elemIso {GCDkit}R Documentation

Binary plot of a WR geochemical parameter vs isotopic ratio

Description

Plots a diagram of a selected whole-rock geochemical parameter vs initial Sr isotopic ratios or initial ε(Nd) for selected samples. elemIso.png

Usage

    elemIso(xlab=NULL,what=NULL,GUI=FALSE,...)

Arguments

xlab

variable name or a formula for the x axis; if NULL a dialogue is displayed

what

name of the desired isotopic parameter

GUI

logical; is the function called from the GUI?

...

optional parameters to the underlying function {plotWithLimits}

Details

The variable to be plotted as x axis is based on whole-rock geochemical data. If not specified upon the function call, it is selected using the function 'selectColumnLabel'. In the specification of the variable can be used also an arithmetic expression, see calcCore for the correct syntax.

The plotted isotopic parameters (y axis) can be one of:

Menu item Explanation
87Sr/86Sri Initial Sr isotopic ratios
143Nd/144Ndi Initial Nd isotopic ratios
EpsNdi Initial ε(Nd) values
1 stg DM model ages (Goldstein et al. 1988) Single-stage DM Nd model ages
1 stg DM model ages (Liew & Hofmann 1988) Single-stage DM Nd model ages
2 stg DM model ages (Liew & Hofmann 1988) Two-stage DM Nd model ages

If called from GUI, the samples can be selected based on combination of three searching mechanisms (by sample name/label, range or a Boolean condition) - see selectSamples for details.

Value

None.
