Details

The square transition matrix A determines the number of elements of A (rows of A) and which elements are connected (all values in A different from absent).

A also provides the values of arrowlabels.

The position of the elements are specified with pos, which is either NULL, or a vector specifying the number of elements on a row, or a 2-columned matrix specifying the (x,y) position of each element.

The ordering of elements is according to the row number of A

The offset from x-axis and from y-axis can be changed with mx and my.

The name of each element is given by vector name; this name is written in its respective box.

The relative size of this text can be changed by box.cex.

By default, a shadow is drawn, in the right-lower corner of the box.

The shadow color and relative size is specified with shadow.col and shadow.size respectively.

both can be one value (equal shadows) or a vector, specifying one value for each box shadow.

shadow.size = 0 toggles off the drawing of the shadow.

The type of the box is set with "box.type" which can take on the values:

The length of the box is set with box.size, the proportionality (length/width) ratio with box.prop.

The fill-color of the box is specified with box.col; the line width of the box with box.lwd and the line color with box.lcol;

All box properties can be either one value (equal boxes) or a vector, specifying one value for each box.

For all values A[i,j] of A which are not equal to absent, one arrow is drawn *from* column-element j *to* the row-element i of A.

The curvature of this arrow is specified with matrix element curve[i,j],

where 'curve' is either NULL, one value, or has the same dimension as A.

A straight arrow has curvature 0, NA (the default) chooses a default curvature,

Positive or negative values of curve draws curved arrows.

If the arrow is curved, then dr is the increment used to draw the ellipse; set to a lower value for smoother lines.

The type of the arrowhead is set with arr.type which can take the values:

The line color and width of the arrow line is set with arr.lcol and arr.lwd

The size of the arrow head is specified with arr.length and arr.width,

the position of the arrow head is specified with arr.pos (value between [0,1]).

see Arrowhead for details on arrow head

Value

a list containing:

arr

a data.frame with arrow information:

  • nonzero: the elements between which an arrow is drawn.

  • Angle: the angle of the arrow.

  • Value: the value written next to the arrow head.

  • rad: the radius of the arrow (if 0: straight line).

  • ArrowX: the x-position of arrowhead.

  • ArrowY: the y-position of arrowhead.

  • TextX: the x-position of arrowtext.

  • TextY: the y-position of arrowtext.

.

comp

a matrix with the element position (centre of the boxes).

radii

the radiusses in x- and y-direction of the boxes.

rect

the "xleft","ybot","xright",and "ytop" of the boxes - redundant.
