Hello, I am having two difficulties with xspline: 1) Passing lty=2 (via ...) appears to have no effect 2) Apparently depending on the current plot axes, I may or may not get the failure: add_point - reached MAXNUMPTS (25200) This happens both on Linux/R 2.8.0 (details below) and Windows Vista/R 2.8.0 patched (2008-10-21 r46766) S...

I am attempting to generate a series of plots with cubic B-Splines and the code I am using is generating the following error message that I have been unable to resolve. Error in grid.Call.graphics("L_xspline", x$x, x$y, x$shape, x$open, x$arrow, : add_point - reached MAXNUMPTS (25200) This is the code that generates this error. plot.results <- function(dfn) { dt <- read.table(dfn) shp <- rep(1, as.numeric(length(dt$year))) shp[1] <- shp[as.numeric(length(dt$year))] <- 0 gri...

Hi all, I'm trying to draw a contour plot with rounded (smoothed) contour lines instead of sharp angles; when the grid consists of only a few points in x- and y- axis, the resulting contour is in facts rather ugly since very sharp angles may appear. I did not find any way to do it, by using either "contour" or "contourplot" (from the lattice package), I wonder if there

Does anyone know how to do hermite or Bezier splines in R? I can find Matlab routines, but really need to implement them in R. Failing that I'd be interested in other conformal splines.

Hi, Am looking for an R package that will provide the drawing of curves and arcs of arbitrary shapes to use in illustrations. For example bent lines and arrows. Allan.

Hello everybody, I'm trying to understand how to draw a smoothed scatterplot on a geographic map with R. Have a dataframe with point locations (long, lat) and was able to simply plot these points on a shp map by using the maptools package. However, instead of having simply the raw points on the map, I would like to have a "smoothed" scatterplot of the same superimposed on the map.

...") If I'm not mistaken, neither gList nor gTree seem to produce the documented behavior, "If the grob describes multiple shapes, the boundary value will either correspond to the edge of a bounding box around all of the shapes described by the grob (for multiple rectangles, circles, xsplines, or text), or to a convex hull around all vertices of all shapes described by the grob (for multiple polygons, points, lines, polylines, and segments)." with gList, I observe that the boundary is only considered for the first shape, whilst gTree ignores all children altogether. It works fin...

Hi, I?m trying to get smooth curves connecting points in a plot using "spline" but I don?t get what I whant. Eg.: x<-1:5 y <- c(0.31, 0.45, 0.84, 0.43, 0.25) plot(x,y) lines(spline(x,y)) Creates a valley between the first and second points, then peaks at 3rd, and another valley between 4th and 5th. I?m trying to get a consistently growing curve up to the 3rth point and then a

...o R CMD INSTALL used the C locale to install the DESCRIPTION file, and so escaped non-ASCII characters in packages with a declared encoding of "latin1" or "UTF-8". (However, the installed DESCRIPTION file was rarely used since the dumped metadata are available.) o xspline() now respects inline par settings. It and grid.xspline() now handle the special case of only two control points, and splines with control points that are located well outside the device (e.g., a zoomed view of a larger curve). (Both cases were giving the error "reached MAXNUMPTS")....

I'm trying to use R to determine the quality of a cubic Bezier curve approximation of an elliptical arc. I know the four control points and I want to compute (x,y) coordinates of many points on the curve. I can't find anything in either the base distribution or CRAN that does this; all the spline-related packages seem to be about *fitting* piecewise Bezier curves to a data set.

Hello, I have a spreadsheet of pairs of coordinates and I would like to plot a line along which curves/arcs connect each pair of coordinates. The aim is to visualise the pattern of point connections.

Hello everyone, I was trying to fit a spline to some points and I was quite surprised to find out that the function spline does not take into account the order of the points themselves, but orders them by x. For instance, I have: x <- c(262, 275, 264, 250, 247, 242, 238, 233) y <- c(422, 389, 359, 308, 269, 229, 191, 176) plot(x, y, xlim=c(0, 500), ylim=c(0,500)) s <- spline(x,y)

I'm trying to draw an arrow with a curved shaft on the graph as a straight one looks messy on a detailed graph. I've looked in arrows but it doesn't seem to give an option. larrows doesn't look much more promising. I had a look in the archive and couldn't find anything. Any thoughts?

If I have, say, five scatter points and want to connect them together into a smooth curve. I did plot(x,y,type="l"), but the graph is five segments connecting with each other, but not a smooth curve. I wonder if there is a line type that is a curve. Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/connecting-points-into-a-smooth-curve-tp3021796p3021796.html Sent
