errlines: Plot error bars

In dclone: Data Cloning and MCMC Tools for Maximum Likelihood Methods

Plot error bars

Description

The function plots error bars to existing plot.

Usage

errlines(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
errlines(x, y, type = "l", code = 0, 
    width = 0, vertical = TRUE, col = 1, bg = NA, ...)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector with coordinates along the horizontal axis (if vertical = FALSE, this sets the vertical axis).
y	A matrix-like object with 2 columns for lower and upper values on the vertical axis (if vertical = FALSE, this sets the horizontal axis).
type	Character, "l" for lines, "b" for boxes to be drawn.
code	Integer code, determining the kind of ticks to be drawn. See Details.
width	Numeric, width of the ticks (if type = "l") or width of the boxes (if type = "b").
vertical	Logical, if errorbars should be plotted vertically or horizontally.
col	Color of the error lines to be drawn, recycled if needed.
bg	If type = "b" the background color of the boxes. By default, no background color used.
...	Other arguments passed to the function lines.

Details

The errlines function uses lines to draw error bars to existing plot when type = "l". polygon is used for boxes when type = "b".

If code = 0 no ticks are drawn, if code = 1, only lower ticks are drawn, if code = 2 only lower ticks are drawn, if code = 3 both lower and upper ticks are drawn.

Value

Adds error bars to an existing plot as a side effect. Returns NULL invisibly.

Examples

x <- 1:10
a <- rnorm(10,10)
a <- a[order(a)]
b <- runif(10)
y <- cbind(a-b, a+b+rev(b))
opar <- par(mfrow=c(2, 3))
plot(x, a, ylim = range(y))
errlines(x, y)
plot(x, a, ylim = range(y))
errlines(x, y, width = 0.5, code = 1)
plot(x, a, ylim = range(y), col = 1:10)
errlines(x, y, width = 0.5, code = 3, col = 1:10)
plot(x, a, ylim = range(y))
errlines(x, y, width = 0.5, code = 2, type = "b")
plot(x, a, ylim = range(y))
errlines(x, y, width = 0.5, code = 3, type = "b")
plot(x, a, ylim = range(y), type = "n")
errlines(x, y, width = 0.5, code = 3, type = "b", bg = 1:10)
errlines(x, cbind(a-b/2, a+b/2+rev(b)/2))
