Shade | R Documentation |
Sometimes the area under a density curve has to be color shaded, for instance to illustrate a p-value or a specific region under the normal curve.
This function draws a curve corresponding to a function over the interval [from, to]
. It can plot also an expression in the variable xname
, default x
.
Shade(expr, col = par("fg"), breaks, density = 10, n = 101, xname = "x", ...)
expr |
the name of a function, or a |
col |
color to fill or shade the shape with. The default is taken from |
breaks |
numeric, a vector giving the breakpoints between the distinct areas to be shaded differently. Should be finite as there are no plots with infinite limits. |
density |
the density of the lines as needed in polygon. |
n |
integer; the number of x values at which to evaluate. Default is 101. |
xname |
character string giving the name to be used for the x axis. |
... |
the dots are passed on to |
Useful for shading the area under a curve as often needed for explaining significance tests.
A list with components x
and y
of the points that were drawn is returned invisibly.
