Default Superpanel Function for splom

Description

This is the default superpanel function for splom.

Usage

panel.pairs(z,
            panel = "panel.splom",
            lower.panel = panel,
            upper.panel = panel,
            diag.panel = "diag.panel.splom",
            as.matrix = FALSE,
            groups = NULL,
            panel.subscripts,
            subscripts,
            pscales = 5,
            prepanel.limits = function(x) if (is.factor(x)) levels(x) else
            extend.limits(range(as.numeric(x), na.rm = TRUE)),
            ...)
diag.panel.splom(varname, limits, at, lab, draw = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

`z`	The data frame used for the plot.
`panel, lower.panel, upper.panel`	The panel function used to display each pair of variables. If specified, `lower.panel` and `upper.panel` are used for panels below and above the diagonal respectively.
`diag.panel`	The panel function used for the diagonals. See arguments to `diag.panel.splom` to know what arguments this function is passed when called.
`as.matrix`	logical. If `TRUE`, the layout of the panels will have origin on the top left instead of bottom left (similar to `pairs`). This is in essence the same functionality as provided by `as.table` for the panel layout
`groups`	Grouping variable, if any
`panel.subscripts`	logical specifying whether the panel function accepts an argument named `subscripts`.
`subscripts`	The indices of the rows of `z` that are to be displayed in this (super)panel.
`pscales`	Controls axis labels, passed down from `splom`. If pscales is a single number, it indicates the approximate number of equally-spaced ticks that should appear on each axis. If pscales is a list, it should have p components, each of which is itself a list with the following valid components: at: a numeric vector specifying tick locations labels: character vector labels to go with at limits: numeric 2-vector specifying axis limits (should be made more flexible at some point to handle factors) These are specifications on a per-variable basis, and used on all four sides in the diagonal cells used for labelling. Factor variables are labelled with the factor names. Use pscales=0 to supress the axes entirely.
`prepanel.limits`	The `regular' high level lattice plots such as `xyplot` use the `prepanel` function for deciding on axis limits from data. This function serves a similar function, and works on a per-variable basis, by calculating the limits, which can be overridden by the corresponding `limits` component in the `pscales` list.
`varname`	(scalar) character string or expression that is to be written centred within the panel
`limits`	numeric of length 2, or, vector of characters, specifying the scale for that panel (used to calculate tick locations when missing)
`at`	locations of tick marks
`lab`	optional labels for tick marks
`draw`	logical, specifying whether to draw the tick marks and labels. If `FALSE`, only variable names are written
`...`	extra arguments, typically graphical parameters to control appearance of axes and variable names in the diagonal panels. The actual list of possible arguments is rather large, see the formal arguments to `panel.pairs` and `panel.diag.splom` (using `formals`) for all the possibilities.

Details

This is the function that is actually passed in as the panel function in a trellis object produced by splom (taking the `panel' function as its argument).
