## Plot argo data

### Description

Plot a summary diagram for argo data.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'argo'
    plot(x, which = 1, level,
         coastline=c("best", "coastlineWorld", "coastlineWorldMedium",
                     "coastlineWorldFine", "none"),
         cex=1, pch=1, type='p', col, fill=FALSE,
         adorn=NULL,
         projection=NULL, parameters=NULL, orientation=NULL,
         mgp=getOption("oceMgp"), mar=c(mgp[1]+1.5, mgp[1]+1.5, 1.5, 1.5),
         tformat,
         debug=getOption("oceDebug"), ...)

### Arguments

`x` | A `argo` object, e.g. as read by `read.argo`.

`which`

list of desired plot types.

- `which=1` or `which="trajectory"` gives a plot of the argo trajectory, with the coastline, if one is provided.

- `which=2` or `"salinity ts"` gives a time series of salinity at the indicated level(s)

- `which=3` or `"temperature ts"` gives a time series of temperature at the indicated level(s)

- `which=4` or `"TS"` gives a TS diagram at the indicated level(s)

- `which=5` or `"salinity profile"` gives a salinity profile of all the data (with S and p trimmed to the 1 and 99 percentiles)

- `which=6` or `"temperature profile"` gives a temperature profile (with T and p trimmed to the 1 and 99 percentiles)

`level` | level to plot, for e.g. `which=2` and higher. May be an integer, in which case it refers to an index of depth (1 being the top) or it may be the string "all" which means to plot all data.
`coastline` | string giving the coastline to be used in an Argo-location map, or `"best"` to pick the one with highest resolution, or `"none"` to avoid drawing the coastline.
`cex` | size of plotting symbols to be used if `type='p'`.
`pch` | type of plotting symbols to be used if `type='p'`.
`type` | plot type, either `"l"` or `"p"`.
`col` | optional list of colours for plotting.
`fill` | either a logical, indicating whether to fill the land with light-gray, or a colour name. Owing to problems with some projections, the default is not to fill.
`adorn` | list of expressions to be executed for the panels in turn, e.g. to adorn the plots. If the number matches the number of panels, then the strings are applied to the appropriate panels, as they are drawn from top-left to bottom-right. If only a single expression is provided, it is used for all panels. (See “Examples”.)
`mgp` | 3-element numerical vector to use for `par(mgp)`, and also for `par(mar)`, computed from this. The default is tighter than the R default, in order to use more space for the data and less for the axes.
`projection, parameters, orientation` | parameters specifying map projection; see `mapPlot`. If `projection="automatic"`, however, a projection is devised from the data, with `stereographic` if the mean latitude exceeds 70N and `mollweide` otherwise.
`mar` | value to be used with `par("mar")`.
`tformat` | optional argument passed to `oce.plot.ts`, for plot types that call that function. (See `strptime` for the format used.)
`debug` | debugging flag
`...` | optional arguments passed to plotting functions.
