Seasonal plot

Description

Plots a seasonal plot as described in Hyndman and Athanasopoulos (2014, chapter 2). This is like a time plot except that the data are plotted against the seasons in separate years.

Usage

seasonplot(x, s, season.labels=NULL, year.labels=FALSE,
    year.labels.left=FALSE, type="o", main, xlab=NULL, ylab="",
    col=1, labelgap=0.1, ...)

ggseasonplot(x, year.labels=FALSE, year.labels.left=FALSE,
    type=NULL, col=NULL, continuous=FALSE, polar=FALSE,
    labelgap=0.04, ...)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector or time series.

s

seasonal frequency of x

season.labels

Labels for each season in the "year"

year.labels

Logical flag indicating whether labels for each year of data should be plotted on the right.

year.labels.left

Logical flag indicating whether labels for each year of data should be plotted on the left.

type

plot type (as for plot). Not yet supported for ggseasonplot.

main

Main title.

xlab

X-axis label.

ylab

Y-axis label.

col

Colour

continuous

Should the colour scheme for years be continuous or discrete?

polar

Plot the graph on seasonal coordinates

labelgap
