Create a Serialaxes Widget

The seerialaxes widget displays multivariate data either as a stacked star glyph plot, or as a parallel coordinate plot.

l_serialaxes(data, sequence, scaling = "variable",
  axesLayout = "radial", showAxes = TRUE, parent = NULL, ...)

Arguments

data	a data frame with numerical data only
sequence	vector with variable names that defines the axes sequence
scaling	one of 'variable', 'data', 'observation' or 'none' to specify how the data is scaled. See Details for more information
axesLayout	either "radial" or "parallel"
showAxes	boolean to indicate whether axes should be shown or not
parent	parent widget path
...	state arguments, see l_info_states.

Value

plot handle object

Details

The scaling state defines how the data is scaled. The axes display 0 at one end and 1 at the other. For the following explanation assume that the data is in a nxp dimensional matrix. The scaling options are then

variable	per column scaling
observation	per row scaling
data	whole matrix scaling
none	do not scale

Examples

s <- l_serialaxes(data=oliveAcids, color=olive$Area, title="olive data")
s['axesLayout'] <- 'parallel'
states <- l_info_states(s)
