Usage

lexis.grid(year.start, year.end, age.start, age.end)

Arguments

Details

The function determines the aspect ratio of the x- and y-axis to enforce isosceles triangles. The aspect ratio will not be effected by defining width and height in pdf() or other graphic devices.

Because the returned object is a ggplot2 graph, the overall appearence of the graph can be edited by adding themes() to the plot.

Value

The functions returns a ggplot2-plot.
