plot.mds {MDSS}

Plot for modeled tooth dentin serial sections

Description

plot.mds is a plotting utile for quick visualization of the modeled the tooth dentin microstructures under an object of class "mds". The modeled dentin growth layers and outer shape are plotted on a geometric plane.

Usage

  ## S3 method for class 'mds'
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class "mds" generated by mds

...

Additional arguments passed to plot.

Details

The modeled tooth dentin is plotted on a geometric plane. Dentin horn and root tip equal the geometric origin and the coordinate (0, 1), respectively. Growth lines are shown with oblique colored lines inside the longitudinal half of tooth dentin outer shape. Horizontal sections are shown with horizontal solid black lines.
