| arrows {graphics} | R Documentation |
Draw arrows between pairs of points.
arrows(x0, y0, x1, y1, length = 0.25, angle = 30, code = 2,
col = par("fg"), lty = par("lty"), lwd = par("lwd"),
...)
x0, y0 |
coordinates of points from which to draw. |
x1, y1 |
coordinates of points to which to draw. |
length |
length of the edges of the arrow head (in inches). |
angle |
angle from the shaft of the arrow to the edge of the arrow head. |
code |
integer code, determining kind of arrows to be drawn. |
col, lty, lwd |
graphical parameters, possible vectors.
NA values in col cause the arrow to be omitted. |
... |
graphical parameters such as xpd and the line
characteristics lend, ljoin and lmitre:
see par. |
For each i, an arrow is drawn between the point (x0[i],
y0[i]) and the point (x1[i],y1[i]).
If code=1 an arrowhead is drawn at (x0[i],y0[i]) and if
code=2 an arrowhead is drawn at (x1[i],y1[i]). If
code=3 a head is drawn at both ends of the arrow. Unless
length = 0, when no head is drawn.
The graphical parameters col, lty and lwd can be
vectors of length greater than one and will be recycled if necessary.
The direction of a zero-length arrow is indeterminate, and hence so is the direction of the arrowheads. To allow for rounding error, arrowheads are omitted (with a warning) on any arrow of length less than 1/1000 inch.
The first four arguments in the comparable S function are named
x1,y1,x2,y2.
