Add Loops to a Plot
gplot.loop draws a "loop" at a specified location; this is used to designate self-ties in gplot.
gplot.loop(x0, y0, length = 0.1, angle = 10, width = 0.01, col = 1,
border = 1, lty = 1, offset = 0, edge.steps = 10, radius = 1,
arrowhead = TRUE, xctr=0, yctr=0, ...)x0 |
a vector of x coordinates for points of origin. |
y0 |
a vector of y coordinates for points of origin. |
length |
arrowhead length, in current plotting units. |
angle |
arrowhead angle (in degrees). |
width |
width for loop body, in current plotting units (can be a vector). |
col |
loop body color (can be a vector). |
border |
loop border color (can be a vector). |
lty |
loop border line type (can be a vector). |
offset |
offset for origin point (can be a vector). |
edge.steps |
number of steps to use in approximating curves. |
radius |
loop radius (can be a vector). |
arrowhead |
boolean; should arrowheads be used? (Can be a vector.) |
xctr |
x coordinate for the central location away from which loops should be oriented. |
yctr |
y coordinate for the central location away from which loops should be oriented. |

gplot.loop is the companion to gplot.arrow; like the latter, plot elements produced by gplot.loop are drawn using polygon, and as such are scaled based on the current plotting device. By default, loops are drawn so as to encompass a circular region of radius radius, whose center is offset units from x0,y0 and at maximum distance from xctr,yctr. This is useful for functions like gplot, which need to draw loops incident to vertices of varying radii.
