identify.psp: Identify Segments in a Line Segment Pattern

Description

If a line segment pattern is plotted in the graphics window, this function will find the segment which is nearest to the mouse position, and print its serial number.

Usage

# S3 method for psp
identify(x, ..., labels=seq_len(nsegments(x)), n=nsegments(x),
         plot=TRUE, paint=plot, paint.args=list())

Arguments

Value

Vector containing the serial numbers of the segments in the pattern

x that were identified.

Details

This is a method for the generic function identify for line segment pattern objects.

The line segment pattern x should first be plotted using plot.psp. Then identify(x) reads the position of the graphics pointer each time the left mouse button is pressed. It then finds the segment in the pattern x that is closest to the mouse position. This segment's index will be returned as part of the value of the call.

Each time a segment is identified, text will be displayed next to the point, showing its serial number (or the relevant entry of labels).

The procedure terminates when the right mouse button is pressed.
