plot {base} | R Documentation |
Generic function for plotting of R objects. For more details about
the graphical parameter arguments, see par
.
plot(x, ...) plot(x, y, xlim=range(x), ylim=range(y), type="p", main, xlab, ylab, ...) plot(y ~ x, ...)
x |
the coordinates of points in the plot. Alternatively, a
single plotting structure or any R object with a
plot method can be provided. |
y |
the y coordinates of points in the plot, optional
if x is an appropriate structure. |
xlim, ylim |
the ranges to be encompassed by the x and y axes. |
type |
what type of plot should be drawn. Possible types are
|
main |
an overall title for the plot. |
xlab |
a title for the x axis. |
ylab |
a title for the y axis. |
... |
graphical parameters can be given as arguments to
plot . |
For simple scatter plots, plot.default
will be used.
However, there are plot
methods for many R objects,
including function
s, data.frame
s,
density
objects, etc. Use methods(plot)
and
the documentation for these.
