adds a colored shape to a plot

plots outer and inner shape and colors inbetween; color can be a palette

filledshape(xyouter, xyinner = colMeans(xyouter), 
            col = femmecol(100), values = NULL, 
            zlim = NULL, lcol = NA, lwd = 2, ...)

Arguments

xyouter

2-column matrix with x,y values of outer shape.

xyinner

2-column matrix of 2-valued vector with x,y values of inner shape; default is centroid of xyouter.

col

color palette to be used; also allowed are two extremes.

values

if not NULL, a matrix providing (radius,z-values) couples, used for coloring.

zlim

Only if values is not NULL: the minimum and maximum z values for which colors should be plotted, defaulting to the range of the finite values of the second column of *values*.

lcol

line color.

lwd

width of external line, only if lcol != NA.

...

arguments passed to R-function polygon

Details

draws and outer and inner shape, as specified in xyouter, and xyinner and fills with a palette of colors inbetween;

values: if not null, a matrix providing (radius,z-values) couples, used for coloring. Here radius are positive values denoting the relative distance between the shapes centre and edge. The radiusses are rescaled to be in [0,1] if needed. z-values (2nd column of values) together with zlim and col denote the coloration level.

Colors in col will be interpolated to the z-values and used to color an interval as given by the input radiusses.

If xyinner is a point, the shape is full.
