zoom {splancs}R Documentation

Interactively specify a region of a plot for expansion

Description

Interactively specify a region of a plot for expansion

Usage

zoom(out=F,quiet=F,...)

Arguments

out If true, expand the limits of the current plot by a factor of three, centred on the current plot.
quiet If false, prompt the user to enter two coordinates. If true, say nothing.
... Other arguments are passed through to pointmap.

Value

None

Side Effects

A prompt is optionally displayed, and the user selects two points forming the diagonal of a rectangle. A new, empty plot is created that has its axis limits set to the bounding square of the selected rectangle. If out=T, no prompt is displayed, and a new blank plot is created with its limits in x and y set to span an area three times the height and width centred on the current centre.
