phonR (version 0.3-1)

plotVowels: Plot F1 and F2 values from separate vectors or from a data frame

Description

Generates high-quality plots of provided formant values using either the default onscreen device (X11, Quartz, or Win32) or direct-to-file using R base graphics functions (PDF, SVG, JPG, PNG, TIFF, or BMP). Can also normalize values on-the-fly before plotting, through a call to normalizeVowels.

Usage

plotVowels(data=NULL, vowel=NULL, f1=NULL, f2=NULL, f3=NULL, f0=NULL, 
	grouping.factor=NULL, norm.method='none', match.unit=TRUE, 
	match.axes='absolute', points='text', means='text', points.alpha=0.5, 
	means.alpha=1, points.cex=0.6, means.cex=1.2, ignore.hidden=TRUE, 
	ellipses=TRUE, ellipse.alpha=0.3173, polygon=TRUE, poly.order=NULL, 
	poly.include=NULL, single.plot=TRUE, titles='auto', axis.titles='auto', 
	axis.cex=0.8, garnish.col='#666666FF', grayscale=FALSE, 
	vary.colors=!grayscale, vary.shapes=grayscale, vary.lines=grayscale, 
	legend=single.plot, output='screen', family='', pointsize=12, 
	units='in', width=6.5, height=6.5, res=72, asp=NULL)
