Draws dilution culture setup

Description

Draws the framework of a dilution culture. Used as a template to plot the flow diagrams for dilution-type models, where there is a continuous inflow of medium from a vessel into a well-stirred tank (the culture vessel). The volume in the culture tank stays constant.

Usage

dilution(main = c("",""), int = "")

Arguments

main	main text, consiting of two strings, positioned above medium vessel (1st string) and culture vessel (2nd string) of dilution diagram plot
int	text above the dripping outlets

Value

a list containing:

p1	two-valued vector with the x-y positions of the middle of the (large) culture vessel
p2	two-valued vector with the x-y positions of the middle of the (small) medium vessel

Examples

par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0))                         
dd <- dilution(main = c("Stock", "Stirred tank"), int = "Flow,Q")
text(dd$p2[1], dd$p2[2], "Ain", font = 2)
text(dd$p1[1], dd$p1[2]+0.03, "Volume V", font = 2)
text(dd$p1[1], dd$p1[2]-0.03, "[A]", font = 2)
