## S3 method for class 'rivernetwork'
plot(
  x,
  segmentnum = TRUE,
  offset = TRUE,
  lwd = 1,
  cex = 0.6,
  scale = TRUE,
  color = TRUE,
  empty = FALSE,
  linecol = 1,
  xlab = "",
  ylab = "",

)

Arguments

x

The river network object to plot

segmentnum

Whether or not to plot segment numbers (defaults to TRUE)

offset

Whether to offset segment numbers from lines (defaults to TRUE)

lwd

Line width

cex

Global character expansion factor for plotting

scale

color

How to differentiate segments. If color==TRUE (default), segments will be drawn in solid lines with differing colors. If color==FALSE, segments will be drawn in the same color with differing line types.

empty

Creates an empty plot if set to TRUE. Suppresses differentiation by line type if color==FALSE, and suppresses segment number labels. Defaults to FALSE.

linecol

xlab

Label for X-axis (defaults to "")
