SparseM.image: Image Plot for Sparse Matrices

Description

Display the pattern of non-zero entries of a matrix of class matrix.csr.

Usage

# S4 method for matrix.csr
image(x, col=c("white","gray"),
      xlab="column", ylab="row", ...)

Arguments

x

a matrix of class matrix.csr.

col

a list of colors such as that generated by rainbow. Defaults to c("white","gray")

xlab,ylab

each a character string giving the labels for the x and y axis.

...

additional arguments.

Details
