spam (version 0.13-3)

image: Display a spam Object as Color Image

Description

The function creates a grid of colored rectangles with colors corresponding to the values in z.

Usage

image(x, ...)

Arguments

x

matrix of class spam.

...

any other arguments passed to image.default and plot.

Details

spam.getOption('imagesize') determines if the sparse matrix is coerced into a matrix and the plotted similarly to image.default or if the matrix is simply represented as a scatterplot with pch=".". The points are scaled according to cex*spam.getOption('cex')/(nrow+ncol). For some devices or for non-square matrices, cex needs probably some adjustment. The a zero matrix in spam format has as (1,1) entry the value zero and only missing entries are interpreted as NA in the scatter plot.

Examples

set.seed(13)
nz <- 8
ln <- nz
smat <- spam(0,ln,ln)
smat[ cbind(sample(ln,nz),sample(ln,nz))] <- 1:nz

par(mfcol=c(1,2),pty='s')spam.options(imagesize=1000)
image(smat)#better: col=tim.colors(nz))
spam.options(imagesize=10)
image(smat)#better: col=tim.colors(nz))


nz <- 128
ln <- nz^2
smat <- spam(0,ln,ln)
smat[cbind(sample(ln,nz),sample(ln,nz))] <- 1:nz

par(mfcol=c(1,1),pty='s')
image(smat,cex=100)#better:, col=tim.colors(nz))
