PlotArea: Create an Area Plot

Description

Produce a stacked area plot, or add polygons to an existing plot.

Usage

# S3 method for default
PlotArea(x, y = NULL, prop = FALSE, add = FALSE, xlab = NULL,
         ylab = NULL, col = NULL, frame.plot = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for formula
PlotArea(formula, data, subset, na.action, ...)

Value

Matrix of cumulative sums that was used for plotting.

Arguments

x

numeric vector of x values, or if y=NULL a numeric vector of y values. Can also be a 1-dimensional table (x values in names, y values in array), matrix or 2-dimensional table (x values in row names and y values in columns), a data frame (x values in first column and y values in subsequent columns), or a time-series object of class ts/mts.

y

numeric vector of y values, or a matrix containing y values in columns.

prop

whether data should be plotted as proportions, so stacked areas equal 1.

add

whether polygons should be added to an existing plot.

xlab

label for x axis.

ylab

label for y axis.

col

fill color of polygon(s). The default is a vector of gray colors.

frame.plot

a logical indicating whether a box should be drawn around the plot.

formula

a formula, such as y ~ x or cbind(y1, y2) ~ x, specifying x and y values. A dot on the left-hand side, formula = . ~ x, means all variables except the one specified on the right-hand side.

data

a data frame (or list) from which the variables in formula should be taken.

subset

an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used.

na.action

a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NA values. Defaults to getOption("na.action").

...

further arguments are passed to matplot and polygon.

PlotArea(x=as.Date(rownames(tab)), y=tab, xaxt="n", xlab="Date", ylab="Pizzas delivered" )

# add x-axis and some text labels
