Convenient xyplot with Differently Colored Margin and Plot Region

Description

Convenient xyplot with Colored Background. Background of margin may be chosen independently from background in plot region.

Usage

poster.plot(x, y = NULL, type = "p",
            col = col.fg, col.axis = col.fg, col.lab = col.fg,
            col.fg = "blue", col.bg = "lavender", col.box = "cornsilk",
            xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, xlab = "", ylab = "",
            main = "", cex = 1.2, axes = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	A vector, data.frame or matrix. When x is data.frame or matrix only first two columns are used.
y	A vector or NULL
type	See Argument type in par
col	Color of points. If length(col) > 1, colors are recycled.
col.axis	Color of axis.
col.lab	Color of labels on axis.
col.fg	Color of foreground.
col.bg	Color of background outside of figure.
col.box	Color of background inside of figure
xlim	Limits of x-axis.
ylim	Limits of y-axis
xlab	Label of x-axis
ylab	Label of y-axis
main	Titel.
cex	Size of characters.
axes	Should axis be plotted?
...	Additional arguments to par.

Details

Side effect: par options will remain changed so that other graphic elements can be added comfortably.

Examples

poster.plot(iris[,1],iris[,2],
            xlab="Sepal.Length", ylab="Sepal.Width")

poster.plot(iris[,1], col="red", col.box="grey95", ylab="Sepal.Length")

## plotting lines
n <- 200
freq <- 1:n
y <- sin(freq/n*4*pi)*cos(freq/n*3*pi) + 0.1*rnorm(n)
poster.plot(y,col.fg="grey30",type="l")
