Path to directory in which climatology is computed or contained (NULL or character). If NULL then the temp_dir directory is taken.

climate_year_start

Start year of climatology (integer).

climate_year_end

End year of climatology (integer).

start_date

Start date in format of 'YYYY-MM-DD' (NULL or character). If NULL then the first date of the infile is used.

end_date

End date in format of 'YYYY-MM-DD' (NULL or character). If NULL then the last date of the infile is used.

country_code

Either a country code in iso3c format or from the following: 'AFR' for Africa, 'EUR' for Europe, 'TOT' for the total disc, or 'S_A' for an arbitrary region selection (character). If a country is passed the data from within this country is extracted, else a rectangular box is visualized. Directly provided latitude and longitude ranges will be ignored in case of 'AFR', 'EUR' or 'TOT'.

lon_min

Longitude of lower left corner (NULL or numeric). If NULL then the smallest longitude of the infile is used.

lon_max

Longitude of upper right left corner (NULL or numeric). If NULL then the largest longitude of the infile is used.

lat_min

Latitude of lower left corner (NULL or numeric). If NULL then the smallest latitude of the infile is used.

lat_max

Latitude of upper right corner (NULL or numeric). If NULL then the largest latitude of the infile is used.

outfile_name

Filename of the PNG or MP4 outfile (NULL or character). If NULL then a name is computed from the current configuration. Please match the file ending according to the output_format.

output_format

Specification of output format (either 'graphic' for PNG or 'animation' for MP4).

language

Language used for title, legend, etc. in plots (either 'eng' for English or 'deu' for German).

keep_files

A flag indicating whether all files created in the process of obtaining the output file should be kept (logical). If false, all intermediate results are deleted, otherwise all are kept. Keeping these files could improve performance in further function calls.

states

Whether to crop/plot administration level of states (logical).

attach

Whether to temporaly merge the infile to an already existing one. (logical).

infile_attach

File to attach the infile to. When 'auto', a suitable file will be searched in out_dir. If attach is false, this will be ignored(character).

title

Set title (character).

verbose

Whether to display progress messages (logical).

nc

Alternatively to infile you can specify the input as an object of class ncdf4 (as returned from ncdf4::nc_open).
