linesTile(tile) | R Documentation |
Add a connected line segment to a tile plot
Description
Initializes a simple line graphic. For more advanced features
suitable for summarizing inference from a model, use instead
lineplot
.
This function does no plotting; it only creates a linesTile
object to
be drawn on one or more plots in a tiled arrangement of plots. To
complete the drawing include the object as an input to tile
. From
tile
, it is possible to set further options including plot and
axis titles, axis ranges and labels, logged axes, and annotations to
the plot.
Usage
linesTile(...)
Arguments
... |
Any
number of arguments given below. Must include exactly one horizontal
dimension (x or top ) and exactly one vertical dimension
(y or right ). All inputs should be identified by
appropriate tags; i.e., use linesTile(x=myxvar, y=myyvar) ,
not linesTile(myxvar,myyvar) |
Details
linesTile
simply creates a line or series of connected line
segments to add to a tile plot. It serves as the tile
equivalent to the base
graphics lines
or grid graphics linesGrob
, and is
primarily useful for annotating plots which also use other traces. If
you need to draw a large number of disconnected line segments,
creating a single trace made by polylinesTile
will be much faster
than creating a large number of linesTile traces.
The parameters available for constructing a linesTile
trace are
similar to other trace functions for tile
.
trace functions, then layout function
Value
A linesTile object, used only as an input to tile
