similar to: plotting circles

Dear R-users, Hereby a polar plot function for plotting angular data. I hope it will be usefull for some of you. I had a need to plot frequencies of wind-directions. The not-that-cheap SigmaPlot software did not allow me to change the orientation of the angular axis to clockwise orientation (what is used for meteorological observations). I even tried the latest version availible at the time

Dear R-users, As noted by Paul Murrell < p.murrell at auckland.ac.nz > there is errors in the code for polar plotting I send to R-help under the title "Polar plot, circular plot (angular data)" at Thu Oct 17 2002 - 12:18:20 CEST. Thanks! I have reorganized the code into a structure ('pp'). This allows plots to be modified to a greater extent by passing arguments by ...

I inherited a function written either for an older version of R or SPlus to draw a brace, "{", in a graph. It uses par("uin") to determine the scaling of the quarter circles that make up segments of the brace, but that setting doesn't exist in current R. I'm guessing that, in the function below, ux, uy can be defined from par("usr") and

Dear r-help, Somewhere in my innocuous function to rotate an object in Cartesian space I've created a monster that completely locks up my computer (requires a hard reset every time). I don't know if this is useful description to anyone - the mouse still responds, but not the keyboard and not windows explorer. The script only does this when the input matrix is large, and so my initial

Dear all: I'm enjoying using rgl and I want to set a specific viewpoint. I understand that view3d() will do so by setting the 3d polar coordinate angles, theta and phi. In standard polar coordinates, theta is the angle away from the X axis in the X-Y plane and phi (inclination angle) is the angle between the Z axis and the radius vector It appears that when you use view3d() theta is

I'd like to create a polar plot similar to those created by the polarFreq function in the openair package. However, this package seems to be specific to wind speed and direction, and requires a "ws" (wind speed) and a "wd" (wind direction) column. My data is unrelated to wind speed, but I'd like to be able to get a plot that does what polarFreq's plots do; I'd

I have been trying to visualize times of lowest tides, month by month. I have tide predictions with times either in unix time or a text format, and heights in feet or meters. I had been able to derive the clock times of each prediction. I would now like to graph this data with points showing heights as "r" and times as "theta", from 0000 to 2355. There is a seasonal

Dear All, I am not very into object-oriented programming, but I would like to learn the ropes for some R applications. Quoting from the online R language definition (paragraph 5.1) > Consider the following simple example. A point in two-dimensional > Euclidean space can be specified by its Cartesian (x-y) or polar > (r-theta) coordinates. Hence, to store information about the location

Hello all- I would like to orient my polar.plot (from package plotrix) so that the circular scale runs clockwise and the origin (ie. 0 degrees) starts at the top of the plot. The defaults of running the scale counter-clockwise and beginning with 90 degrees at the top of the graph seems counter-intuitive to me. I'm using R 2.5.0, and plotrix version 2.2-4. Many thanks, Tim

Is there packaged code to convert geographical coordinates (e.g., longitude, latitude, elevation) to Cartesian coordinates in 3-space? I can see how to do this using 1. a spherical-to-Cartesian conversion like pracma::sph2cart(tpr) http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pracma/ 2. a geographical-to-spherical conversion. This seems to involve (in roughly increasing order of difficulty or

Kia Ora > Although I'm not sure what problem it would solve... Given that you asked, I was interested in writing a multiple assignment function as a replacement function, so something like: massign (x, y, z) = construct.some list () Obviously, that's not possible. Probably the best example I can think of is converting cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates. Then we might have

I'm making some illustrations and it would be convenient to automatically shade the overlapping portions of circles. These illustrations are for Social Choice theory, a field in political science and economics. I've wrestled together some examples so you can see what I mean, but have not mastered the "color overlapping sections" problem (as you will see):

Thanks. So after searching 4 hours last night it looks like that there is no R package that can do this right now. Any other ideas or suggestions might be helpful.RegardsAlex On Wednesday, June 21, 2017 3:21 PM, Alaios via R-help <r-help at r-project.org> wrote: Thanks Duncan for the replyI can not suppress anything these are radiation pattern measurements that are typically are

Thanks Duncan for the replyI can not suppress anything these are radiation pattern measurements that are typically are taken at X,Y and Z planes. See an example here, where I want to plot the measurements for the red, green and blue planes (so the image below withouth the 3d green structure inside)https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258391165/figure/fig7/AS:322947316240401 at

I want to plot many points and want to use circles. The filling color depends on variable a. if a=1, then not fill if a=2 then fill with red, if a=3 then fill with blue, if a=4, fill half with red and half with blue. Can anyone tell me how to plot the case "a=4"? Thanks a lot

Kia Ora Let's say we have: "myreplacementfunction<-" = function (..., value) { call = sys.call () print (as.list (call) ) 0 } Then we call: x = 0 myreplacementfunction (x, y, z) = 0 It will return: [[1]] `myreplacementfunction<-` [[2]] `*tmp*` [[3]] y [[4]] z $value <promise: 0x06fb6968> There's two problems here. Firstly, x has to be defined otherwise we

Hello, I have been following the thread dated Monday, October 9, 2006 when Kamila Naxerova asked a question about plotting elliptical shapes. Can you explain the equations for X and Y. I believe they used the parametric form of x and y (x=r cos(theta), y=r sin(theta). I don't know what r is here ? Can you explain 1)the origin of these equations and 2) what is r? Sincerely, Mary A. Marion

Hi all,I had a question last week on asking for a function that will help me draw three different circles on x,y,z axis based on polar coordinates (Each X,Y,Z circle are coming from three independent measurements of 1-360 polar coordinates). It turned out that there ?is no such function in R and thus I am trying to write my own piece of code that hopefully I will be able to share. I have spent

Hello, I want to draw 3D cylinder objects in R. Given is the length and the diameter of the cylinder. Has anybody an example? Thank you very much!

Dear R-help, I have a matrix of data values specified in polar coordinates, i.e. (r,theta). I know that I can transform this image to Cartesian coordinates and then use image to display the results, however, I want to display the image as is, without any coordinate transformations. This would require displaying individual "pieces of pie" colour-coded by their data value. A comparable
