Today Ruya Gokhan Kocer asked me how to use the R function identify()
in off-screen graphics devices. Actually it’s pretty easy as long as we obtain the list returned by identify(pos = TRUE)
. For example,
# open a windows device x11() x = rnorm(20) y = rnorm(20) plot(x, y) # identify 5 points id = identify(x, y, n = 5, pos = TRUE) # $ind # [1] 2 6 10 14 16 # # $pos # [1] 1 1 4 4 1 # then open a bitmap device png("identify.png") plot(x, y) # use the information from above mouse click text(x[id$ind], y[id$ind], id$ind, pos = id$pos) dev.off()
