p.scales: Conversion between plotting scales: usr, cm, symbol

Description

Give scale conversion factors of three coordinate systems in use for traditional R graphics: use, cm, symbol.

Usage

p.scales(unit = relsysize * 2.54 * min(pin), relsysize = 0.05)

Value

A numeric 2x2 matrix, with rows named x and y, and columns, named "sy2usr" and "usr2cm" which give the scale conversion factors from ‘symbol’ (as given) to

‘usr’ coordinates and from these to ‘cm’, respectively.

Arguments

unit

length of unit (or x and y units) of symbol coordinates in cm.

relsysize
