Plot a Sample Variogram

Description

Creates a variogram plot

Usage

## S3 method for class 'gstatVariogram':
plot(x, model = NULL, ylim, xlim, xlab = "distance", 
        ylab = "semivariance", panel = vgm.panel.xyplot, multipanel = TRUE, plot.numbers = FALSE, 
        scales, ids = x$id, group.id = TRUE, skip, layout, ...)
## S3 method for class 'variogramMap':
plot(x, np = FALSE, skip, threshold, ...)

Arguments

x object of class "gstatVariogram", obtained from the function variogram, possibly containing directional or cross variograms
model in case of a single variogram: a variogram model, as obtained from vgm or fit.variogram, to be drawn as a line in the variogram plot; in case of a set of variograms and cross variograms: a list with variogram models
ylim numeric vector of length 2, limits of the y-axis
xlim numeric vector of length 2, limits of the x-axis
xlab x-axis label
ylab y-axis label
panel panel function
multipanel logical; if TRUE, directional variograms are plotted in different panels, if FALSE, directional variograms are plotted in the same graph, using color, colored lines and symbols to distinguish them
plot.numbers logical or numeric; if TRUE, plot number of point pairs next to each plotted semivariance symbol, if FALSE these are omitted. If numeric, TRUE is assumed and the value is passed as the relative distance to be used between symbols and numeric text values (default 0.03).
scales optional argument that will be passed to xyplot in case of the plotting of variograms and cross variograms; use the value list(relation = "same") if y-axes need to share scales
ids ids of the data variables and variable pairs
group.id logical; control for directional multivariate variograms: if TRUE, panels divide direction and colors indicate variables (ids), if FALSE panels divide variables/variable pairs and colors indicate direction
skip logical; can be used to arrange panels, see xyplot
layout integer vector; can be used to set panel layout: c(ncol,nrow)
np logical (only for plotting variogram maps); if TRUE, plot number of point pairs, if FALSE plot semivariances
threshold semivariogram map values based on fewer point pairs than threshold will not be plotted
... any arguments that will be passed to the panel plotting functions (such as auto.key in examples below)

Value

returns (or plots) the variogram plot

Note

currently, plotting models and/or point pair numbers is not supported when a variogram is both directional and multivariable; also, three-dimensional directional variograms will probably not be displayed correctly.

Examples

data(meuse)
coordinates(meuse) = ~x+y
vgm1 <- variogram(log(zinc)~1, meuse)
plot(vgm1)
model.1 <- fit.variogram(vgm1,vgm(1,"Sph",300,1))
plot(vgm1, model=model.1)
plot(vgm1, plot.numbers = TRUE, pch = "+")
vgm2 <- variogram(log(zinc)~1, meuse, alpha=c(0,45,90,135))
plot(vgm2)
# the following demonstrates plotting of directional models:
model.2 <- vgm(.59,"Sph",926,.06,anis=c(0,0.3))
plot(vgm2, model=model.2)
 
g = gstat(NULL, "zinc < 200", I(zinc<200)~1, meuse)
g = gstat(g, "zinc < 400", I(zinc<400)~1, meuse)
g = gstat(g, "zinc < 800", I(zinc<800)~1, meuse)
# calculate multivariable, directional variogram:
v = variogram(g, alpha=c(0,45,90,135))
plot(v, group.id = FALSE, auto.key = TRUE) # id and id pairs panels
plot(v, group.id = TRUE, auto.key = TRUE)  # direction panels

# variogram maps:
plot(variogram(g, cutoff=1000, width=100, map=TRUE),
    main = "(cross) semivariance maps")
plot(variogram(g, cutoff=1000, width=100, map=TRUE), np=TRUE,
    main = "number of point pairs")
