treearrow {diagram}R Documentation

adds a dendrogram-like branched arrow between several points

Description

connects two sets of points with a dendrogram-like structure,

adds an arrowhead at a certain distance.

Usage

treearrow(from, to, lwd=2, lty=1, lcol="black",
  arr.side=2, arr.pos=0.5, line.pos=0.5, path="H", ...)

Arguments

from matrix of coordinates (x,y) of points *from* which to draw arrow.
to matrix of coordinates (x,y) of points *to* which to draw arrow.
lwd line width.
lty line type.
lcol line color.
arr.side segment number on which arrowhead is drawn (1,2).
arr.pos relative position of arrowhead on segment on which arrowhead is drawn.
line.pos relative position of (horizontal/vertical) line.
path Vertical, Horizontal.
... other arguments passed to function straightarrow.

Details

a tree-shaped arrow is drawn between points '(from, to)', where both from and to can be several points.

How the segments are drawn is set with path which can take on the values:

The segment(s) on which the arrow head is drawn is set with arr.side, which is one or more values in (1, 2)

The position of the arrowhead on the segment on which it is drawn, is set with arr.pos, a value between 0(start of segment) and 1(end of segment)

The type of the arrowhead is set with arr.type which can take the values:

see Arrowhead from package shape for details on arrow head.

Value

coordinates (x,y) where arrowhead is drawn
