| plot {base} | R Documentation |
Generic function for plotting of R objects. For more details about
the graphical parameter arguments, see par.
plot(x, ...)
plot(x, y, xlim=range(x), ylim=range(y), type="p",
main, xlab, ylab, ...)
plot(y ~ x, ...)
x |
the coordinates of points in the plot. Alternatively, a
single plotting structure or any R object with a
plot method can be provided. |
y |
the y coordinates of points in the plot, optional
if x is an appropriate structure. |
xlim, ylim |
the ranges to be encompassed by the x and y axes. |
type |
what type of plot should be drawn. Possible types are
|
main |
an overall title for the plot. |
xlab |
a title for the x axis. |
ylab |
a title for the y axis. |
... |
graphical parameters can be given as arguments to
plot. |
For simple scatter plots, plot.default will be used.
However, there are plot methods for many R objects,
including functions, data.frames,
density objects, etc. Use methods(plot) and
the documentation for these.
plot.default, plot.formula and other
methods; points, lines, par.
data(cars)
plot(cars)
lines(lowess(cars))
plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)
## Discrete Distribution Plot:
plot(table(rpois(100,5)), type = "h", col = "red", lwd=10,
main="rpois(100,lambda=5)")
