R help - Jun 2006 - Plotting Upper triangle of Matrix with diagonal as the Base

Hi..
  
     I a have a symmetric matrix to plot . I would like to plot  only the Upper
triangle but with the diagonal as the Base of the  rectangle. Is there an easy
way to do it.
  
  Thanks.

Try these functions (modify to suit your needs:

 tri1 <- function(x){
	n <- dim(x)[2]
	for(i in n:1){
		for( j in 1:(n-i+1) ){
			cat(sprintf('  %5.2f',x[j,j+i-1]))
		}
		cat("\n")
	}
}


tri2 <- function(x){
	n <- dim(x)[2]
	for(i in n:1){
		cat( rep(' ', 3*(i-1)), sep='',collapse='' )
		for( j in 1:(n-i+1) ){
			cat(sprintf(' %5.2f',x[j,j+i-1]))
		}
		cat("\n")
	}
}

tmp <- matrix(1:25,5) # not symmetric, but you get the idea
tri1(tmp)
tri2(tmp)

Hope this helps,
