changing scale on heat map (thermal profile through time)

[KRChristianson]

I am trying to compare heat maps of different waters, however, the thermal scale of varying colors changes from map to map, making it difficult to make comparisons. Any ideas on how to be able to set a color scale?

[jordansread]

I like this idea, and I think it should be supported.

I would suggest adding an additional argument to the heatmap functions that lets you pass in a range. Right now I think you can specify a palette, but the range is auto-calculated, which is a bit limiting.

working on a pull request for this. But it is just for plot_temp_compare and plot_var_compare for now. Are you using plot_var?

Syntax

sim_folder <- run_example_sim(verbose = FALSE)
nc_file <- file.path(sim_folder, 'output.nc')
nml_file <- file.path(sim_folder, 'glm2.nml')
field_file <- file.path(sim_folder, 'field_data.tsv')

plot_temp_compare(nc_file, field_file, fig_path='test.png', col_lim=c(3.5,35))

This will lock the color range to 3.5-35°C

Thanks.
I am getting an error that states col_lim is not a graphical parameter

I think you will need to update the package @KRChristianson

library(devtools)
install_github('USGS-R/glmtools')

does that work for you?

[KRChristianson]

I received the following error: Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]],
c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :
there is no package called ‘sp’

You had that error with this command?

library(devtools)
install_github('USGS-R/glmtools')

if you don't have devtools, can you install it w/ install.packages('devtools')?

[lawinslow]

I've gotten that before. It's sometimes useful to restart R and force the sp package install.

install.packages('sp')
library(devtools)
install_github('USGS-R/glmtools')

[jordansread]

yeah, but glmtools doesn't use sp, right?

[KRChristianson]

That worked! Many thanks! I am still working on learning the workings of
R...

No, but for whatever reason, I've run into that exact thing on various packages.

[jordansread]

weird. Haven't hit that one. Keep us posted as to how that new col_lim thing works @KRChristianson
