whiteSet {StratigrapheR}

Sets the plot environment to draw a long data set

Description

Sets the plot environment to draw a long dataset. It is without background, and with only axes with major and minor ticks.

Usage

whiteSet(
  xlim,
  ylim,
  xtick = NA,
  ytick = NA,
  nx = 1,
  ny = 1,
  xaxs = "i",
  yaxs = "i",
  xarg = list(tick.ratio = 0.5),
  yarg = list(tick.ratio = 0.5, las = 1),
  add = FALSE
)

Arguments

xlim, ylim

the x and y limits (e.g. xlim = c(-1,1))

xtick, ytick

the interval between each major ticks for x and y

nx, ny

the number of intervals between major ticks to be divided by minor ticks in the x and y axes

xaxs, yaxs

The style of axis interval calculation to be used for the x and y axes. By default it is "i" (internal): it just finds an axis with pretty labels that fits within the original data range. You can also set it to "r" (regular): it first extends the data range by 4 percent at each end and then finds an axis with pretty labels that fits within the extended range. See ?par for further explanation

xarg, yarg

a list of arguments to feed to minorAxis() for the x and y axes. See the ?minorAxis help page for the possible arguments. See ?merge_list for further information.

add

whether to add to an existing plot

Examples

y <- c(0,11,19,33)
x <- c(1,2,2.5,4)

a <- min(y)
b <- max(y)

f <- encase(a-1,b,5)

whiteSet(c(0,4), f, ytick = 5, ny = 5, xaxs = "r")
