Draw a corner showing the angle between two vectors

Description

A utility function for drawing vector diagrams. Draws two line segments to indicate the angle between two vectors, typically used for indicating orthogonal vectors are at right angles in 2D and 3D diagrams.

Usage

corner(p1, p2, p3, d = 0.1, absolute = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

p1	Starting point of first vector
p2	End point of first vector, and also start of second vector
p3	End point of second vector
d	The distance from p2 along each vector for drawing their corner
absolute	logical; if TRUE, d is taken as an absolute distance along the vectors; otherwise it is calculated as a relative distance, i.e., a fraction of the length of the vectors. See pointOnLine for the precise definition.
...	Arguments passed to link[graphics]{lines} or to link[rgl]{lines3d}

Details

In this implementation, the two vectors are specified by three points, p1, p2, p3, meaning a line from p1 to p2, and another line from p2 to p3.

Value

none
