polyhull: Draw Irregular Convex Polygons

Description

Creates a random montage of convex polygons.

Usage

polyhull(num = 100, lambda = 20, size = 0.05,  color = grep("^gray", colors(), value = TRUE), seed = NULL)
quadtile(dims = c(10, 10), color = grep("^gray", colors(), value = TRUE),  seed = NULL)

Arguments

num

number of polygons.

dims

dimensions for a certain matrix.

lambda

control for the random number of sides to the polygons.

size

the maximum radius of a polygon.

color

vector of colors for the polygons.

seed

an integer giving the argument for set.seed.

Value

nothing useful.

Side effects

create a plot on the current graphics device, and modify the random seed.
