pc.lines: Plot period and cohort effects in an APC-frame.

Description

When an APC-frame has been produced by apc.frame, this function draws curves in the period/cohort part of the frame.

Usage

pc.points( x, y, ... ) pc.lines( x, y, ... ) pc.matpoints( x, y, ... ) pc.matlines( x, y, ... ) cp.points( x, y, ... ) cp.lines( x, y, ... ) cp.matpoints( x, y, ... ) cp.matlines( x, y, ... )

Arguments

x
vector of x-coordinates.
y
vector of y-coordinates.
...
Further parameters to be transmitted to points, lines, matpoints or matlines used for plotting the three sets of curves.

Value

The functions return nothing.

Details

Since the Age-part of the frame is referred to by its real coordinates plotting in the calendar time part requires translation and scaling to put things correctly there, that is done by the functions pc.points etc.

The functions cp.points etc. are just synonyms for these, in recognition of the fact that you can never remember whether it is "pc" pr "cp".
