| segments {graphics} | R Documentation |
Draw line segments between pairs of points.
segments(x0, y0, x1, y1,
col = par("fg"), lty = par("lty"), lwd = par("lwd"), ...)
x0,y0 |
coordinates of points from which to draw. |
x1,y1 |
coordinates of points to which to draw. |
col, lty, lwd |
usual graphical parameters as in
par. |
... |
further graphical parameters (from par). |
For each i, a line segment is drawn between the point
(x0[i], y0[i]) and the point (x1[i],y1[i]).
The graphical parameters col and lty can be used to
specify a color and line texture for the line segments (col
may be a vector).
