Mosaic Plots

Description

Plots a mosaic on the current graphics device.

Usage

PlotMosaic(x, main = deparse(substitute(x)), horiz = TRUE, cols = NULL,
           off = 0.02, mar = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL,
           cex = par("cex"), las = 2, ...)

Arguments

x	a contingency table in array form, with optional category labels specified in the dimnames(x) attribute. The table is best created by the table() command. So far only 2-way tables are allowed.
main	character string for the mosaic title.
horiz	logical, defining the orientation of the mosaicplot. TRUE (default) makes a horizontal plot.
cols	the colors of the plot.
off	the offset between the rectangles. Default is 0.02.
mar	the margin for the plot.
xlab, ylab	x- and y-axis labels used for the plot; by default, the first and second element of names(dimnames(X)) (i.e., the name of the first and second variable in X).
cex	numeric character expansion factor; multiplied by par("cex") yields the final character size. NULL and NA are equivalent to 1.0.
las	the style of axis labels. 0 - parallel to the axis, 1 - horizontal, 2 - perpendicular, 3 - vertical.
...	additional arguments are passed to the text function.

Details

The reason for this function to exist are the unsatisfying labels in base mosaicplot.

Value

list with the midpoints of the rectangles
