FastLed Matrix with nonlinear led array - arduino

I built this LED lamp project where i put 126 ping pong balls with ws2812B leds inside, into a glass vase.
I had no previous knowledge of fastled prior to this.
The balls are all jumbled up and leds are in no apparent sequence any longer.
In the code I created a 3d array where I assigned each led a position in the matrix by taping a grid on the outside of the vase and selecting each led with a built in potentiometer and reading the led number from the serial monitor.
so I now have this 3d array
int led_zyx[3][7][13] =
{
{ {92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92},
{92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92},
{78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78, 78},
{65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65, 65},
{40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40},
{24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24},
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}
},
{
{124, 124, 124, 124, 110, 119, 119, 116, 116, 108, 108, 108, 117},
{92, 89, 89, 107, 104, 104, 110, 116, 105, 108, 108, 106, 106},
{85, 84, 84, 77, 98, 82, 97, 97, 75, 92, 91, 85, 85},
{34, 73, 73, 60, 60, 82, 65, 65, 45, 62, 72, 34, 34},
{38, 32, 50, 46, 47, 40, 51, 40, 29, 29, 38, 38, 38},
{0, 17, 17, 46, 25, 25, 31, 31, 10, 29, 23, 23, 23},
{2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 10, 2, 2, 2}
},
{
{113, 118, 114, 109, 125, 115, 121, 120, 120, 123, 112, 112, 117},
{95, 89, 103, 83, 83, 99, 100, 122, 111, 101, 96, 106, 102},
{84, 94, 81, 80, 83, 88, 79, 70, 87, 86, 96, 90, 93},
{74, 67, 55, 68, 76, 56, 69, 57, 61, 71, 58, 63, 74},
{54, 49, 26, 37, 42, 41, 36, 43, 52, 44, 33, 59, 66},
{18, 19, 13, 20, 25, 25, 21, 30, 22, 35, 39, 33, 27},
{14, 8, 3, 9, 4, 4, 12, 16, 5, 11, 15, 28, 7}
},
};
So i already managed to create of all kinds of cool modes like that - except of using the outside of the lamp/vase as an XY matrix to draw animations on it. It would be a comfortable 13x7 pixels to play around with, but I cant quite figure out how to address it properly to display graphics, or text or pixel animations.
Could anyone give me a pointer how to approach this?
I looked into XYmatris and smartmatrix, but they require the leds to be layed out in a specific order - not in that random way mine are set up.
Thank you for your help

How to consecutively subset an array and count the number of iterations?

I need to repeatedly apply a function on the resultant arrays until all data in the array is reduced to a single set, and count the number of iterations.

applying once more

b<-which.max(a)
e<-d[d[,b]>25,,drop=FALSE]
results in a array with no values
structure(numeric(0), .Dim = c(0L, 14L))
Then, the operation can be performed a number of times, and I need to know how many times; in this case it was 3 times.
Also, I need to reduce the number of the lines of the code probably with a loop function, as the action is repetitive.

You can use recursion as shown below:
fun<- function(x, i=1){
a<-which.max(colSums(x<25))
b<-x[x[,a] > 25,, drop = FALSE]
if(length(b)) Recall(b, i+1) else i
}

I want to aggregate each of the variables divided by sex to a single combined variable. For example, I want to add ag18to19_m and ag18to19_f to create ag18to19. I can easily do this using mutate and the following code and order them to the front of the data frame:
aggregated <- merged %>%
mutate(ag18to19 = ag18to19_m + ag18to19_f) %>%
relocate(ag18to19, .before = ag18to19_m) %>%
mutate(ag20 = ag20_m + ag20_f) %>%
relocate(ag20, .before = ag20_m) %>%
mutate(ag21 = ag21_m + ag21_f) %>%
relocate(ag21, .before = ag21_m) %>%
mutate(ag22to24 = ag22to24_m + ag22to24_f) %>%
relocate(ag22to24, .before = ag22to24_m) %>%
mutate(ag25to29 = ag25to29_m + ag25to29_f) %>%
relocate(ag25to29, .before = ag25to29_m) %>%
mutate(ag30to34 = ag30to34_m + ag30to34_f) %>%
relocate(ag30to34, .before = ag30to34_m)
I know there's a more efficient way to do this using a loop or map_df function that will also give me a data frame as an output. I've been trying for the last hour to write a function and use map_df but haven't had any success. Does anyone have a suggestion?
More efficient code here is best practice and will help me apply this same data cleaning step to several other variables that are grouped in the same way (e.g., income grouped by sex or education grouped by age).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here is an option in tidyverse
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
merged1 <- merged %>%
mutate(across(ends_with('_m'), ~
. + get(str_replace(cur_column(), '_m', '_f')),
.names = '{.col}_new')) %>%
rename_at(vars(ends_with('_new')),
~ str_remove(., '_[m]_new$')) %>%
select(tract_id, order(names(.)[-1]) + 1)

I want to create a plotly animation in R. The animation is not working as intended. There is a mix up in the frames. Frames 100:109 are at the start. May I ask for some help, how to get the frames in the right order?

library(plotly)
library(dplyr)
library(purrr)
LifeExpCH %>%
split(.$Age) %>% accumulate(~bind_rows(.x, .y)) %>%
set_names(0:111) %>%
bind_rows(.id = "frame") %>%

R - hist plot colours by quantile

I am trying to do a simple hist plot and colour the bins by quantile.
I was wondering why when the bins size change the colours gets all messed up.
Maybe I am not doing it right from the beginning.
The quantiles are
quantile(x)
0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
0.00 33.75 58.00 78.25 123.00
Then I am setting the colours with the quantile values
k = ifelse(test = x <= 34, yes = "#8DD3C7",
no = ifelse(test = (x > 34 & x <= 58), yes = "#FFFFB3",
no = ifelse(test = (x > 58 & x <= 79), yes = "#BEBADA",
no = ifelse(test = (x > 79), yes = "#FB8072", 'grey'))) )
Then when I plot with larger bin, I get :
hist(dt, breaks = 10, col = k)
Which seems right, even though the last bin is wrong (?!).
But when I try with smaller bins, the colours are not right.
Could someone help me understand why is it wrong ? Or if my code is wrong ?
The x in question
x = c(23, 23, 16, 16, 34, 34, 43, 43, 97, 97, 63, 63, 39, 39, 29,

It is because you mistunderstand the col argument of hist.
The col argument is a vector where col[i] is the colour of the ith bar of the histogram.
Your k vector has one element per element of x, which is many more than the number of bars in the histogram.
In the first case, only the first 13 elements of k are used to colour the bars (in that order), since there are only 13 bars. In the second case, the first n elements of k are used to colour the bars, where n is the number of bars (see how the first 13 bars of the small-bin histogram have the same colour as the first 13 of the first histogram?).
If you want to colour the bars by quantile, you will have to work out how many bars are in each quantile (not how many data points), and create your k like that.
To do this, you need to know the histogram breaks - the breakpoints of your bins. The output of hist returns an object where you can get the breakpoints and so on - see ?hist.
# do the histogram counts to get the break points
# don't plot yet
h <- hist(x, breaks=20, plot=F) # h$breaks and h$mids
To work out the colour the bar should be, you can use either the starting coordinate of each bar (all but the last element of h$breaks), the ending coordinate of each bar (all but the first element of h$breaks) or the midpoint coordinate of each bar (h$mids). Set your colours like you did above.
The findInterval(h$mids, quantile(x), ...) works out which quantile each bar is in (determined by the bar's midpoint); it returns an integer with which interval it is in, or 0 if it's outside (though by definition every bar of the histogram is between the 0th and 100th quantile, so technically your "grey" colour is not ever used). rightmost.closed makes sure the 100% quantile value is included in the top-most colour bracket. The cols[findInterval(...)+1] is just a cool/tricksy way to do your ifelse(h$mids <= ..., "$8DD3C7", ifelse(h$mids <= ..., .....)); you could do it the ifelse way if you prefer.
cols <- c('grey', "#8DD3C7", "#FFFFB3", "#BEBADA", "#FB8072")
k <- cols[findInterval(h$mids, quantile(x), rightmost.closed=T, all.inside=F) + 1]
# plot the histogram with the colours
plot(h, col=k)
Have a look at k - it is only as long as the number of bars in the histogram, rather than as long as the number of datapoints in x.

Cleaning text of tweet messages

I have a csv of tweets. I got it using this ruby library:
https://github.com/sferik/twitter .
The csv is two columns and 150 rows, the second column is the text message:
Text
1 RT #AlstomTransport: #Alstom and OHL to supply a #metro system to #Guadalajara #rail #Mexico http://t.co/H88paFoYc3 http://t.co/fuBPPqNts4
I have to do a sentiment analysis, so i need to clean the text message, removing links, RT, Via, and everything useless for the analysis.
I tried with R, using code found in several tutorials:
> data1 = gsub("(RT|via)((?:\\b\\W*#\\w+)+)", "", data1)
But the output is without any sense:
[1] "1:150"
[2] "c(113, 46, 38, 11, 108, 100, 45, 44, 9, 89, 99, 93, 102, 101, 110, 93, 61, 57, 104, 66, 86, 53, 42, 43, 37, 7, 88, 32, 122, 131, 14, 102, 105, 12, 54, 13, 72, 87, 55, 132, 29, 28, 10, 15, 81, 81, 107, 87, 106, 81, 98, 73, 65, 52, 94, 97, 65, 59, 60, 50, 48, 121, 117, 75, 79, 111, 115, 119, 118, 91, 79, 31, 76, 111, 85, 62, 91, 103, 79, 120, 78, 47, 49, 8, 129, 123, 124, 58, 71, 25, 36, 80, 127, 112, 23, 22, 35, 21, 30, 74, 82, 51, 63, 130, 135, 134, 90, 83, 63, 128, 16, 20, 19, 34, 27, 26, 33, 77, \n114, 126, 64, 69, 4, 135, 41, 40, 17, 67, 92, 96, 84, 92, 56, 18, 125, 5, 6, 133, 24, 39, 70, 95, 116, 68, 84, 109, 92, 3, 1, 2)"
Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Looks like you tried to pass in the entire data.frame to gsub rather than just the text column. gsub prefers to work on character vectors. Instead you should do
data1[,2] = gsub("(RT|via)((?:\\b\\W*#\\w+)+)", "", data1[,2])
to just transform the second column.
