Plot a Yardstick or Scale Bar

Plots an object of class "yardstick".

Keywords
hplot, spatial
Usage
## S3 method for class 'yardstick':
plot(x, \dots,
angle = 20, frac = 1/8,
split = FALSE, shrink = 1/4,
pos = NULL,
txt.args=list(),
txt.shift=c(0,0),
do.plot = TRUE)
Arguments
x
Object of class "yardstick" to be plotted. This object is created by the command yardstick.
...
Additional graphics arguments passed to segments to control the appearance of the line.
angle
Angle between the arrows and the line segment, in degrees.
frac
Length of arrow as a fraction of total length of the line segment.
split
Logical. If TRUE, then the line will be broken in the middle, and the text will be placed in this gap. If FALSE, the line will be unbroken, and the text will be placed beside the line.
shrink
Fraction of total length to be removed from the middle of the line segment, if split=TRUE.
pos
Integer (passed to text) determining the position of the annotation text relative to the line segment, if split=FALSE. Values of 1, 2, 3 and 4 indicate positions below, to the
txt.args
Optional list of additional arguments passed to text controlling the appearance of the text. Examples include adj, srt, col, cex, f
txt.shift
Optional numeric vector of length 2 specifying displacement of the text position relative to the centre of the yardstick.
do.plot
Logical. Whether to actually perform the plot (do.plot=TRUE).
Details

A yardstick or scale bar is a line segment, drawn on any spatial graphics display, indicating the scale of the plot.

The argument x should be an object of class "yardstick" created by the command yardstick.

Value

• A window (class "owin") enclosing the plotted graphics.

Examples
plot(owin(), main="Yardsticks")
ys <- yardstick(as.psp(list(xmid=0.5, ymid=0.1, length=0.4, angle=0),
window=owin(c(0.2, 0.8), c(0, 0.2))),
txt="1 km")
plot(ys)
ys <- shift(ys, c(0, 0.3))
plot(ys, angle=90, frac=0.08)
ys <- shift(ys, c(0, 0.3))
plot(ys, split=TRUE)
