R Documentation

Variogram Cloud

Description

Create a scatter plot of square-root or squared differences between variable values at pairs of points versus the distance between the points.

Usage

spacecloud(point.obj, pair.obj, a1, a2, type='r', query.a, ...)

Arguments

`point.obj`	a point object generated by `point()`
`pair.obj`	a pair object generated by `pair()`
`a1`	a variable to plot
`a2`	an optional variable name, if entered the plot will be created between `a1` and `a2`
`type`	either `'r'` for square-root differences or `'s'` for squared differences
`query.a`	an optional variable name, if entered, the value of the variable will be displayed on the graphics device for points identified by the user.
`...`	additional arguments for `plot`

Value

NULL

Note

When query.a is entered, the user will be prompted to identify points on the display device. Because each point in the plot represents a pair of locations, the user must identify each point twice, once for the "from" point and once for the "to" point. Querying is ended by pressing the middle mouse button on the mouse while the cursor is in the display window.

Examples


opar <- par(ask = interactive() && .Device == "X11")
spacecloud(maas.point,maas.pair,'zinc')
# identify some points:
spacecloud(maas.point,maas.pair,'zinc',query.a='zinc')
par(opar)
