plot.paleoTS {paleoTS}R Documentation

Plots paleoTS objects

Description

Plots paleontological time series, showing trait means (with error bars) over time.

Usage

plot.paleoTS(x, nse = 1, yl = NULL, pch = 19, true.means = FALSE, start.time = NULL, add = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x a paleoTS object
nse width of error bars, in standard errors
yl range of trait values to plot
pch plotting character
true.means logical indicating if true means (from simulated data) should also be plotted
start.time Value indicating the absolute age of the oldest sample
add logical, if TRUE data are added to existing plot
... other arguments sent to plot

Details

True means are only available when the data are simulated. If plotted, they are indicated by a dashed blue line.

Value

No values are returned, the results are plotted.
