fullaxis: Add an axis with a line to the edge of the plot

In plotrix: Various Plotting Functions

Add an axis with a line to the edge of the plot

Description

As ‘⁠axis⁠’, but draws a "box" line in the same color as the axis.

Usage

 fullaxis(side=1,at=NULL,labels=TRUE,line=NA,pos=NA,outer=FALSE,
 font=NA,lty="solid",lwd=1,lwd.ticks=lwd,col=NULL,col.ticks=NULL,
 hadj=NA,padj=NA,...)

Arguments

side	The side of the plot to draw the axis
at	Optional positions in user units for the tick marks.
labels	Optional labels for the tick marks.
line	Optional line into the margin.
pos	Optional position in user units for the axis. Defaults to the edge.
outer	Whether to use the outer margin as for ‘⁠axis⁠’.
font	Font for the labels.
lty	Line type.
lwd	Line width for the axis.
lwd.ticks	Line width for the ticks.
col	color for the axis and tick marks. See Details for label color.
col.ticks	Color for the tick marks if different from the axis.
hadj,padj	Justification for the labels. See ‘⁠axis⁠’.
...	Further arguments passed to ‘⁠axis⁠’.

Details

‘⁠fullaxis⁠’ draws a line to the edges of the plot and then calls ‘⁠axis⁠’ to draw an axis. ‘⁠fullaxis⁠’ is mainly useful for drawing a colored axis on a boxed plot. In order to get the tick labels the same color as the axis and ticks, pass the ‘⁠col.axis⁠’ argument (as part of ...) as well as ‘⁠col⁠’. See the example for some useful tips.

Value

The positions of the tick marks in user units.
