wnominate (version 1.4)

plot.angles: W-NOMINATE Cutting Line Angles Plot

Description

plot.angles reads a W-NOMINATE object and plots a histogram of the angles of the cutlines for two dimensions. plot.angles does not work for one-dimensional W-NOMINATE objects.

Usage

# S3 method for angles
plot(x, main.title="Cutting Line Angles",
        x.title="Angle in Degrees", y.title="Count",
        dims=c(1,2),...)

Value

A cutting line angle plot.

Arguments

x

a wnominate output object.

main.title

string, coordinate plot title.

x.title

string, x-axis label.

y.title

string, y-axis label.

dims

vector of length 2, specifying the dimensions to be plotted.

...

other arguments to hist.
