segments {base} | R Documentation |
Draw line segments between pairs of points.
segments(x0, y0, x1, y1, col = par("fg"), lty = par("lty"), xpd = FALSE)
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. |
col, lty, xpd |
usual graphical parameters as in par . |
For each i
, a line segment is drawn between the point (x0[i],
y0[i])
and the point (x1[i],y1[i])
.
The graphical parameters col
and lty
can be used
to specify a color and line texture for the line segments (col
may be a vector).
arrows
,
polygon
for slightly easier and less flexible line drawing and
lines
for the usual polygons.
