Schematic Plot of an Object of Class 'mefa'

Plots a shematic representation of and object of class 'mefa', or alternatively plots a colored logo of the mefa package.

Usage

mefalogo(type = c("cont", "fill"), labels = c("str", "r"),
adj=c(0,0), scale=c(1,1), new = TRUE, cex = 1, ann=FALSE, axes=FALSE,
xlim=c(0,10)*scale[1]+adj[1], ylim=c(0,10)*scale[2]+adj[2], ...)

Arguments

type

character, "cont" is for drawing only black contours, "fill" is for filled polygons.

labels

character, "str" for labelling according to the general structure of a 'mefa' object, "r" places a big R letter in the middle (for logo).

adj

numeric values to adjust the dimensions of the polygons.

scale

a numeric value to rescale the dimensions of the polygons.

new

logical, if a new plot (TRUE) should be drawn, or just adding the polygons and labels to an existing one (FALSE).

cex

numeric, argument for scaling the labels.

ann

logical, annotations of the plot (see par).

axes

logical, drawing axes or not (see par).

xlim, ylim

extreme values for the x and y axes.

...

other arguments passed to the function plot, see par. Only effective if new = TRUE.

Details

This function was developed for depicting the general structure of the 'mefa' objects. The colored logo version can be used in presentations as well.
