Plot Method for Kernel Density Estimation for Circular Data

Description

The plot method for density.circular objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'density.circular':
plot(x, main = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = "Density circular", type = "l", zero.line = TRUE, points.plot = FALSE, points.col = 1, points.pch = 1, plot.type = c("circle", "line"), axes = TRUE, ticks = TRUE, bins, shrink = 1, tcl = 0.025, tol = 0.04, uin, xlim = c(-1, 1), ylim = c(-1, 1), ...)

Arguments

x an object of class density.circular.
main, xlab, ylab, type plotting parameters with useful defaults.
zero.line logical; if TRUE, add a base line at y = 0. Used when plot.type is "line".
points.plot logical; if TRUE original data are added to the plot.
points.col, points.pch parameters used to draw the points.
plot.type type of the plot.
axes logical; if TRUE axis are drawn.
ticks logical; if TRUE ticks are drawn.
bins number of ticks to plot.
shrink parameter that controls the size of the plotted circle. Default is 1. Larger values shrink the circle, while smaller values enlarge the circle.
tcl length of the ticks.
tol proportion of white space at the margins of plot
uin desired values for the units per inch parameter. If of length 1, the desired units per inch on the x axis.
xlim, ylim the ranges to be encompassed by the x and y axes. Useful for centering the plot.
... futher parameters passed to plot.default.

Value

None.
