data |

xlim |
range of X-coordinates. |

range of Y-coordinates. |

desired projection when PolySet lacks a

plt |
four element numeric vector |
polyProps |
PolyData specifying which points to plot and their
properties. |
cex |
vector describing character expansion factors (cycled by

vector describing colours (cycled by |
pch |
vector describing plotting characters (cycled by |

Boolean value; if |
tckLab |
Boolean vector (length 1 or 2); if |
tck |
numeric vector (length 1 or 2) describing the length
of tick marks as a fraction of the smallest dimension. If
|
tckMinor |
numeric vector (length 1 or 2) describing the length of tick marks as a fraction of the smallest dimension. These tick marks can not be automatically labelled. If given a two-element vector, the first element describes the tick marks on the x-axis and the second element describes those on the y-axis. |

This function clips data
to xlim
and ylim
before
plotting. It only adds PolyData containing X
and
Y
columns.
The function creates a blank plot when polys
equals
NULL
. In this case, the user must supply both xlim
and
ylim
arguments. Alternatively, it accepts the argument
type = "n"
as part of ..., which is equivalent to specifying
polys = NULL
, but requires a PolySet. In both cases,
the function's behaviour changes slightly. To resemble the
plot
function, it plots the border, labels, and other
parts according to par
parameters such as col
.
For additional help on the arguments cex
, col
, and
pch
, please see par
.
PolyData consisting of the PolyProp
s used to create the plot.
To satisfy the aspect ratio, this plotting routine resizes the plot
region. Consequently, par
parameters such as
plt
, mai
, and mar
will change. When the function
terminates, these changes persist to allow for additions to the plot.
