[R] 6 regions around a point

[Boris Steipe]

# A general approach to "lines" on a plot is provided by segments().
# However in this special case you can use abline(). 
# You have to take care though that your aspect ratio for the
# plot is exactly 1. Therefore you have to set the asp parameter.

p <- c(2,4)
plot(p[1], p[2], xlim=c(0,5), ylim=c(0,10), xlab="", ylab="", asp=1.0)
abline(h=p[2], lty=2)
abline(p[2] - (p[1]*tan(pi/3)),  tan(pi/3), lty=2)
abline(p[2] + (p[1]*tan(pi/3)), -tan(pi/3), lty=2)

# If you need to reproduce Fig. 2a more exactly:
#  - plot your frame a bit larger, don't draw axes
#  - draw the ablines
#  - draw two arrows to symbolize the coordinate axes

p <- c(2,4)
plot(p[1], p[2], xlim=c(-0.5,10.5), ylim=c(-0.5,10.5), , xlab="", ylab="", axes=n, asp=1.0)
abline(h=p[2], lty=2)
abline(p[2] - (p[1]*tan(pi/3)),  tan(pi/3), lty=2)
abline(p[2] + (p[1]*tan(pi/3)), -tan(pi/3), lty=2)
arrows(0, 0, 10, 0, length=0.1)
arrows(0, 0, 0, 10, length=0.1)


Cheers,
