lines.circular: Add Connected Line Segments to a Circular Plot

In circular: Circular Statistics

Description

A method taking coordinates in a polar system and joining the corresponding points with line segments.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'circular'
lines(x, y, join = FALSE, nosort = FALSE, offset=1, shrink=1,
  plot.info = NULL, zero = NULL, rotation = NULL, modulo = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	a vector of class circular.
y	a vector with the same length as 'x'.
join	logical: if TRUE the first and the last values are joined by a line.
nosort	logical: if TRUE the data are not sorted before join them.
offset	the radius of the circle
shrink	parameter that controls the size of the plotted function. Default is 1.
plot.info	an object from another circular graphic function.
zero	the zero of the axis.
rotation	the rotation of the axis.
modulo	the modulo applied to 'x' before sorting.
...	graphical parameters passed to lines.default.

Value

A list with information on the plot: zero, rotation and next.points.
