plot.angles: W-NOMINATE Cutting Line Angles Plot

In wnominate: Roll Call Analysis Software

W-NOMINATE Cutting Line Angles Plot

Description

plot.angles reads a W-NOMINATE object and plots a histogram of the angles of the cutlines for two dimensions. plot.angles does not work for one-dimensional W-NOMINATE objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'angles'
plot(x, main.title="Cutting Line Angles",
        x.title="Angle in Degrees", y.title="Count",
        dims=c(1,2), ...)

Arguments

x	a wnominate output object.
main.title	string, coordinate plot title.
x.title	string, x-axis label.
y.title	string, y-axis label.
dims	vector of length 2, specifying the dimensions to be plotted.
...	other arguments to hist.

Value

A cutting line angle plot.
