plot.interarrival {seas}

Plot interarrivals for precipitation

Description

Plots interarrivals for precipitation using boxplots, giving the typical number of continuous wet days and dry days (or spells) throughout the season. The mean value is also drawn as a single line.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'interarrival'
plot(x, width = 11, start = 1, rep = 0, start.day = 1,
           ylog = FALSE, maxy, main, ...)

Arguments

x

an interarrival object with numbers of dry/wet days

width

size of bin; see mkseas

start

starting bin number; e.g., if width="mon" and start=5, the plot will start on "May" at the left-hand side

rep

repetition of the bins in the boxplot

start.day

when width is numeric, this is the starting day of the year for the fist bin, or it can be a Date to specify a month and day (year is ignored)

ylog

logical; y-axis is logarithmic

maxy

maximum number of days for the y-axis; it can either be passed as c(wet, dry), or as a single value for both

main

main title for plot, otherwise other title will be automatically generated

...

ignored
