R Documentation

Draw Line Segments

Description

These functions create and draw line segments.

Usage

grid.segments(x0 = unit(0, "npc"), y0 = unit(0, "npc"),
              x1 = unit(1, "npc"), y1 = unit(1, "npc"),
              default.units = "npc",
              arrow = NULL,
              name = NULL, gp = gpar(), draw = TRUE, vp = NULL)
segmentsGrob(x0 = unit(0, "npc"), y0 = unit(0, "npc"),
              x1 = unit(1, "npc"), y1 = unit(1, "npc"),
              default.units = "npc",
              arrow = NULL, name = NULL, gp = gpar(), vp = NULL)

Arguments

`x0`	Numeric indicating the starting x-values of the line segments.
`y0`	Numeric indicating the starting y-values of the line segments.
`x1`	Numeric indicating the stopping x-values of the line segments.
`y1`	Numeric indicating the stopping y-values of the line segments.
`default.units`	A string.
`arrow`	A list describing arrow heads to place at either end of the line segments, as produced by the `arrow` function.
`name`	A character identifier.
`gp`	An object of class `"gpar"`, typically the output from a call to the function `gpar`. This is basically a list of graphical parameter settings.
`draw`	A logical value indicating whether graphics output should be produced.
`vp`	A Grid viewport object (or NULL).

Details

Both functions create a segments grob (a graphical object describing segments), but only grid.segments draws the segments (and then only if draw is TRUE).
