MapField

Description

Draws maps of fields in a field object, eg read using retrieve.nc.

Usage

mapField(x,l=NULL,greenwich=TRUE,
                     what="ano",method="nice",val.rng=NULL,
                     col="black",col.coast="grey",lwd=2,lty=1,
                     add=FALSE,las = 1,levels=NULL,xlim=NULL,ylim=NULL)
\arguments{
    \item{x}{ A field object. }
    \item{l}{The field to map. Default: the last field in the record.}
    \item{what}{What to draw: "ano"-> anomalies, "cli"-> climatological
    values, "abs" -> absolute values. }
  \item{method}{"nice" -> this-is-escaped-code{, otherwise use
    this-is-escaped-codenormal-bracket15bracket-normal.}

Arguments

`x`	A field object.
`l`	The field to map. Default: the last field in the record.
`what`	What to draw: "ano"-> anomalies, "cli"-> climatological values, "abs" -> absolute values.
`method`	"nice" -> `filled.contour`, otherwise use `image`.
`val.rng`	Valid range: interval used for colour scale.
`greenwich`	'TRUE' centres on Greenwich meridian.
`col`	Contour line colour for levels.
`col.coast`	Contour line colour for coast lines.
`lwd`	Line width.
`lty`	Line type.
`add`	Adds map to old figure.
`las`	See `par`
`levels`	See `contour`
`xlim`	see `plot`
`ylim`	see `plot`
