_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function makes a graphical diagram of multivariate data.
     Every element represents one line in the sun and the length of the
     line indicates the concentration of the element.

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a matrix or a data frame 

    full: if TRUE, a whole circle will be made 

   scale: if TRUE, the data will be scaled 

  radius: should be TRUE, otherwise the lines in the sun will not be
          plotted 

  labels: the labels for the suns inside the map 

locations: the locations for the suns inside the map 

nrow, ncol: integers giving the number of rows and columns to use when
          locations=NULL

     len: scaling factor for the length of the lines (according to the
          size of the map) 

 key.loc: the location for the legend 

key.labels: the labels in the legend 

 key.xpd: A logical value or NA. If FALSE, all plotting is clipped to
          the plot region, if TRUE, all plotting is clipped to the
          figure region, and if NA, all plotting is clipped to the
          device region. 

flip.labels: logical indication if the label locations should flip up
          and down from diagram to diagram. 

    axes: if FALSE, no axes will be drawn 

frame.plot: if TRUE, a box will be made around the plot 

main, sub, xlab, xlim, ylim, col.stars, ylab, cex, lwd, lty, xpd, mar: 
          graphical parameters and labels for the plot 

     add: if TRUE, it will be added to the plot

    plot: nothing is plotted 

     ...: graphical parameters for plotting the box

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each sun represents one row of the input x. Each line of the sun
     represents one choosen element. The distance from the center of
     the sun to the point shows the size of the value of the (scaled)
     column.
