Plot time series data for a particular species

Usage

plot_ts(
  itis = NULL,
  stock = NULL,
  metric = "Catch",
  facetplot = FALSE,
  printfig = TRUE
)

Arguments

itis

Numeric. Species ITIS code

stock

Character. Full name of stock (only required if more than one stock exists for ITIS code)

metric

Character vector. Specifying which metric to plot (Catch, Abundance, Fmort, Recruitment)

facetplot

Boolean. How to plot results. Plot each assessment in its own facet (TRUE) or pplot all assessments on a single plot (default = FALSE)

printfig

Boolean. Print figure to figure window (Default = T)

Value

A list of two items is returned

plot

ggplot object

data

dataframe used in the plotting

Units

The units of some of the metrics change over time. For example, catch for one assessment may be presented in metric tons whereas other assessments may be in thousand metric tons. This is not resolved in the plotting. When this arises it is best to use facet = TRUE since each facet uses its own yaxis scale
