invoke.symbolmap: Plot Data Using Graphics Symbol Map

Description

Apply a graphics symbol map to a vector of data values and plot the resulting symbols.

Usage

invoke.symbolmap(map, values, x, y = NULL, ..., add = FALSE,
               do.plot = TRUE, started = add && do.plot)

Arguments

map
Graphics symbol map (object of class "symbolmap").
values
Vector of data that can be mapped by the symbol map.
x,y
Coordinate vectors for the spatial locations of the symbols to be plotted.
...
Additional graphics parameters.
add
Logical value indicating whether to add the symbols to an existing plot (add=TRUE) or to initialise a new plot (add=FALSE, the default).
do.plot
Logical value indicating whether to actually perform the plotting.
started
Logical value indicating whether the plot has already been initialised.

Value

  • (Invisibly) the maximum diameter of the symbols, in user coordinate units.

Details

A symbol map is an association between data values and graphical symbols.

This command applies the symbol map map to the data values and plots the resulting symbols at the locations given by xy.coords(x,y).

See Also

plot.symbolmap to plot the graphics map itself. symbolmap to create a graphics map.

Examples

Run this code
g <- symbolmap(range=c(-1,1),
                   shape=function(x) ifelse(x > 0, "circles", "squares"),
                   size=function(x) sqrt(ifelse(x > 0, x/pi, -x))/15,
                   bg=function(x) ifelse(x > 0, "green", "red"))
  plot(square(1), main="")
  a <- invoke.symbolmap(g, runif(10, -1, 1), runifpoint(10), add=TRUE)
