allen_illustrate: Illustrate basic and composite relations

Description

Illustrate basic and composite Allen relations for several chronological model domains with a Nokel lattice. Chronological model domains include stratigraphy and branching, transformative, and reticulate processes of artifact change.

Usage

allen_illustrate(relations = "basic", ...)

Arguments

relations

One of:

basic

the 13 basic Allen relations (default);

concurrent

concurrent relations;

distinct

relations with distinct endpoints;

stratigraphic

basic relations established by an observation of superposition;

branching

basic branching relations;

transformation

basic relations of transformation;

reticulation

basic relations of reticulation;

sequence

composite relations in a stratigraphic sequence;

branch

composite relations of branching;

transform

composite relations of transformation; or

reticulate

composite relations of reticulation.

...

Named arguments to be passed on to allen_plot().

Value

A layout_tbl_graph object.
