Matrixplot
Description
Plots a color matrix, representing the values stored in x
.
Originally, it was thought to represent the amount of days with information per year in a set of gauging stations, but it can be used for plotting the information stored in any two dimensional matrix.
Usage
matrixplot(x, ColorRamp="Days", ncolors = 70, main = "", ...)
Arguments
x |
matrix to be plotted. Originally: |
ColorRamp |
Character or function defining a personalized color ramp for plotting the maps. |
ncolors |
numeric, indicating the number of color intervals that will be used for representing the information content of |
main |
Main title for the plot |
... |

Examples
## Loading the SanMartino precipitation data
data(SanMartinoPPts)
# Selecting only the values up to Dec/1960
x <- window(SanMartinoPPts, end=as.Date("1960-12-31"))
## Daily zoo to monthly zoo
m <- daily2monthly(x, FUN=sum, na.rm=TRUE)
# Creating a data.frame with monthly values per year in each column
M <- matrix(m, ncol=12, byrow=TRUE)
colnames(M) <- month.abb
rownames(M) <- unique(format(time(m), "%Y"))
# Plotting the monthly precipitation values from 1921 to 1960.
# Useful for identifying dry/wet months
matrixplot(M, ColorRamp="Precipitation",
main="Monthly precipitation at San Martino st., [mm/month]")
