Correlplot (version 1.0-2)

correlogram: Plot a correlogram

Description

correlogram plots a correlogram for a correlation matrix.

Usage

correlogram(R,labs=colnames(R),ifun="cos",cex=1,main="",ntrials=10, xlim=c(-1.2,1.2),ylim=c(-1.2,1.2),...)

Arguments

R

a correlation matrix.

labs

a vector of labels for the variables.

ifun

the interpretation function ("cos" or "lincos")

cex

character expansion factor for the variable labels

main

a title for the correlogram

ntrials

number of starting points for the optimization routine

xlim

limits for the x axis (e.g. c(-1.2,1.2))

ylim

limits for the y axis (e.g. c(-1.2,1.2))

...

additional arguments for the plot function.

Value

Details

correlogram makes a correlogram on the basis of a set of angles. All angles are given w.r.t the positive x-axis. Variables are represented by unit vectors emanating from the origin.
