plot-methods: Plot a demographic array

In StatisticsNZ/dembase: Analysing Cross-Classified Data about Populations

Description

Methods for function plot which aim to show the main features of a demographic array. Different formats are used for objects of class Counts and Values.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'Counts'
plot(
  x,
  main = NULL,
  cex.main = 1.2,
  col.main = "black",
  font.main = 2,
  las = 1,
  mar = NULL,
  mfrow = NULL,
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'Values'
plot(
  x,
  threshold = 20,
  main = NULL,
  cex.main = 1.2,
  col.main = "black",
  font.main = 2,
  las = 1,
  mar = NULL,
  mfrow = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	Object of class DemographicArray.
main	Title for plot.
cex.main, col.main, font.main	The 'character expansion factor', colour, and font to be used for main.
las	Parameter governing orientation of axis labels. One of 0, 1, 2, or 3. See par.
mar	Size of plotting margins. See par.
mfrow	Layout of multiple plots. See par.
...	Other arguments, which are passed to the underlying plotting functions.
threshold	An integer. If the number of values being plotted per category is less than or equal to threshold then a boxplot is used; otherwise a stripchart is used.
