General plotting function for simulated data

A general function that plots the simulation object. Includes four different plots: equilbrium size structure, maturity and selectivity curves, growth curves, and relative Yield, YPR, SPR, SSB, and Recruitment curves.

plotSim(LB_obj = NULL, type = c("all", "len.freq", "growth",
  "maturity.select", "yield.curve"), lf.type = c("catch", "pop"),
  growth.type = c("LAA", "WAA"), y.type = c("SPR", "SSB", "Yield",
  "YPR"), x.type = c("FM", "SSB", "SPR"), perRec = FALSE,
  inc.SPR = TRUE, Cols = NULL, size.axtex = 12, size.title = 14,
  size.SPR = 4, size.leg = 12, inc.pts = TRUE, size.pt = 4)

Arguments

LB_obj	an object of class 'LB_obj' that contains the life history and fishing information
type	a character value indicating which plots to include: "all", "len.freq", "growth", "maturity.select", "yield.curve"
lf.type	a character value indicating if the catch or pop (population) should be plotted for the length frequency
growth.type	should growth be plotted as length-at-age ("LAA") or weight-at-age ("WAA")
y.type	what curves should be plotted on y-axis? "SPR", "SSB", "Yield", "YPR"
x.type	what curves should be plotted on x-axis? "FM", "SSB", "SPR"
perRec	a logical to indicate if plot should be per-recruit (ignore steepness) or not (zero recruitment if SPR below replacement level)
inc.SPR	a logical to indicate if SPR value should be printed in top right corner of plot
Cols	optional character vector of colours for the plot
size.axtex	size of the axis text
size.title	size of axis title
size.SPR	size of SPR text
size.leg	size of legend text
inc.pts	Include points on the plots?
size.pt	size of the points on the plots

Value

a ggplot object

Examples

 LB_pars <- new("LB_pars")
#> A blank LB_pars object created
#> Default values have been set for some parameters
 LB_pars@MK <- 1.5
 LB_pars@Linf <- 100
 LB_pars@L50 <- 50
 LB_pars@L95 <- 55
 LB_pars@SL50 <- 60
 LB_pars@SL95 <- 65
 LB_pars@FM <- 1
 Sim <- LBSPRsim(LB_pars)
#> BinMax not set. Using default of 1.3 Linf
#> BinMin not set. Using default value of 0
#> BinWidth not set. Using default value of 1/20 Linf
