dplot {emu}R Documentation

A function to plot one or more columns of EMU-trackdata as a function of time

Description

A general purpose routine for plotting EMU-trackdata on a single plot. Tracks can be aligned at an arbitrary position, length normalised or averaged. The plots can be colour-coded for different category types.

Usage

dplot(x, labs = NULL, offset = 0, prop = TRUE, average = FALSE, 
    xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, lty = FALSE, normalise = FALSE, 
    colour = TRUE, lwd = NULL, pch = NULL, legend = "topright", 
    axes = TRUE, type = "l", n = 20, ...)

Arguments

x An EMU-trackdata object
labs A label vector with one element for each row in 'dataset'
offset Either: A single numeric vector between 0 and 1. 0 and 1 denote synchronize the trackdata at their temporal onsets and offsets respectively; 0.5 denotes synchronization at the temporal midpoint, etc. Or a numeric vector of the same length as x specifying the synchronisation point per segment
prop A single element character vector specifying whether the tracks should be aligned proportionally or relative to millisecond times. Defaults to proportional alignment
average If TRUE, the data for each unique label in 'labs' is averaged
xlim A vector of two numeric values specifying the x-axis range
ylim A vector of two numeric values specifying the y-axis range
lty A single element logical vector. Defaults to F. If TRUE, plot each label type in a different linetype
normalise If TRUE, the data for each segment is linearly time normalised so that all observations have the same length. The number of points used in the linear time normalisation is control by the argument n.
colour A single element logical vector. Defaults to T to plot each label type in a different colour
lwd A code passed to the lwd argument in plotting functions. 'lwd' can be either a single element numeric vector, or its length must be equal to the number of unique types in labs. For example, if lwd=3 and if labs = c("a", "b", "a", "c"), then the output is c(3, 3, 3, 3). Alternatively, if lwd = c(2,3,1), then the output is c(2, 3, 2, 1) for the same example. The default is NULL in which case all lines are drawn with lwd=1
pch A code passed to the pch argument in plotting functions. Functions in the same way as lwd above
legend Either a character vector to plot the legend. Possible values are: "bottomright"', '"bottom"', '"bottomleft"', '"left"', '"topleft"', '"top"', '"topright"', '"right"' and '"center"'. This places the legend on the inside of the plot frame at the given location. Partial argument matching is used. Or a logical vector: legend = FALSE suppresses legend plotting. legend = TRUE plots it at the default, legend = "topright"
axes A single element logical vector. Defaults to T to plot the axes
type The default line type. Default to "l" for a line plot
n A single element numeric vector. Only used if normalise=T. The number of data points used to linearly time normalise each track

Examples


   # Plot of column 1 (which happens to be the 1st formant) of an EMU-trackdata object
   dplot(dip.fdat[,1])
        

   # As above but only observations 1 to 5
   dplot(dip.fdat[1:5,1])
        

   #  column 2 (which happens to be of the second formant) and colour-coded
   # for each label-type
   dplot(dip.fdat[,2], dip.l)
        

   # put the legend bottom left
   dplot(dip.fdat[,2], dip.l, legend="bottomleft")
        

   # as above with no legend and averaged per category
   dplot(dip.fdat[,2], dip.l, legend=FALSE, average=TRUE)
        

   # both formants averaged
   dplot(dip.fdat[,1:2], dip.l, average=TRUE)
        

   # F2 only with linear-time normalisation
   dplot(dip.fdat[,2], dip.l, norm=TRUE)
        

   # linear time-normalisation, both formants and averaged
   dplot(dip.fdat[,1:2], dip.l, norm=TRUE, average=TRUE)
        

   # synchronise at the temporal midpoint before averaging, F2 only
   dplot(dip.fdat[,2], dip.l, offset=0.5, average=TRUE)
        

   # synchronise 60 ms before the diphthong offset
   dplot(dip.fdat[,2], dip.l, offset=dip.fdat$ftime[,2]-60, prop=FALSE)
        

   # as above averaged, no colour with linetype, 
# different plot symbols double line thickness in the range between +- 20 ms
   dplot(dip.fdat[,2], dip.l, offset=dip.fdat$ftime[,2]-60, prop=FALSE,
   average=TRUE, colour=FALSE, lty=TRUE, pch=1:3, lwd =2, type="b", xlim=c(-20, 20))
