grid.segments {grid} | R Documentation

## Draw Line Segments

### Description

These functions create and draw line segments.

### Usage

    grid.segments(x0 = unit(0, "npc"), y0 = unit(0, "npc"),
                  x1 = unit(1, "npc"), y1 = unit(1, "npc"),
                  default.units = "npc",
                  arrow = NULL,
                  name = NULL, gp = gpar(), draw = TRUE, vp = NULL)
    segmentsGrob(x0 = unit(0, "npc"), y0 = unit(0, "npc"),
                  x1 = unit(1, "npc"), y1 = unit(1, "npc"),
                  default.units = "npc",
                  arrow = NULL, name = NULL, gp = gpar(), vp = NULL)

### Arguments

`x0` | Numeric indicating the starting x-values of the line segments.
`y0` | Numeric indicating the starting y-values of the line segments.
`x1` | Numeric indicating the stopping x-values of the line segments.
`y1` | Numeric indicating the stopping y-values of the line segments.
`default.units` | A string.
`arrow` | A list describing arrow heads to place at either end of the line segments, as produced by the `arrow` function.
`name` | A character identifier.
`gp` | An object of class `gpar`.
`draw` | A logical value indicating whether graphics output should be produced.
`vp` | A Grid viewport object (or NULL).

### Details

Both functions create a segments grob (a graphical object describing segments), but only `grid.segments` draws the segments (and then only if `draw` is `TRUE`).

### Value

A segments grob. `grid.segments` returns the value invisibly.
