Creates a fabric plot using the eigenvalue method

Usage

woodcock_plot(x, labels = NULL, add = FALSE, max = 7, ...)

Arguments

x

object of class "Vec3", "Line", or "Plane".

labels

character. text labels

add

logical. Should data be plotted to an existing plot?

max

numeric. Maximum value for x and y axes. If NULL, it is calculated from the data.

...

optional graphical parameters

Value

A plot and when stored as an object, the orientation tensor's eigenvalues and eigenvectors as a list.
