diagram: Plot the Hasse Diagram of a set of ordered relations

Description

A function to plot the Hasse Diagram of partially ordered relations.

Usage

diagram(x, unord = TRUE, attrs = NULL, main = NULL, 
        cex.main = par()$cex.main)

Arguments

x

a matrix representing ordered relations

unord

(logical) whether or not the elements not belonging in the order should be included in the diagram

attrs

(optional) attributes of the diagram

main

(optional) title of the diagram

cex.main

(optional) size of the diagram's title

Value

• A Hasse diagram of the partial order relation.

Warning

This function requires that the Rgraphviz package is available.

Details

An example of ordered relations is found in the partial order table of relations, which is product of the `strings' option in the partial.order function. Another set of ordered relations comes from the table produced on Galois derivations in the mentioned function. In either case this function plot either the partial order or a linear order diagram, depending on the results as Hasse diagrams.

Examples

## load the data
data("incubA")

## given e.g. a partial order table in the object 'po'
po <- partial.order(as.strings(incubA), type="strings")


## plot the order relation as a Hasse diagram.
if(require(Rgraphviz)) {
plot(diagram(po))
}
