Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

This function is a wrapper to sendplot that will create a single interactive image

sendimage(plot.call,
          x, y, z,
          z.value="value",
          x.lbls = NA,y.lbls=NA,xy.lbls=NA,
          x.links=NA, y.links=NA,
          xy.links=NA,asLinks=NA,
          mai=NA, mai.prc=FALSE,plt.extras=NA,
          bound.pt=FALSE, source.plot=NA,
          paint=FALSE, img.prog=NA,
          resize="800x1100",
          ps.paper="letter",ps.width=8,ps.height=11,
          fname.root="test",dir="./",header="v2",
          up.left=c(188,103),low.right=c(648,912),
          spot.radius=5, automap=FALSE, automap.method="mode")

`plot.call`	character vector containing single plot call
`x`	vector of x locations for interactive points
`y`	vector of y locations for interactive points
`z`	vector of z values for image call
`z.value`	character vector indicating the label for what the z argument holds.
`x.lbls`	data frame of n x m which contains values relating to the x axis of the plot call. n should be the length of the x argument. m columns contains information regarding sample. This information is displayed in the interactive plot window
`y.lbls`	data frame of n x m which contains values relating to the y axis of the plot. n should be the length of the y argument. m columns contains information regarding sample. This information is displayed in the interactive plot window
`xy.lbls`	list of matricies. All matricies should be of n x m where n is the length of y and m is the length of x. This information is displayed in the interactive plot window
`x.links`	data frame of n x m which contains web addresses for links relating to the x axis of the first plot. n should be the length of the x argument. m columns contains information regarding sample. This information is displayed as hyperlinks in the interactive plot window.
`y.links`	data frame of n x m which contains web addresses for links relating to the y axis of the first plot. n should be the length of the y argument. m columns contains information regarding sample. This information is displayed as hyperlinks in the interactive plot window.
`xy.links`	list of matricies. All matricies should be of n x m where n is the length of y and m is the length of x. This information is displayed in the interactive plot window as hyperlinks. The values in these matricies should be complete web address
`asLinks`	contains complete web address for points that should be treated as hyperlinks. May be a data.frame or matrix of n x m where n is the length of y and m is the length of x, a vector of length x indicating x specific links that will be repeated, a vector of length y indicating y specific links that will be repeated, a non NA value of length 1 that will be repeated for all points, or a vector of length x*y
`mai`	margins for each side of the plot.If NA uses default margins
`plt.extras`	List of additional plotting calls that should be executed for the plot.
`mai.prc`	logical indicating if mai mat values are percentages or hard coded values. If mai.proc is T, indicates percentage.
`bound.pt`	logical indicating if red points should be plotted to aid in finding the upper left and lower right coordinates. If bound.pt is FALSE, indicates that up.left and low.right arguments are correct and will make the html file
`source.plot`	Indicates whether application should make a postscript file and then convert to png file, or if the png file should be made directly. This value is either ps, png, or NA. If NA the operating system is checked and the appropraite file format is output. Unix has a convert function that can convert a ps file to png file; we by default use this setup because we feel the postscript file maintains better quality. So on unix/linux systems if source.plot is NA, source.plot will be set to ps. Windows does not have this option, for this reason source.plot will be set to png if left NA
`paint`	logical indicating if application should automatically open .png file for the user to view .png file and/or to retrieve needed bounding values of the plot call
`img.prog`	If paint is TRUE, the command line call that will open a program to view .png file to retrieve pixil locations of interactive plot bounds. If this is left NA, the operating system is checked and a default program is used. For unix the default application is kolourpaint and for windows it is microsoft paint (mspaint)
`resize`	character indicating resize value. The postscript version will be resized to this value when converted to .png.
`ps.paper`	postscript paper argument
`ps.width`	poscript width argument
`ps.height`	postscript height argument
`fname.root`	Base name to use for posctscript, .png, and html file names.
`dir`	directory path to where files should be created
`header`	May either be v1 or v2. This determines which tooltip header will be in the html file. Each version has different features or works well with different web browsers. see sp.header for details.
`up.left`	The x and y value in pixels of the upper left hand corner of the plot call
`low.right`	The x and y value in pixels of the lower right hand corner of the plot call.
`spot.radius`	radius of circle in pixels indicating area that will be interactive around the center of interactive points
`automap`	automatic detection of up.left and low.right bound points. Fully functional on linux/unix machines only.
`automap.method`	Method to detect upper and lower bounds. Current options are mode or median

This function is a wrapper for the sendplot function to create a single interacive image. See sendplot for more information.

Users are encouraged to read the package vignette which includes a detailed discussion of all function arguments as well as several useful examples.

Creates a static .ps and .png file, and an interactive html file

The interactive html plot currently only works in web browsers that implement java script.

The code used to create the javascript embedded in html file is a modified version of the javascript code or from the open source tooltip library. see reference links

This function is deprecated. Please see imagesend for updated version.
