Source: R/interactive.R

Extension of the identify function

# Default S3 method
click(x, y=NULL, label=TRUE, n=length(x), pch=19, col="orange", cex=3, ...)
idplot(x, y ,..., id=list(), return.data=FALSE)

Arguments

x

X coordinates

...

Additional arguments parsed to plot function

y

Y coordinates

label

Should labels be added?

n

Max number of inputs to expect

pch

col

Colour

cex

if (interactive()) {
    n <- 10; x <- seq(n); y <- runif(n)
    plot(y ~ x); click(x,y)

    data(iris)
    l <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width*Species,iris)
    res <- plotConf(l,var2="Species")## ylim=c(6,8), xlim=c(2.5,3.3))
    with(res, click(x,y))

    with(iris, idplot(Sepal.Length,Petal.Length))
