F_2_llines: Replacements of traditional graphics functions

Description

These functions are intended to replace common low level traditional graphics functions, primarily for use in panel functions. The originals can not be used (at least not easily) because lattice panel functions need to use grid graphics. Low level drawing functions in grid can be used directly as well, and is often more flexible. These functions are provided for convenience and portability.

Usage

lplot.xy(xy, type, pch, lty, col, cex, lwd,
         font, fontfamily, fontface,
         col.line, col.symbol, alpha, fill,
         origin = 0, ..., identifier, name.type)
llines(x, ...)
lpoints(x, ...)
ltext(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
llines(x, y = NULL, type = "l",
       col, alpha, lty, lwd, ..., identifier, name.type)
# S3 method for default
lpoints(x, y = NULL, type = "p", col, pch, alpha, fill,
        font, fontfamily, fontface, cex, ..., identifier, name.type)  
# S3 method for default
ltext(x, y = NULL, labels = seq_along(x),
      col, alpha, cex, srt = 0,
      lineheight, font, fontfamily, fontface,
      adj = c(0.5, 0.5), pos = NULL, offset = 0.5, ..., identifier, name.type)  
lsegments(x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2,
          col, alpha, lty, lwd,
          font, fontface, ..., identifier, name.type)
lrect(xleft, ybottom, xright, ytop,
      x = (xleft + xright) / 2,
      y = (ybottom + ytop) / 2,
      width = xright - xleft,
      height = ytop - ybottom,
      col = "transparent",
      border = "black",
      lty = 1, lwd = 1, alpha = 1,
      just = "center",
      hjust = NULL, vjust = NULL,
      font, fontface,
      ..., identifier, name.type)
larrows(x0 = NULL, y0 = NULL, x1, y1, x2 = NULL, y2 = NULL,
        angle = 30, code = 2, length = 0.25, unit = "inches",
        ends = switch(code, "first", "last", "both"),
        type = "open",
        col = add.line$col,
        alpha = add.line$alpha,
        lty = add.line$lty,
        lwd = add.line$lwd,
        fill = NULL, 
        font, fontface,
        ..., identifier, name.type)
lpolygon(x, y = NULL,
         border = "black", col = "transparent", fill = NULL, 
         font, fontface, ..., identifier, name.type)
panel.lines(...)
panel.points(...)
panel.segments(...)
panel.text(...)
panel.rect(...)
panel.arrows(...)
panel.polygon(...)

Arguments

x, y, x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2, xy

locations. x2 and y2 are available for for S compatibility.

length, unit

determines extent of arrow head. length specifies the length in terms of unit, which can be any valid grid unit as long as it doesn't need a data argument. unit defaults to inches, which is the only option in the base version of the function, arrows.

angle, code, type, labels, srt, adj, pos, offset

arguments controlling behaviour. See respective base functions for details. For larrows and panel.larrows, type is either "open" or "closed", indicating the type of arrowhead.

ends

serves the same function as code, using descriptive names rather than integer codes. If specified, this overrides code

col, alpha, lty, lwd, fill, pch, cex, lineheight, font, fontfamily, fontface, col.line, col.symbol, border

graphical parameters. fill applies to points when pch is in 21:25 and specifies the fill color, similar to the bg argument in the base graphics function points. For devices that support alpha-transparency, a numeric argument alpha between 0 and 1 can controls transparency. Be careful with this, since for devices that do not support alpha-transparency, nothing will be drawn at all if this is set to anything other than 0.

fill, font and fontface are included in lrect, larrows, lpolygon, and lsegments only to ensure that they are not passed down (as gpar does not like them).

origin

for type="h" or type="H", the value to which lines drop down.

xleft, ybottom, xright, ytop

see rect

width, height, just, hjust, vjust

finer control over rectangles, see grid.rect

...

extra arguments, passed on to lower level functions as appropriate.

identifier

A character string that is prepended to the name of the grob that is created.

name.type

A character value indicating whether the name of the grob should have panel or strip information added to it. Typically either "panel", "strip", "strip.left", or "" (for no extra information).

Details

These functions are meant to be grid replacements of the corresponding base R graphics functions, to allow existing Trellis code to be used with minimal modification. The functions panel.* are essentally identical to the l* versions, are recommended for use in new code (as opposed to ported code) as they have more readable names.

See the documentation of the base functions for usage. Not all arguments are always supported. All these correspond to the default methods only.
