PlotFun | R Documentation |
Plots mathematical expressions in one variable using the formula syntax.
PlotFun(FUN, args = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL, by = NULL,
xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, polar = FALSE, type = "l",
col = par("col"), lwd = par("lwd"), lty = par("lty"),
pch = NA, mar = NULL, add = FALSE, ...)
FUN |
a mathematical expression defined using the formula syntax: |
args |
a list of additional parameters defined in the expression besides the independent variable. |
from , to |
the range over which the function will be plotted. |
by |
number: increment of the sequence. |
xlim , ylim |
|
polar |
logical. Should polar coordinates be used? Defaults to |
type |
plot type: see |
col |
colors of the lines. |
lwd |
line widths for the lines. |
lty |
line type of the lines. |
pch |
plotting 'character', i.e., symbol to use. |
mar |
A numerical vector of the form |
add |
logical; if |
... |
the dots are passed to the plot, resp. lines function. |
A function can be plotted with curve
. This function here adds some more features, one enabling to use a formula for defining the function to plot.
This enables as well a parametric equation to be entered straight forward. Parameters of a function can be set separatedly.
The aspect ratio y/x will be set to 1 by default. (See plot.window
for details.)
If the argument axes
(given in the dots) is not set to FALSE
centered axis at a horizontal and vertical position of 0 will be drawn, containing major and minor ticks.
