R Documentation

Plot method for seqrf objects of relative frequency groups of sequences.

Description

Plots the medoids of the RF groups of sequences and/or the boxplots of the distribution of the distances from the sequences to their group medoid.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'seqrf'
plot(x,
        space=0,
        border=NA,
        which.plot="medoids",
        ylab=NA,
        main=NULL,
        frame.plot=FALSE,
        info="all",
        skipar=FALSE,
        ...)

Arguments

`x`	a `seqrf` object
`space`	space between horizontal bars representing medoid sequences (see `barplot`)
`border`	the color to be used for the border of the bars. Use border = NA to omit borders. (see `barplot`)
`which.plot`	string. One of `"both"`, `"medoids"`, `"diss.to.med"`. When `"medoids"`, only the index plot of the medoids is displayed, when `"diss.to.med"`, the grouped boxplots of the distances to the medoids is displayed, and when `"both"` a combined plot of the two plots is displayed.
`ylab`	string. An optional label for the y-axis. If set as `NA` (default), no label is drawn.
`main`	main graphic title. Default is `NULL`.
`frame.plot`	logical. Should a frame be plotted around the grouped boxplots?
`info`	string. One of `"all"` (default), `"subtitle"`, `"stat"`, and `"none"`.
`skipar`	logical. Should `plot` skip internal `par` and `layout` commands. May be necessary to combine `"medoids"` or `"diss.to.med"` plots with `layout` or `par(mfrow=...)`
`...`	further arguments passed to `plot.stslist` including graphical parameters (`par`)

Details

The plot of the medoids is generated with the plot method for stslist objects and the boxplots with a slightly adapted version of the boxplot function for weighted data (wtd.boxplot) of the ENmisc package by Erich Neuwirth.

When which.plot="both", layout is used to produce the combined plot. Therefore, the resulting combined plot cannot be nested into other combinations using either par(mfrow=...) or layout. To combine with other plots, you must produce separately the plot of the medoids and the grouped boxplots using successively which.plot="medoids" and which.plot="diss.to.med".

When arguments xaxis and yaxis are on the ... list to be passed to plot.stslist, they are also used to control the display of the x and y axis of the boxplot.

With info="stat" or "all", the pseudo R2 and F statistics are displayed under the plot, but only when which.plot = "both".
