W-NOMINATE Cutting Line Angles Plot

Description

plot.angles reads a W-NOMINATE object and plots a histogram of the angles of the cutlines for two dimensions. plot.angles does not work for one-dimensional W-NOMINATE objects.

Usage

plot.angles(x, main.title="Cutting Line Angles",
        x.title="Angle in Degrees", y.title="Count",
        dims=c(1,2),...)

Arguments

x a wnominate output object.
main.title string, coordinate plot title.
x.title string, x-axis label.
y.title string, y-axis label.
dims vector of length 2, specifying the dimensions to be plotted.
... other arguments to hist.

Value

A cutting line angle plot.
