library(RODBC) library(HYDAT) You will need to install HYDAT (the zip file) from http://www.geog.ubc.ca/~rdmoore/Rcode.htm
Below is my current code - which works. The [[]] is the way i am accessing the columns from the data frame. thanks again for all your help!!!! # load HYDAT data par(mfrow=c(3,1)) path <- 'c:\\HYDAT' wsc.id <- '11AB075' stn <- ReadHydatFile(path, wsc.id) #if data in CDROM image # stn <- ReadHydatDatabase (path, wsc.id) #if data in database # subset daily flow record for plotting purposes dates <- c(as.Date('1927-01-01'), as.Date('1960-12-31')) decade <- subset(stn[['flow']][['daily']], date >= dates[1] & date <= dates[2]) # identify days flagged as backwater ('B') or estimated ('E') # daily.flags is a vector of color names used to apply to points daily.flags <- rep('NA', nrow(decade)) daily.flags[which(decade[['flag']] == 'A')] <- 'goldenrod' daily.flags[which(decade[['flag']] == 'E')] <- 'red' daily.flags[which(decade[['flag']] == 'B')] <- 'blue' # subset daily flow record for plotting purposes dates <- c(as.Date('1970-01-01'), as.Date('2008-12-31')) decade <- subset(stn[['flow']][['daily']], date >= dates[1] & date <= dates[2]) # identify days flagged as backwater ('B') or estimated ('E') # daily.flags is a vector of color names used to apply to points daily.flags <- rep('NA', nrow(decade)) daily.flags[which(decade[['flag']] == 'A')] <- 'goldenrod' daily.flags[which(decade[['flag']] == 'E')] <- 'red' daily.flags[which(decade[['flag']] == 'B')] <- 'blue' # last plot entire series with subtitle as a light gray line plot ( decade[['date']], decade[['value']], type = 'l', col = 'lightsteelblue4', ylab = 'Discharge [cms]', main = sprintf('%s [%s]', stn[['metadata']][['name']], stn[['metadata']][['id']]), sub = sprintf('Seasonal station with natural streamflow - Lat: %s Lon: %s Gross Area %s\km\UB2 - Effective Area %s\km\UB2', stn[['metadata']][['latitude']], stn[['metadata']][['longitude']],stn[['metadata']][['grossarea']], stn[['metadata']][['effectivearea']], cex.sub = 1, font.sub = 3, col.sub = "black" )) # overlay the points where the daily value has been flagged. # Note the daily.flags array contains NAs for days when not flagged, so these will not show up as # points in the plot. lines ( decade[['date']], decade[['value']], type = 'p', cex = 0.1, pch = 20, col = daily.flags ) # slap a legend on the plot... legend ( x = 'topright', legend = c('Partial', 'Estimated', 'Backwater', 'Not flagged (A, E or B)'), lty = c(0,0,0,1), pch = c(20,20,20,NA), col = c('goldenrod','red','blue','lightsteelblue4'), cex = 0.75 ) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Superscripts-and-rounding-tp24682319p24726439.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
