Plot a wind-rose diagram
plot.windrose(x, type=c("count","mean","median","fivenum"), mgp=getOption("oce.mgp"), mar=c(mgp[1], mgp[1], 1+mgp[1], mgp[1]), col, ...)
x |
a windrose object, e.g. as created by as.windrose . |
type |
the thing to be plotted, either the number of counts in
the angle interval, the mean of the values in the interval, the
median of the values, or a fivenum representation of
the values. |
mgp |
3-element numerical vector to use for par(mgp) , and
also for par(mar) , computed from this. The default is
tighter than the R default, in order to use more space for the
data and less for the axes. |
mar |
value to be used with par("mar") . |
col |
an optional list of colours to use. If not set, the
colours will be c("red", "pink", "blue", "lightgray") . For
the first three types of plot, the first colour in this list is
used to fill in the rose, the third is used for the petals of the
rose, and the fourth is used for grid lines. For the
"fivenum" type, the first colour is used for the
inter-quartile range, the second is used outside this range, the
third is used for the median, and the fourth is, again, used for
the grid lines. |
... |
optional arguments passed to plotting functions. |

as.windrose
creates a wind-rose object, and
summary.windrose
produces a numerical summary.
