\title{Graphical Input}
\description{
Reads the position of the graphics cursor when the (first) mouse
button is pressed, or replays from storage.
}
\usage{
Locator(n, type="n", info=NULL, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{n}{the maximum number of points to locate; the value of \code{n}
is ignored if }
\item{type}{One of '"n"', '"p"', '"l"' or '"o"'. If '"p"' or '"o"' the
points are plotted; if '"l"' or '"o"' they are joined by lines.}
\item{info}{arbitrary object; tracing information that is useful
in case the user likes to edit the stored sequence of inputs;
the value of \code{info} is considered only if \command{\link{useraction}}
has been called by \code{action="start.register"}
or \code{action="continue.register"}
}
\item{...}{additional graphics parameters}
}
\value{
A list containing 'x' and 'y' components which are the coordinates
of the identified points in the user coordinate system, i.e., the
one specified by 'par("usr")'.
}
\details{
The behaviour of \command{Locator} depends on the
the value of \code{action} set by \command{\link{useraction}},
see there for more information.
See also \code{\link[graphics]{locator}} for further information on
the parameters.
