x |
a vector, matrix or data.frame. The object is coerced to class circular. |
pch |
point character to use. See help on par. |
cex |
point character size. See help on par. |
axes |
logical: if TRUE axes are plotted according to properties of x. |
shrink |
parameter that controls the size of the plotted circle. Default is 1. Larger values shrink the circle, while smaller values enlarge the circle. |
bins |
number of arcs to partition the circle with. |
ticks |
logical: if TRUE ticks are plotted according to the
value of bins. |
tcl |
length of the ticks. |
tcl.text |
The position of the axis labels. |
col |
color of the points. The values are recycled if needed. |
tol |
proportion of white space at the margins of plot. |
uin |
desired values for the units per inch parameter. If of length 1, the desired units per inch on the x axis. |
xlim, ylim |
the ranges to be encompassed by the x and y axes. Useful for centering the plot. |
prop |
numerical constant determining the radii of the sectors. By default, prop = 1. |
digits |
number of digits used to print axis values. |
plot.info |
an object from plot.circular that
contains information on the zero, the rotation and next.points. |
units |
the units used in the plot. If NULL the units of the first component of 'x' is used. |
template |
the template of the plot. Ignored if plot.info is provided. |
zero |
the zero of the plot. Ignored if plot.info or template are provided. |
rotation |
the rotation of the plot. Ignored if plot.info or template are provided. |
main, xlab, ylab |
title, x label and y label of the plot. |
add |
add the rose diag to an existing plot. |
... |
futher parameters passed to lines.default. |
The circumference of the circle is split into groups, the number of groups specified by bins. For each group, a sector is drawn. The radii of the sectors are by default equal to the square root of the relative frequencies of observations in each group. This ensures that the area of the sector is proportional to the group frequency. The length of the radii can be controlled by varying the parameter prop.
a list with information on the plot: zero, rotation and next.points.
some codes from eqscplot in MASS is used.
