rv (version 2.3.2)

abline.rv: Add (Random) Straight Lines to a Plot

Description

abline.rv, with random arguments (i.e. arguments of which at least one is an rv object), plots a sample of lines corresponding to of simulations of rv object x. If the arguments are all numeric (none is an rv object), the function call is passed on to abline.

Usage

abline.rv (a = NULL, b = NULL, h = NULL, v = NULL, …)

Arguments

a

intercept

b

slope

h

y-value(s) horizontal line(s)

v

x-value(s) horizontal line(s)

…

further arguments passed to abline

Details

This is a version of abline that accepts random variable objects for the arguments a, b, h, or v. The number of lines is determined by rvpar("line.sample"), default 20. See the original help page in package `graphics.'
