These functions can serve as one of the arguments panel
,
lower.panel
, upper.panel
, diag.panel
passed to graphics commands like
pairs
or coplot
,
to determine what kind of plotting is done in each panel
of a multi-panel graphical display. In particular they work
with pairs.im
.
The functions panel.contour
and panel.contour
are suitable for the off-diagonal plots which involve
two datasets x
and y
.
They first rescale x
and y
to the unit square,
then apply kernel smoothing with bandwidth sigma
using density.ppp
.
Then panel.contour
draws a contour plot
while panel.image
draws a colour image.
The function panel.histogram
is suitable for the
diagonal plots which involve a single dataset x
.
It displays a histogram of the data.
