lplot: Plot objects in a list

In plutils: Tools for plotting with style

Description

Plot all objects given in a list, with parameters that can be given as a named list.

Usage

lplot(objects = NULL, ..., allinone = TRUE, .plotmethod = "plot")

Arguments

objects	named list of R-objects.
...	parameters and parameterlists passed to plot method of the objects.
allinone	logical, if TRUE, all objects are plotted in one window.
.plotmethod	a generic function for plotting, or a character string naming a generic function. Defaults to "plot" and should usually not be changed.

Details

Plot parameters may be given as lists with the same name as the objects list. Parameters in named lists are assigned to the object with same name in list objects. Plot parameters not given in a list apply to all objects. Plot parameters may also be grouped as simplists, since lplot internally calles splot.

Any add-parameters only affect the first plotted object. Whether or not the plots of the remaining objects are added to the first plot, is controlled by parameter allinone.

Examples

# a list of plottable objects: functions
curves <- list(b = cos, a = sin)
lplot(curves, col = list(a = "green", b = "red"), ylim = c(-1, 1), to = pi)
# start a new plot for every object
lplot(curves, allinone = FALSE, col = list(a = "green", b = "red"),
     ylim = c(-1, 1), to = pi)

# using plot styles
curves <- list(b = cos, a = sin)
mystyles <- list(a = simplist(col = "red", lwd = 2), b = simplist(col = "green"))
lplot(curves, mystyles, ylim = c(-1, 1), to = 2*pi)
