Creates barcharts from phytoplankton summary data

phyto_plotR takes a file path to summary data and a date and produces "present" and "prior sample" barcharts of phytoplankton counts per site.

Usage

phyto_plotR(summary, date, SHELL = FALSE)

Arguments

summary: a character file path to the location of the `summaries/` directory.
date: a character representation of the date chosen for the "present" barchart in the format "yyyymmdd".

Details

This function can only be run on data created by running the (phyto_groupR) function. It will read in all the summary data then based on the provided date, produce a barchart for that date and the prior sample's summary in the one output.

As data is gathered for each estuary on consecutive days, the choice of date will determine which river summaries will be plotted. That choice will be reflected in the sites plotted in the barcharts. These barcharts will be exported (as pdf) to the `summaries/` directory.

Lastly this function will export a "running_datasheet" that contains all summary data for the estuary prior to and including the date requested.
