Usage

grid.segments(x0 = unit(0, "npc"), y0 = unit(0, "npc"), x1 = unit(1, "npc"), y1 = unit(1, "npc"), default.units = "npc", arrow = NULL, name = NULL, gp = gpar(), draw = TRUE, vp = NULL) segmentsGrob(x0 = unit(0, "npc"), y0 = unit(0, "npc"), x1 = unit(1, "npc"), y1 = unit(1, "npc"), default.units = "npc", arrow = NULL, name = NULL, gp = gpar(), vp = NULL)

Arguments

x0
Numeric indicating the starting x-values of the line segments.
y0
Numeric indicating the starting y-values of the line segments.
x1
Numeric indicating the stopping x-values of the line segments.
y1
Numeric indicating the stopping y-values of the line segments.
default.units
