In a variety of graphic applications, I plot some data, together with arrows representing variables or linear transformations of variables as vectors in the same space, as in a biplot. In my applications, the scale of the arrows is arbitrary -- all that matters is relative length. I'd like to blow them up or shrink them to fit the available space in the plot. The origin is typically at

Dear list, I would like to plot arrows with different colors according to arrow length, and also (if possible) with head size proportional to arrow length. The idea is to make a quiver-like plot of matlab with wind speed data. So far, I´ve been able to use different colors, but I need to find a more efficient way to recode arrow length intervals into colors. On the contrary, I can't define

Hello everyone (and Hadley in particular), I often need to plot data from multiple datasets on the same graph. A common example is when mapping some values: I want to plot the underlying map and then add the points. I currently do it with base graphics, by recording the maximum region in which my map+point will fit, plotting both with these xlim and ylim parameters, adding par (new=T)

Hello, I am trying to create a plot often seen in hydrodynamic work than includes a contour plot representing the water speed with arrows pointing in the direction of flow. Does anyone have any idea how I might add arrows based on wf$angle (in the example below) to the plot below? Thanks in advance! Sam library(lattice) speed <- runif(100, 0, 20) wf <- data.frame(speed) wf$width <-

Dear all, I need to run a interactive procedure where the user will need click on the screen (over a XY plot) and I need to record the XY coordinate which the user clicked. Roughly I wrote a short code below. You see that I suppose that the user will choose four coordinates inside the region of intersection between three segmentes. On each click, I would like to record the position clicked in a

Hi Kostas, The function vectorField in the plotrix package may do what you want. See the example.

Hello, After usefull suggestions by Paul Murrell, i have been trying to use my.symbols to plot arrows of varying angles on my plot in order to create a time series of wind direction... however,i have been unable to figure out how the allignment of symbols works... below i have included a simplified code that illustrates my problem: (i am creating a .ps file ... so i've included this in my

I have a diagram to be included in latex, where all my figures are .eps graphics (so pdflatex is not an option) and I want to achieve something like the following: three concentric filled circles varying in lightness or saturation. It is easiest to do this using transparency, but in my test using the postscript driver, the transparent color fills do not appear. Is it correct that postscript()

I am working on plotting a response surface using wireframe(). The default style/orientation is z | | y | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \|________________x 0 Now what I want the orientation of axes is: z | | | |

Dear all, I'd like to produce a simple pie chart for a customer (I know it's bad but they insist), and I have some difficulties setting the initial angle. For example: pie(c(60, 40), init.angle=14) and pie(c(80, 20), init.angle=338) both present the slices in the same direction, where: pie(c(60, 40)) pie(c(80, 20)) present the slices in different directions. I read everything I

Dear Rcommunity, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek your assistance with a data visualization problem I am facing while working with R. Problem Description: I have a dataframe named "df" containing the following columns: "longitude", "latitude", "sea_currents_mag", and "sea_currents_direction". The dataframe includes sea

Hi, I wonder whether R can finish the following project: I want to make a chart to represent 10 genes. Each gene has orientation and length. Therefore, a gene can be represented by arrows. Can R be used to draw 10 arrows in one line ? scott --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

arrows() seems to hang when either x or y scale of the plot is logarithmic and the arrows requested go beyond the plot (by more than a certain amount). I didn't go into C code to find it, but here's a function that exercises the bug a bit ... arrow.bug2 <- function(y0=1,y1=10,log="y") { plot(c(0.1,1),c(1,10),log=log) arrows(x0=0.5, y0=y0, x1=0.5,

hi R users: I have a dataset including u wind in x-axis and v wind in y-axis. How can I plot the u,v wind data in vector or barb figure? which command ? thank you . -- TANG Jie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have started using biplot() (with R1.3.0 on Windows) and have become very frustrated. As far as I can see, I follow the directions but either it doesn't do what I want it to do, it gives fairly arcane error messages or both. All I want to do is plot two separate data sets to see how different they are from each other with respect to two metrics that are represented by the two axes. My

hello, ladyes and gentlemans. check this: means<-c(4,6,8) stand.error<-c(0.1,0.3,0.5) now i've strongly tryed to scatterplot the means(y-axis),by showing their sd with the arrow(..,code=3,angle=90) function. The problem is that my x-axis has categorical values (say, factor(x)), and the arrows() can't recognize them as right coordinates. ????? thank you all in advance B.F. insubria

Hi, I am trying to plot odds ratios and the corresponding confidence intervals in horizontal segments. It would be ideal if the confidence interval segment can be drawn with little vertical bars at both ends. I have tried very hard to change the type of ends by using 'lend' arguments, but cannot make it. I even tried 'arrows()', but still failed. Following is the code I use:

Hi all, I've been using the arrows() function in plots a lot, but I'm not happy with the appearance of the arrow heads. I understand that arrows () doesn't offer more sophisticated arrowhead shapes like e.g. a filled triangle, possibly with choice of angle at the point. Does anyone know an easy way to achieve this? thanks Hendrik

I was teaching new R users to make some fun graphs. I had some arrows examples worked up we came across a problem. The arrows function ignores 2nd and following elements of vectors given as code an angle. Would you please consider 1) allowing vectors for code and angle, or 2) returning an error or warning when user mistakenly supplies a vector for those parameters? When code like this is
