In RAMpath: Structural Equation Modeling Using the Reticular Action Model (RAM) Notation

Plot the path diagram according to RAM path and bridges or Plot the vector field for the bivariate latent change score model

Description

Plot the path diagram according to RAM path and bridges or Plot the vector field for the bivariate latent change score model

Usage

## S3 method for class 'RAMpath'
plot(x, file, from, to, type = c("path", "bridge"), 
size = c(8, 8), node.font = c("Helvetica", 14), edge.font = c("Helvetica", 10),
rank.direction = c("LR", "TB"), digits = 2, output.type = c("graphics", "dot"),
graphics.fmt = "pdf", dot.options = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'blcs'
plot(x, ylim, xlim, ninterval=10, scale=.1, length=.25, 
scatter=TRUE, n=20, alpha=.95, ...)

Arguments

x	Output from the ramPathBridge function or Output from the ramBLCS function
file	File name for the generated figures
from	from variable: path starts from this variable
to	to variable: path ends on this variable
type	path: to plot the effect path; bridge: to plot the bridges path
size	The size of the plot in inches
node.font	The size of the text for the variables
edge.font	The size of the text on the pahts
rank.direction	LR: from left to right; TB: from top to bottom.
digits	Digits of numbers to plot
output.type	If "graphics", the default, both a ".dot" file and a graphics file will be created.
graphics.fmt	a graphics format recognized by the dot program; the default is "pdf"; graphics.fmt is also used for the extension of the graphics file that is created.
dot.options	options to be passed to the dot program, given as a character string.
ylim	Range of y data, for example, c(0,80) from 0 to 80
xlim	Range of x data, for example, c(0,80) from 0 to 80
ninterval	Number of intervals for plotting. The default is 10.
scale	Time interval to calculate vector fields.
length	The length of arrows to plot
scatter	Whether to plot the data points
n	The number of data points to be plotted
alpha	The confidence level to calculate the ellipse
...	Options for plot and arrows function.
