In plotfunctions: Various Functions to Facilitate Visualization of Data and Analysis

Description

Function for rounding and/or segmenting a range.

Usage

getRange(x, dec = NULL, step = NULL, n.seg = 2)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector.
dec	Number of decimal points for rounding using function round. Applied after argument step. If NULL (default), no rounding is applied.
step	Round the
n.seg	Numeric value, number of values in the equally spaced sequence. Default is 2 (min, max).

Value

vector, range of equally spaced sequence.

Examples

zlim <- c(-2.5, 3.01)
# does not change anything:
getRange(zlim)
# create a range of 5 numbers: 
# (basically just using seq )
getRange(zlim, n.seg=5)
# rounds the numbers:
getRange(zlim, dec=0)
getRange(zlim, n.seg=5, dec=0)
# extreme values are multiplications of 5
# that contains zlim values:
getRange(zlim, step=5)
getRange(zlim, step=5, n.seg=5)
# similar, but not the same:
getRange(zlim, n.seg=5, dec=0)
getRange(zlim, n.seg=5, step=1)
# combining:
getRange(zlim, n.seg=5, step=1, dec=0)
