| arrows {graphics} | R Documentation |
Draw arrows between pairs of points.
arrows(x0, y0, x1, y1, length = 0.25, angle = 30, code = 2,
col = par("fg"), lty = NULL, lwd = par("lwd"), xpd = NULL)
x0, y0 |
coordinates of points from which to draw. |
x1, y1 |
coordinates of points to which to draw. |
length |
length of the edges of the arrow head (in inches). |
angle |
angle from the shaft of the arrow to the edge of the arrow head. |
code |
integer code, determining kind of arrows to be drawn. |
col, lty, lwd, xpd |
graphical parameters as in par. |
For each i, an arrow is drawn between the point (x0[i],
y0[i]) and the point (x1[i],y1[i]).
If code=1 an arrowhead is drawn at (x0[i],y0[i]) and if
code=2 an arrowhead is drawn at (x1[i],y1[i]). If
code=3 a head is drawn at both ends of the arrow. Unless
length = 0, when no head is drawn.
The graphical parameters col, lty and lwd can be
vectors of length greater than one and will be recycled if necessary.
NA values of col are replaced by par("col").
The direction of a zero-length arrow is indeterminate, and hence so is the direction of the arrowheads. To allow for rounding error, arrowheads are omitted (with a warning) on any arrow of length less than 1/1000 inch.
The first four arguments in the comparable S function are named
x1,y1,x2,y2.
