spam (version 2.1-1)

display: Graphially Represent the Nonzero Entries

Description

The function represents the nonzero entries in a simple bicolor plot.

Usage

display(x, ...)

Arguments

x

matrix of class spam or spam.chol.NgPeyton.

...

any other arguments passed to image.default/plot.

Details

spam.getOption("imagesize") determines if the sparse matrix is coerced into a matrix and the plotted with image.default or if the matrix is simply represented as a scatterplot with pch=".". The points are scaled according to cex*spam.getOption("cex")/(nrow + ncol). For some devices or for non-square matrices, cex needs probably some adjustment.

# NOT RUN {
set.seed(13)

nz <- 8
ln <- nz
smat <- spam(0, ln, ln)

par(mfcol=c(1, 1), pty='s')
