Description

Plots a shematic representation of and object of class 'mefa', or alternatively plots a colored logo of the mefa package.

Usage

mefalogo(type = c("cont", "fill"), labels = c("str", "r"),
adj=c(0,0), scale=c(1,1), new = TRUE, cex = 1, ann=FALSE, axes=FALSE,
xlim=c(0,10)*scale[1]+adj[1], ylim=c(0,10)*scale[2]+adj[2], ...)

Arguments

type character, "cont" is for drawing only black contours, "fill" is for filled polygons.
labels character, "str" for labelling according to the general structure of a 'mefa' object, "r" places a big R letter in the middle (for logo).
adj numeric values to adjust the dimensions of the polygons.
scale a numeric value to rescale the dimensions of the polygons.
new logical, if a new plot (TRUE) should be drawn, or just adding the polygons and labels to an existing one (FALSE).
cex numeric, argument for scaling the labels.
ann logical, annotations of the plot (see par).
axes logical, drawing axes or not (see par).
xlim, ylim extreme values for the x and y axes.
... other arguments passed to the function plot, see par. Only effective if new = TRUE.
