[R] plot circles where z values are circles radius

Hi there,
I am trying to plot z values using Circle symbol. Each x and y has a value
which will be plotted using a circle where circle's radius is corrlated
with the value of z.

I wrote the code , but unable to change the size of circle no matter what I
chose for Scale. Any help please?

x=c(84390255386 ,84390255386, 78028317380 ,53594648044,422)
y=c(949849442 ,941645043, 840135292, 74, 821632939)
z=c(0.005641896, 0.005641896 ,0.005641896, 0.007978846,0.007978846)

convertToRadius<-function(x){return(sqrt(x/pi))}

scale=0.3

xlims =c(min(x),max(x))
ylims =c(min(y),max(y))
z=convertToRadius(z)*scale

symbols(x,y, circles=z,  fg='red')

thanks
Alireza

[R] plot circles where z values are circles radius

Hi,

see the help and especially the argument inches:

Argument inches controls the sizes of the symbols. If TRUE (the default), the
symbols are scaled so that the largest dimension of any symbol is one inch. If a
positive number is given the symbols are scaled to make largest dimension this
size in inches (so TRUE and 1 are equivalent). If inches is FALSE, the units are
taken to be those of the appropriate axes. (For circles, squares and stars the
units of the x axis are used. For boxplots, the lengths of the whiskers are
regarded as dimensions alongside width and height when scaling by inches, and
are otherwise interpreted in the units of the y axis.)

Try 

scale=500000000000

xlims =c(min(x),max(x))
ylims =c(min(y),max(y))
z=convertToRadius(z)*scale

symbols(x,y, circles=z,  fg='red', inches=FALSE)

I think what you should look at are these web sites I found with a Google
search:

Cheers!

[R] plot circles where z values are circles radius

Hi Alireza,
Part of the problem is the scale of your numbers. You probably want
something like this.

plot(x,y,cex=z/min(z)*2)

What happens here is that the default plotting character, which
happens to be a circle, is plotted in a size relative to the ratio of
each z value to the minimum z value. This is because the default value
of cex is 1. I have multiplied the result by 2 to make what is
happening more obvious. If you want to generate circles with specific
diameters, you will have to scale these to the area of the plot in
user units - see par("usr").

Jim
