updateusr | R Documentation |
For a traditional graphics plot this function will update the 'usr' coordinates by transforming a pair of points from the current usr coordinates to those specified.
updateusr(x1, y1 = NULL, x2, y2 = NULL)
x1 |
The x-coords of 2 points in the current 'usr' coordianates,
or anything that can be passed to |
y1 |
The y-coords of 2 points in the current 'usr' coordinates, or an object representing the points in the new 'usr' coordinates. |
x2 |
The x-coords for the 2 points in the new coordinates. |
y2 |
The y-coords for the 2 points in the new coordinates. |
Sometimes graphs (in the traditional graphing scheme) end up with usr
coordinates different from expected for adding to the plot (for
example barplot
does not center the bars at integers). This
function will take 2 points in the current 'usr' coordinates and the
desired 'usr' coordinates of the 2 points and transform the user
coordinates to make this happen. The updating only shifts and scales
the coordinates, it does not do any rotation or warping transforms.
If x1
and y1
are lists or matricies and x2
and
y2
are not specified, then x1
is taken to be the
coordinates in the current system and y1
is the coordinates in
the new system.
Currently you need to give the function exactly 2 points in each system. The 2 points cannot have the same x values or y values in either system.

Currently you need to give coordinates for exactly 2 points without missing values. Future versions of the function will allow missing values or multiple points.
