I thought about that star graph again, and realized that it would be quite a handy thing for visualizing cyclic data like time or compass direction. Here is a cleaned up (and renamed) version to do a polar plot that starts at the right and goes counterclockwise or a 24 hour clock plot that starts at the top and goes clockwise. There are probably other varieties that would be interesting. Jim

Hello list, I wrote a simple program to plot data on polar axes, taking advantage of the plotrix package and its function radial.plot. The basic plot works fine, but I am having difficulties with the formatting. There are three problems, but I thought I would attack them one at a time. Here is the first: If my data set contains values with all vector lengths between 0 and 100 (and various

Hi, I just updated to R-2.1.1 and updated packages acordingly However, after the update, routines that use polar.plot did not function as correctly. In plotrix 1.3.3 the polar.plot function does scale label.pos to radians prior to calling radial.plot Hence, the command polar.plot(c(5,10,5,0),c(-10,0,10,20),rp.type='P',

Hello, I am using the polar.plot function from plotrix. Is there a way to change the width of the grid lines? grid.lwd doesn't work....

Hi, I'd like to plot in in polar coordinates a line which is given as a vector of lengths and angles. library("plotrix")

Hi, Two questions: 1 - Say I have average speed and directions for tide and I would like to plot them on a polar plot, but with different colors so I can indicate the two directions. I'm using polar.plot from the plotrix library. How can I add a second "b" and "dir.b" series to a polar.plot? library(plotrix) a = 3 dir.a = 85 b = 4 dir.b = 250 polar.plot(a, dir.a, start =

Hello, I am currently using the polar.plot function in the plotrix package to graph data. Unfortunately, it seems that the default for the labels is to have a background color that is covering the line representing my data, making it difficult to read. Is there a way to make this label background transparent? Example: lengths <- 0:72 bearing <- seq(from=0, to=360, by=5)

First a bit of background: After doing a search for a flexible polar plot function and coming up empty, I have begun writing one myself. Since I am new to writing mid-level graphics routines, this has required some learning about lattice, grid and related things. I am to the point where I have a workable proof of concept, but still need to make some improvements. My goal is to have

Hi Folks, Here is my attempt at a simple polar plot. > pos <- seq(0,360,by=5) > tspk <- rep(c(1,0,1),c(13,47,13)) > require(plotrix) > polar.plot(tspk,pos,rp.type="s",point.symbols=17,point.col="green4") I only see half the symbols, the other half of each symbol is hidden under the circular grid. In fact if I change rp.type="r", I see the

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

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

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

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

Hi, I try to compute circular means for a matrix with NAs, but the function "circ.mean" return only means for lines with complete values and do not accept "na.omit=T" or "na.rm=T", or "na.action=na.omit", or "na.fail=T". Also, I try to use "polar.plot" of the package poltrix with the same matrix, but angles are not display because of

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 ...

Hi, how can I reverse the radius axis of plotrix's polar.plot function? Perhaps this sounds strange, but I use the radians for angles as well: In the center is zenith and the corresponding angle is 90?, not 0. See an example plot at http://www.mysundial.ca/tsp/images/sun_chart_50_solar_polar.jpg dirs<-c("S","E","N","W")

I'd like to make some polar plots with R, but I can't seem to find anything designed to help with that. Is there anyway to get a real polar mode, where instead of x and y you have r and theta? How about a way to draw a circle? -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send

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
