x |
an object of class ‘dsvord’ |

levels |
specific levels for contours in thull |
... |
arguments to pass to the plot function |
Function ‘plot’ produces a scatter plot of sample scores for the specified axes, erasing or over-plotting on the current graphic device. Axes dimensions are controlled to produce a graph with the correct aspect ratio. Functions ‘points’, ‘plotid’, and ‘surf’ add detail to an existing plot. The axes specified must match the underlying plot exactly.
Function ‘plotid’ identifies and labels samples (optionally with values from a third vector) in the ordination, and requires interaction with the mouse: left button identifies, right button exits.
Function ‘points’ is passed a logical vector to identify a set of samples by color of glyph. It can be used to identify a single set meeting almost any criterion that can be stated as a logical expression.
Function ‘hilight’ is passed a factor vector or integer vector, and identifies factor values by color and glyph.
Function ‘chullord’ is passed a factor vector or integer vector, and plots a convex hull around all points in each factor class. By specifying values for arguments ‘cols’ and ‘ltys’ it is possible to control the sequence of colors and linetypes of the convex hulls.
Function ‘ellip’ is passed a factor vector or integer vector, and plots minimal volume ellipses containingg all points within a class. By specifying values for arguments ‘cols’ and ‘ltys’ it is possible to control the sequence of colors and linetypes of the ellipses.
Function ‘density’ calculates the fraction of points within the convex hull that belong to the specified type.
Function ‘surf’ calculates and plots fitted surfaces for logical or
quantitative variables. The function employs the gam
function to fit a variable to the ordination coordinates, and to predict the
values at all grid points. The grid is established with the
‘expand.grid’ function, and the grid is then specified in a call to
‘predict.gam’. The predicted values are trimmed to the the convex hull
of the data, and the contours are fit by ‘contour’. The default link
function for fitting the GAMs is ‘gaussian’, suitable for unbounded
continuous variables. For logical variables you should specify ‘family
= binomial’ to get a logistic GAM, and for integer counts you should specify
‘family = poisson’ to get a Poisson GAM or ‘family='nb'’ to get a negative binomial fit.
Function ‘thull’ calculates a tensioned hull for a specific variable on the ordination. A tensioned hull is a minimum volume container. The grain size must be specified as a fraction of the units of the NMDS, with larger values generating smoother representations, and smaller numbers a more resolved container. ‘thull’ returns an invisible object of class ‘thull’ which has an associated plot function. Plotting the thull object produces a colored surface representation of the thull with optional contour lines.
Function ‘plotid’ returns a vector of row numbers of identified plots
The contouring routine using
predict.gam
follows ordisurf
