PlotClim

Plots Climatologies

Description

Plots climatologies as a function of the forecast time for any index output from Clim() and organized in matrix with dimensions:
c(nmod/nexp, nmemb/nparam, nltime) or c(nmod/nexp, nltime) for the experiment data
c(nobs, nmemb, nltime) or c(nobs, nltime) for the observational data

Usage

PlotClim(
  exp_clim,
  obs_clim = NULL,
  toptitle = "",
  ytitle = "",
  monini = 1,
  freq = 12,
  limits = NULL,
  listexp = c("exp1", "exp2", "exp3"),
  listobs = c("obs1", "obs2", "obs3"),
  biglab = FALSE,
  leg = TRUE,
  sizetit = 1,
  fileout = "output_plotclim.eps",
  width = 8,
  height = 5,
  size_units = "in",
  res = 100,
  ...
)

Arguments

`exp_clim`	Matrix containing the experimental data with dimensions: c(nmod/nexp, nmemb/nparam, nltime) or c(nmod/nexp, nltime)
`obs_clim`	Matrix containing the observational data (optional) with dimensions: c(nobs, nmemb, nltime) or c(nobs, nltime)
`toptitle`	Main title, optional.
`ytitle`	Title of Y-axis, optional.
`monini`	Starting month between 1 and 12. Default = 1.
`freq`	1 = yearly, 12 = monthly, 4 = seasonal, ... Default = 12.
`limits`	c(lower limit, upper limit): limits of the Y-axis, optional.
`listexp`	List of experiment names, optional.
`listobs`	List of observational dataset names, optional.
`biglab`	TRUE/FALSE for presentation/paper plot. Default = FALSE.
`leg`	TRUE/FALSE to plot the legend or not.
`sizetit`	Multiplicative factor to scale title size, optional.
`fileout`	Name of output file. Extensions allowed: eps/ps, jpeg, png, pdf, bmp and tiff. Default = 'output_plotclim.eps'.
`width`	File width, in the units specified in the parameter size_units (inches by default). Takes 8 by default.
`height`	File height, in the units specified in the parameter size_units (inches by default). Takes 5 by default.
`size_units`	Units of the size of the device (file or window) to plot in. Inches ('in') by default. See ?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.
`res`	Resolution of the device (file or window) to plot in. See ?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.
`...`	Arguments to be passed to the method. Only accepts the following graphical parameters: adj ann ask bg bty cex.sub cin col.axis col.lab col.main col.sub cra crt csi cxy err family fg fig font font.axis font.lab font.main font.sub lend lheight ljoin lmitre mar mex mfcol mfrow mfg mkh oma omd omi page pch plt smo srt tck usr xaxp xaxs xaxt xlog xpd yaxp yaxs yaxt ylbias ylog For more information about the parameters see 'par'.
