Plot variable by month/year — temp

Returns three plots showing the variable of interest against time (as month or month/year). Plots are raw points by date, number of observations by date, and measures of a representative observation by date.

Usage

temp_plot(
  dat,
  project,
  var.select,
  len.fun = "length",
  agg.fun = "mean",
  date.var = NULL,
  alpha = 0.5,
  pages = "single",
  text.size = 8
)

Arguments

dat: Primary data containing information on hauls or trips. Table in FishSET database contains the string 'MainDataTable'.
project: String, name of project.
var.select: Variable in dat to plot against a date variable.
len.fun: Method, "length" returns the number of observations, "unique" returns the number of unique observations, "percent" returns the percentage of total observations.
agg.fun: Method to aggregate var.select by date. Choices are "mean", "median", "min", "max", or "sum".
date.var: Date variable in dat. Defaults to first date variable in dat set if not defined.
alpha: The opaqueness of each data point in scatterplot. 0 is total transparency and 1 is total opaqueness. Defaults to .5.
pages: Whether to output plots on a single page ("single", the default) or multiple pages ("multi").
text.size: Text size of x-axes.

Value

Returns plot to R console and saves output to the Output folder.

Details

Returns three plots showing the variable of interest against time (as month or month/year). Plots are raw points by time, number of observations by time, and aggregated variable of interest by time.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
temp_plot(pollockMainDataTable, project='pollock', 
          var.select = 'OFFICIAL_TOTAL_CATCH_MT', len.fun = 'percent', 
          agg.fun = 'mean', date.var = 'HAUL_DATE')
          
temp_plot(pollockMainDataTable, project='pollock', 
          var.select = 'OFFICIAL_TOTAL_CATCH_MT', len.fun = 'length',
          agg.fun = 'max')
