pplot.pcd {precintcon}

Plot Precipitation Concentration Degree

Description

Plots the Precipitation Concentraition Degre per year of a precipitation serie.

Usage

pplot.pcd(..., xlab = "Year", ylab = "PCD", 
       ylim = c(0,360), legend = NULL, fontsize = 10, axis.text.color = "black", 
       export = FALSE, export.name = "pcd_plot.png", width = 8.6, 
       height = 7.5, units = "cm")

Arguments

xlab

the text for the x axis. (Default value: "Year")

ylab

the text for the y axis. (Default value: "PCD")

ylim

the limits of the y axis. (Default value: c(0, 360))

legend

the text vector for the legend items. If NULL the legends will be equals to the variable names. (Default value: NULL)

fontsize

the font size value in pt. (Default value: 10)

axis.text.color

export

the logical value for defining whether the graph should be export to a file or not. (Default value: FALSE)

export.name

the text for defining the exported file name. It is only used if export = TRUE. (Default value: "pcd_plot.png")

width

the number for defining the exported graph width. It is only used if export = TRUE. (Default value: 8.6)

height

the number for defining the exported graph height. It is only used if export = TRUE. (Default value: 7.5)

units

the text for defining the units of the height and width parameters. It is only used if export = TRUE. (Default value: "cm")

...

a set of daily or monthly precipitation series.
