longitudinalData (version 2.4.7)

parWindows: ~ Function: parWindows ~

Description

parWindows is the constructor of object ParWindows.

Usage

parWindows(nbRow, nbCol, addLegend,closeScreen)

Value

An object of class ParWindows.

Arguments

nbRow

[numeric]: Number of row of the screen matrix.

nbCol

[numeric]: Number of column of the screen matrix.

addLegend

[logical]: Shall a legend be added on the graph?

closeScreen

[logical]: Some function need to add details on a graph. This option let them call a plot function that will not call a close.screen on exit, so the graph will be modifiable.

Details

parWindows is the constructor of object ParWindows. Given a number of rows and colonnes, it computes the screenMatrix that is use by split.screen for plot object LongData. If addLegend is true, an extra space is added on the top of the graphes to print the legend.

Examples

### Building ParWindows
(paramWin <- parWindows(3,2,FALSE,TRUE))

### Get
figsScreen <- paramWin['screenMatrix']

### Usage
listScreen <- split.screen(figsScreen)
screen(listScreen[1])
plot(-5:5/10,2.5-(-5:5)^2/20,ylim=c(0,6),axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="",type="l",lwd=3)
lines(-5:5/10,(-5:5)^2/20,ylim=c(0,6),type="l",lwd=3)

screen(listScreen[3])
plot(-5:5/10,2.5-(-5:5)^2/20,ylim=c(0,6),axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="",type="l",lwd=3)
lines(-5:5/10,(-5:5)^2/20,ylim=c(0,6),type="l",lwd=3)

screen(listScreen[5])
plot(-5:5/10,(-5:5)^2/10,ylim=c(0,6),axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="",type="l",lwd=3)
lines(-5:5/10,(-5:5)^2/20+1.25,ylim=c(0,6),type="l",lwd=3)
close.screen(all.screens=TRUE)
