Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also Examples

These panel functions for levelplot can represent irregular (x, y) points with a color covariate. panel.levelplot.points simply draws color-coded points. panel.voronoi uses the deldir package to calculate the spatial extension of a set of points in 2 dimensions. This is known variously as a Voronoi mosaic, a Dirichlet tesselation, or Thiessen polygons.

panel.voronoi(x, y, z, subscripts = TRUE, at = pretty(z),
   points = TRUE, border = "transparent",
   na.rm = FALSE, win.expand = 0.07, use.tripack = FALSE,
   ...,
   col.regions = regions$col, alpha.regions = regions$alpha)

panel.levelplot.points(x, y, z, subscripts = TRUE, at = pretty(z),
   shrink, labels, label.style, contour, region,
   pch = 21, col.symbol = "#00000044",
   ...,
   col.regions = regions$col, fill = NULL)

`x, y, z`	an irregular set of points at locations (x, y) with value z.
`subscripts`	integer vector indicating what subset of x, y and z to draw. Typically passed by `levelplot`.
`at, col.regions, alpha.regions`	color scale definition; see `panel.levelplot`.
`points`	whether to draw the (x, y) points.
`border`	color for polygon borders.
`na.rm`	if `TRUE`, points with missing `z` values will be excluded from the calculation of polygons. If `FALSE`, those polygons are calculated but are not drawn (i.e. are transparent).
`win.expand`	defines the rectangular window bounding the polygons. This is a factor by which to expand the range of the data. Set to 0 to limit drawing at the furthest data point locations. Ignored if `use.tripack = TRUE`.
`use.tripack`	if `TRUE`, use tripack package rather than deldir. See Details.
`...`	further arguments are passed to `panel.xyplot` if `points = TRUE`.
`pch, col.symbol`	symbol and border color for points. A filled symbol should be used, i.e. in the range 21-25.
`shrink, labels, label.style, contour, region, fill`	ignored.

The tripack package implementation is faster than deldir but not under a fully free licence. Also, the deldir package allows polygons to be clipped to a rectangular window (the win.expand argument).

depth.ord <- rev(order(quakes$depth))

## a levelplot with jittered cells

xyz <- expand.grid(x = 0:9, y = 0:9)
xyz[] <- jitter(as.matrix(xyz))
xyz$z <- with(xyz, sqrt((x - 5)^2 + (y - 5)^2))
levelplot(z ~ x * y, xyz, panel = panel.voronoi, points = FALSE)

## hexagonal cells

xyz$y <- xyz$y + c(0, 0.5)
levelplot(z ~ x * y, xyz, panel = panel.voronoi, points = FALSE)

     PLEASE NOTE:  The components "delsgs" and "summary" of the
 object returned by deldir() are now DATA FRAMES rather than
 matrices (as they were prior to release 0.0-18).
 See help("deldir").
 
     PLEASE NOTE: The process that deldir() uses for determining
 duplicated points has changed from that used in version
 0.0-9 of this package (and previously). See help("deldir").
