tmap {ternvis}

Demonstration of how to make coloured maps of ternary forecasts

Description

An example of how one might make forecast maps using tpalette.

Usage

tmap(dat, iyr, circles = FALSE, fac = 10, theta0 = 0, 
     dich = "none", m = 0.7, palette = TRUE, 
     flip = FALSE)

Arguments

dat

An array of forecasts in a suitable format. See Example code below

iyr

In this example, an integer in the range 1 to 25.

circles

circles = FALSE (the default) fills map with coloured polygons. circles = TRUE fills map with circles whose radii are dependent on verification information.

fac

Scaling factor for size of circles when circles = TRUE.

theta0

Angle to rotate colours on palette. See tcolour.

dich

Optionally render colours as they would appear to a dichromat. See tcolour.

m

Parameter controlling rate at which colours saturate in palette. See tcolour.

palette

Logical. If palette = TRUE a colour palette is included.

flip

Logical to choose whether to switch categories B and A. See tcolour.
