cyclesPlot {transmem}

Plots transport profiles for processes involving several cycles

Description

Given the data (data frames) of a transport process that was carried in several cycles (e.g. membrane reuse or metal concentration studies), plots the transport profiles like in a continuous experiment indicating the end of each cycle

Usage

cyclesPlot(trans, xlab = "Time (h)", ylab = expression(Phi), xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL, xbreaks = NULL, ybreaks = NULL, size = 1.8,
  legend = FALSE)

Arguments

trans

List containing the (ordered) transport data of each cycle. Each data frame must be generated using conc2frac.

xlab

Label to be used for x axis. Text and expression allowed.

ylab

Label to be used for y axis. Text and expression allowed.

xlim

Numeric vector of limits for X-axis.

ylim

Numeric vector of limits for X-axis.

xbreaks

Numeric vector of x-axis breaks.

ybreaks

Numeric vector of x-axis breaks.

size

Size used for points in the plot.

legend

Logical. If FALSE, the default, the legend is not included.

Details

If a concentration experiment has been made through the cycles, it is recommended the y-axis to be in concentration scale instead of fractions. To get the transport data frame in concentration units use conc2frac(..., normalize = FALSE). For more details see conc2frac.

Most transmem graphical representations are made using the package ggplot2 so the function returns a ggplot2 object that can be assigned to a variable for further modification.

Value

Plot of the transport process carried in several cycles
