Change to "plot across all stations"

Issue

From the issues in Frank's email about "plot across all stations":

• it seems all the stations that are near each other in time are stacked. An argument can be added to fix the stacking issue.
  • example: cruise_reports/WS0618, where there are 28 stations present, but only 17 columns on the plot. You may be able to see small white lines on the plot and these are probably the different stations

Possible Update

starting on line 81: cruise_report_template.qmd#L80
you may need to test the result before proceeding.

1. fix stacking issue

• geom_col() + to geom_col(position = position_dodge(preserve = "single")) +
• position_dodge(preserve = "single") this removes the stacking effect to be next to each other

3. reverse depth to start with 0 m at the top

• scale_y_reverse() +
• this just makes 0 depth at the top
• this can be added after labs() or theme_minimal()

example to see the difference:

librarian::shelf(
  quiet = TRUE,
  librarian,
  ggplot2, lubridate, tibble, dplyr
  )

test_data <- 
  tibble(
  date    = c(rep("2020-01-01", 20), rep("2020-01-10", 10)), 
  station = rep(c("stn1", "stn2", "stn3"), each = 10), 
  value   = rep(1:10, 3)
) |>
  mutate(
    date = as_date(date)
  )
 
# original:
ggplot(test_data, aes(x = date, y = value, fill = station)) +
  geom_col()

# updated:
ggplot(test_data, aes(x = date, y = value, fill = station)) +    
  geom_col(position = position_dodge(preserve = "single")) + # <--- fix stacking
  scale_y_reverse()                                          # <--- reverse depth
