  period,
  out_name = NULL,
  start_month = NULL,
  end_month = NULL,
  allow_NA = NULL
)

  allow_NA = NULL
)

## S4 method for signature 'hydroMet_DGI'
agg_hydroMet(
  obj,
  slot_name,
  col_name,
  fun,
  period,
  out_name = NULL,
  start_month = NULL,
  end_month = NULL,
  allow_NA = NULL
)

## S4 method for signature 'hydroMet_CR2'
agg_hydroMet(
  obj,
  slot_name,
  col_name,
  fun,
  period,
  out_name = NULL,

  slot_name,
  col_name,
  fun,
  period,
  out_name = NULL,
  start_month = NULL,
  end_month = NULL,
  allow_NA = NULL
)

Arguments

obj

an hydroMet_XXX class object. This method is not allowed for hydroMet_compact class. This is because this class was thought as ready to use, so when building this class you should have already aggregated your data.
slot_name

a single or vector string containing the slot(s) to aggregate.
col_name

a single or vector string with the name of the column to aggregate in slot_name.
fun

a single or vector string containing one of the following functions: mean, min, max or sum.
period

a single or vector string with the period of aggregation: hourly, daily, monthly, annual or climatic. NOTE_1: the 'climatic' option returns the all series annual statistics ('fun'). NOTE_2: if the object is of class hydroMet_IANIGLA you must provide a single period value.
out_name

optional. Single or vector string with the output column name of the variable to aggregate.
start_month

optional. Numeric (or numeric vector) value of the first month. It only makes sense if the period is annual. NOTE: as an example, in case you have just two slots (out of five) that you want to aggregate annually you must provide a vector of length two. Default value is January. NOTE*: if the object is of class hydroMet_IANIGLA you must provide a single start_month value.
end_month

optional. Numeric (or numeric vector) value of the last month. It only makes sense if the period is annual. NOTE: as an example, in case you have just two slots (out of five) that you want to aggregate annually you must provide a vector of length two. Default value es December. NOTE*: if the object is of class hydroMet_IANIGLA you must provide a single end_month value.
allow_NA

optional. Numeric (or numeric vector) value with the maximum allowed number of NA_real_ values. By default the function will not tolerate any NA_real_ in an aggregation period (and will return NA_real_ instead).

Value

An hydroMet_XXX class object with the required slot(s) aggregated.

# Assign as names the files
hydro_files   <- list.files( system.file('extdata', package = "hydroToolkit"), pattern = 'Guido' )
names(cargar) <- hydro_files

# Build the object with the met records
guido <- build_hydroMet(obj = guido, slot_list = cargar, 
               path = system.file('extdata', package = "hydroToolkit") )

# Aggregrate precipitation serie

  fun,
  period,
  out_name,
  start_month = NULL,
  end_month = NULL,
  allow_NA = NULL
)

Arguments

df

data frame with class Date or POSIXct in the first column. The function always aggregates the second column.
fun

string containing one of the following functions: mean, min, max or sum.
period

string with the period of aggregation: hourly, daily, monthly, annual or climatic. NOTE: the 'climatic' option returns the all series annual statistics ('fun').
out_name

string with the output column name of the variable to aggregate.
start_month

optional. Numeric value of the first month. It only makes sense if the period is annual.
end_month

optional. Numeric value of the last month. It only makes sense if the period is annual.
allow_NA

optional. Numeric value with the maximum allowed number of NA_real_ values. By default the function will not tolerate any NA_real_ in an aggregation period (and will return NA_real_ instead).

Value

A data frame with to columns: the date and the aggregated variable.

Examples

# Path to file
dgi_path  <- system.file('extdata', package = "hydroToolkit")

toscas <- read_DGI(file = 'Toscas.xlsx', sheet = 'tmean', path = dgi_path)

# Monthly mean temperature

Automatically load native data files

Description

This method is the recommended one for loading your data-sets (as provided by the agency).

Usage

build_hydroMet(
  obj,
  slot_list,
  path = NULL,
  col_names = NULL,
  start_date = NULL,
  end_date = NULL
)

## S4 method for signature 'hydroMet_BDHI'
build_hydroMet(obj, slot_list, path = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'hydroMet_CR2'
build_hydroMet(obj, slot_list, path = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'hydroMet_DGI'
build_hydroMet(obj, slot_list, path = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'hydroMet_IANIGLA'
build_hydroMet(obj, slot_list, path = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'hydroMet_compact'
build_hydroMet(
  obj,
  slot_list,
  col_names = NULL,
  start_date = NULL,
  end_date = NULL
)

Arguments

obj

an hydroMet_XXX class object (see create_hydroMet).
slot_list

a list containing (in each element) a vector string with the slot names. The name of the list elements are the native file names (e.g.: Qmd_Guido_BDHI.txt). NOTE: when the obj argument is of class hydroMet_compact, slot_list allows to build from multiple objects. So, in this case you have to provide a list of list: the top list contains as names the objects names (as you read them from Global Environment); then every object (top level) contains another list with slot names as names and the column(s) number(s) to extract as numeric value. E.g.: list(bdhi_obj = list(Qmd = 2, Qmm = c(2, 5)), cr2_obj = list(precip = 4) ).
path

string with the files directory. If not provided, the method will use the current working directory. NOTE: this argument is harmless for an object of class hydroMet_compact.
col_names

it just make sense if 'obj' argument is of hydroMet_compact class. String vector with the names of the column output. Default value (NULL) will return expressive column names.
start_date

it just make sense if 'obj' argument is of hydroMet_compact class. String or POSIXct with the starting date to extract. You can use start_date without end_date. In this case you will subset your data from start_date till the end.
end_date

it just make sense if 'obj' argument is of hydroMet_compact class. String or POSIXct with the last date to extract. You can use end_date without start_date. In this case you will subset your data from the beginning till end_date.

Value

An S4 object of class hydroMet_XXX with the data loaded in each slot.

)

Arguments

obj

a valid hydroMet_XXX object.
slot_name

string(s) with the name of the slot(s) to use in plotting.
col_number

numeric (vector) with the column's variable to plot. In case you decide to merge slots you must provide a list in which each element contains the column numbers of the variable to plot.
interactive

logical. Default value, FALSE, will return a ggplot2 class object. Otherwise you will get a plotly one.
line_type

string with line dash type (ggplot2) or mode in plotly case. ggplot2: 'solid' (default value), 'twodash', 'longdash', 'dotted', 'dotdash', 'dashed' or 'blank'. plotly: 'lines' (default value), 'lines+markers' or 'markers'.
line_color

string with a valid color. See 'colors()' or Rcolor document.
x_lab

string with x axis label.
y_lab

string with y axis label. In case you use double_yaxis argument you must supply both c('ylab', 'y2lab').
title_lab

string with the title of the plot. Default is a plot without title.
legend_lab

string with plot label(s) name(s). NOTE: ggplot2 double_yaxis does not support legend_lab in this package version, so giving values to this argument will be harmfulness.
double_yaxis

numeric vector with either 1 (= main axis - left) or 2 (= secondary axis - right) indicating whether the variable should be plotted in either left or right axis. NOTE: in this package version ggplot2 supports just one line plot for each 'y' axis.
list_extra

list with the ggplot2 argument to pass. This argument was design to allow the user to modify ggplot2 arguments (you can find nice examples in ggplot2 - Essentials) NOTE: in this package version this argument doesn't make sense for plotly (except for scatter plot in hydroMet_compact class).
from

string (or POSIXct - valid only in 'BDHI' and 'IANIGLA') with the starting Date. You can use 'from' without 'to'. In this case you will subset your data 'from' till the end.
to

string (or POSIXct - valid only in 'BDHI' and 'IANIGLA') with the ending Date. You can use 'to' without 'from'. In this case you will subset your data from the beginning till 'to'.
scatter

numeric vector of length two with the column number to plot as scatter. The first variable (column number) will be the 'x' variable and the second one the 'y' variable. This argument will work just for class hydroMet_compact.

Value

A ggplot2 or plotly objects to analyze your data.
