linesplot: A spaghetti plot of grouped data

In lmfor: Functions for Forest Biometrics

A spaghetti plot of grouped data

Description

Orders the observations by x and thereafter plots y on x and connects observations of the same group by lines. Useful, for example, to plot a longitudinal dataset.

Usage

linesplot(x, y, group, xlab = "x", ylab = "y", 
          main = "", cex = 0.5, pch = 19, col = 1, col.lin = 1, 
          lw = FALSE, ylim = NULL, xlim = NULL, add = FALSE, lty = "solid", lwd=1)

Arguments

x, y	Numerical vectors of the same length including the x and y variables.
group	The variable specifying the group. Should be of the same length as vectors x and y.
xlab, ylab, main, cex, pch, col, col.lin, xlim, ylim, lty, lwd	Graphical parameters, see par
lw	Boolean. Whether a loess smoother to be added onto the plot.
add	Boolean. Whether to add to an existing plot or to open a new window.

Details

The observations within the group are connected at the increasing order of x.

Value

Used for its side effects.
