Hello everyone, In geology we often do rose diagrams showing the number of features along a certain compass direction within a given range (bin) of angle (0-180 degrees). I was wondering if anybody has had experience with this in R and if they could recommend a package. I looked at the circular package but it seems to deal only in radian and we normally use degrees. I've also looked a little at openair being rose diagrams are often used for wind directions. Any suggestions / guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Look at circular more carefully. It accepts both degrees and radians, but you have to create a circular object with circular() to specify what kind of circular data you have. Then you can plot and get circular statistics on your data. ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of David Doyle Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 3:42 PM To: r-help at r-project.org Subject: [R] Rose Diagrams for Geology Hello everyone, In geology we often do rose diagrams showing the number of features along a certain compass direction within a given range (bin) of angle (0-180 degrees).
