magimage is a level replacement for base image with hooks into magaxis for the tick marks and magmap for the image scaling. The default behavious is a bit different to base (e.g. x/y scales are automatically the number of pixels in the image matrix). magimageRGB is similar, but is for the creation colour images where the user can provide R G B input matrix chanels (or similar).
magimage(x, y, z, zlim, xlim, ylim, col = grey((0:1000)/1000), add = FALSE,
useRaster = TRUE, asp = 1, magmap = TRUE, locut = 0.4, hicut = 0.995, flip = FALSE,
range = c(0, 1), type = "quan", stretch = "asinh", stretchscale = 'auto', bad = NA,
clip = "", axes = TRUE, frame.plot = TRUE, sparse = 'auto', qdiff = FALSE,
rem_med = FALSE, doplot = TRUE, ...)magimageRGB(x, y, R, G, B, saturation = 1, zlim, xlim, ylim, add = FALSE,
useRaster = TRUE, asp = 1, magmap = TRUE, locut = 0.4, hicut = 0.995, flip = FALSE,
range = c(0, 1), type = "quan", stretch = "asinh", stretchscale = "auto",
bad = range[1], clip = "", axes = TRUE, frame.plot = TRUE, sparse = 'auto', ...)
Outputs the final image list containing x,y and z (magimage) or R/G/B (magimageRGB). z is the scaled output (not the native input). Generally run for the side effect of producing rapid and well-scaled image plots.
Locations of grid lines at which the values in z are measured. These must be finite and non-missing (order may be reversed). By default, equally spaced values from 0 to dim(z)[1] are used. If x is a list, its components x$x and x$y are used for x and y, respectively. If the list has component z/R/G/B this is used for z/R/G/B.
A numeric or logical matrix containing the values to be plotted (NAs are allowed). Note that x can be used instead of z for convenience.
A numeric or logical matrix containing the red colour values to be plotted (NAs are allowed). Note that x can be a 3D array or list (containing elements R/G/B) instead of R for convenience, where R=x[,,1].
A numeric or logical matrix containing the green colour values to be plotted (NAs are allowed). Note that x can be a 3D array or list (containing elements R/G/B) instead of G for convenience, where G=x[,,2].
A numeric or logical matrix containing the blue colour values to be plotted (NAs are allowed). Note that x can be a 3D array or list (containing elements R/G/B) instead of B for convenience, where B=x[,,3].
The visual saturation of the colours, a bit like the dial on a TV. 1 is native, 0 is black and white, 2 is very intense nigh-on trippy.
The z limit with respect to the output of magmap$map. If magmap=FALSE (default) zlim should be with respect to the provided z matrix (like base image). If magmap=TRUE zlim should be with respect to the range output of magmap. By default the magmap function scales between 0 and 1, so to only show the brighter pixels zlim could be set to c(0.5,1).
Ranges for the plotted x and y values, defaulting to the ranges of x and y.
A list of colours for the magmap re-mapping of z to be parsed into (e.g. rainbow, heat.colors, topo.colors, terrain.colors or similar).
If true add the new image to the current plot.
If TRUE a bitmap raster is used to plot the image instead of polygons. The grid must be regular in that case, otherwise an error is raised. Raster is much faster, so use when pixels are equal sized.
The y/x aspect ratio
If TRUE then magmap scaling is applied to the z dimension (default), if FALSE then it is not.
The low limit to clip the z data at (what this means varies depending on the 'type' option). For magimageRGB this can be a single value (used for R, G and B) or a vector of length 3 (used for R, G and B respectively). See magmap for more information.
The high limit to clip the z data at (what this means varies depending on the 'type' option). For magimageRGB this can be a single value (used for R, G and B) or a vector of length 3 (used for R, G and B respectively). See magmap for more information.
Should the z scaling be flipped. This allows numbers from 0 to 10 to be mapped from 1 to 0 (so ordered back to front with respect to the input). See magmap for more information.
The numerical range of the output z mapping which should be a vector of length two specifying c(low,high). See magmap for more information.
The type of z mapping attempted. Options are 'quan' (default), 'num', 'sig' and 'rank'. See magmap for more information.
stretch='lin' gives linear mapping. stretch='log' gives logarithmic mapping. stretch='atan' gives atan mapping. stretch='asinh' gives asinh mapping. stretch='sqrt' gives sqrt mapping. See magmap for more information.
A number to multiply the z data by before applying the stretch. This only has a user impact for stretch='atan' and stretch='asinh' since it controls what parts of the data is in the linear or logarithmic regime of the stretch procedure. If set to 'auto' (the default) it uses 1/median(abs(data)) to find a useful scale.See magmap for more information. For magimageRGB this can be a single value (used for R, G and B) or a vector of length 3 (used for R, G and B respectively). See magmap for more information.
Sets the value that NA, NaN and infinite input z data should be set to in the final map output. This should be thought of in the context of the range argument, i.e. if bad=range[1] then bad values will be the low range value and if bad=range[2] bad values will be the high range value. See magmap for more information. For magimageRGB bad is set to range[1] by default since this removes RGB conversion errors that would be experiences with NA values (i.e. negative values when stretch='log').
By default clipped z values inherit the nearest lo/hi value (depending on which side they are clipped). Setting clip='NA' will set values outside the 'lo' and 'hi' values to be NA (currently this is the only other clip option). See magmap for more information.
Specify if any axes be drawn on the image. If FALSE then only the pixels (with appropriate magmap scaling) are shown.
Specify if a box be drawn around the image frame. Only happens if add=TRUE and axes=TRUE.
Determines whether the image pixels are sparse sampled to speed up plotting. If set to 2 it will only determine every 2nd pixel, and if 3 every 3rd etc. The default 'auto' means it will scale to produce a maximum number of 1,000 pixels on any side (on most monitors this is a fairly useful maximum, and ensures quick displaying of even very large images).
Logical; if the z axis being plotted, this will set all the various parameters that make for a visually useful difference plot, where -ve difference values become blue, 0 difference values are yellow, and +ve difference values are red.
Logical; should the median of the image be subtracted or not? This is often useful in conjunction with qdiff = TRUE.
Logical; if TRUE then gnerates the image. If FALSE then just return the output below (with z scaled as request).
Arguments to be parsed to image and magaxis as relevant (this is checked for internally by argument name). See image and magaxis for details.
