Sets the plot environment to draw a long dataset. It provides lines as supplementary scale, and axes with major and minor ticks.
blackSet(xlim, ylim, xtick = NA, ytick = NA, nx = 1, ny = 1,
xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i", xarg = list(tick.ratio = 0.5),
yarg = list(tick.ratio = 0.5, las = 1), v = T, abbr = "", skip = 0,
targ = list(col = "black", lwd = 2), sarg = list(lty = 2, col = "black"))the x and y limits (e.g. xlim = c(-1,1))
the interval between each major ticks for x and y
the number of intervals between major ticks to be divided by minor ticks in the x and y axes
The style of axis interval calculation to be used for the x and y axes. By default it is "i" (internal): it just finds an axis with pretty labels that fits within the original data range. You can also set it to "r" (regular): it first extends the data range by 4 percent at each end and then finds an axis with pretty labels that fits within the extended range. See ?par for further explanation
a list of arguments to feed to minorAxis() for the x and y axes. See the ?minorAxis help page for the possible arguments. See ?merge_list for further information.
whether the lines are vertical
text to be repeated on the lines at each major tick
number of text redundancies to be skipped
a list of arguments to feed to text() and segments() respectively. If set to NULL, does not add the corresponding element.
