I want to create 50 concentric circles. I did it with python but now I want to do this in R. I have tried the symbols function but with no result. I want my circles to start from x,y coordinates and the radius of each circle to be 3times bigger than the previous.
step=1
for(i in seq(1,50,1)){
symbols (x, y, circles=50, col="grey")
step=step+3
}
From this I get one circle as a result.
I am new in programming so it is probably very simple. Should I use a specific package?
The beauty of R is that many things can be vectorized, including the imput to the 'symbols' function. Here's an example for you:
#vector of radii
#written in a way that's easily changable
n_circles <- 50
my_circles <- seq(1,by=1,length.out = n_circles)
#generate x and y
x <- rep(1,n_circles)
y <- rep(1, n_circles)
#plot
symbols(x,y,1:n_circles)

I need to create something like a spider chart in R without using any libraries. That’s my code for now. It creates a figure with points number equal to the length of vector ‘a’. However, I’d like each point to be at the distance from the coordinates center equal to a respective number in a vector, for example one point at a distance 1, another at 2, so on. Is it possible to do so?
a <- 1:6
angle <- seq(0, 2*pi, (2*pi)/length(a))
x <- cos(angle)
y <- sin(angle)
plot(x, y,
type = "l")
See ?stars:
a <- 1:6
stars(matrix(a, nrow=1), scale=FALSE)
For future reference, using R's built-in help search would have found this with ??spider
I have two vectors representing x and y-coordinates in a scatter plot, and a thrid variable (z) for each (x,y)-coordinate representing the variable from which to draw contour lines. Example data are given as follows:
df<-data.frame(x=runif(n=30,min=-6,max=6),
y=runif(n=30,min=-6,max=10),
z=seq(1,100,length.out=30))
I use the R-package akima to generate the z-matrix for the contour plot
library(akima)
M1 <- interp(x=df$x,y=df$y,z=df$z)
contour(x=M1$x,y=M1$y,z=M1$z)
I now want to draw arrows perpendicular to the contourlines, preferably using something like the function "quiver" in the R-package pracma, with the origin of an arrow at every (x,y)-coordinate and with the arrow pointing in the direction of the gradient of the contourlines. Is there a way to do this?
My best idea so far is to somehow extract (x,y)-gradients of the contourlines and use these as velocities in the quiver function.
Grateful for any assistance.
The pracma package has a gradient function that can do this for you using the original M1$z values. For example, using your code to get M1 after set.seed(123):
contour(x=M1$x,y=M1$y,z=M1$z, asp = 1) # asp = 1 needed so things look perpendicular
library(pracma)
g <- gradient(M1$z, M1$x, M1$y)
x <- outer(M1$x, M1$y, function(x, y) x)
y <- outer(M1$x, M1$y, function(x, y) y)
quiver(x, y, g$Y, g$X, scale = 0.02, col = "blue")
Note that the gradient labels in the quiver plot have been swapped. Maybe I set up the x and y values transposed from the way the package expects. Here's what you get:
I'm working on some bioacoustical analysis and got stuck with an issue that I believe it can be worked out mathematically. I'll use an sound sample from seewavepackage:
library(seewave)
library(tuneR)
data(tico)
By storing a spectrogram (i.e. graphic representation of the sound wave tico) in an R object, we can now deal with the wave file computationally.
s <- spectro(tico, plot=F)
class(s)
>[1] "list"
length(s)
>[1] 3
The object created s consists in two numerical vectors x = s$time, y = s$freq representing the X and Y axis, respectively, and a matrix z = s$amp of amplitude values with the same dimensions of x and y. Z is a virtually a 3D matrix that can be plotted using persp3D (plot3D), plot_ly (plotly) or plot3d (rgl). Alternatively, the wave file can be plotted in 3D using seewave if one wishes to visualize it as an interative rgl plot.
spectro3D(tico)
That being said, the analysis I'm conducting aims to calculate contours of relative amplitude:
con <- contourLines(x=s$time, y=s$freq, z=t(s$amp), levels=seq(-25, -25, 1))
Select the longest contour:
n.con <- numeric(length(con))
for(i in 1:length(con)) n.con[i] <- length(con[[i]]$x)
n.max <- which.max(n.con)
con.max <- con[[n.max]]
And then plot the selected contour against the spectrogram of tico:
spectro(tico, grid=F, osc=F, scale=F)
polygon(x=con.max$x, y=con.max$y, lwd=2)
Now it comes the tricky part. I must find a way to "subset" the matrix of amplitude values s$amp using the coordinates of the longest contour con.max. What I aim to achieve is a new matrix containing only the amplitude values inside the polygon. The remaining parts of the spectrogram should then appear as blank spaces.
One approach I though it could work would be to create a loop that replaces every value outside the polygon for a given amplitude value (e.g. -25 dB). I once did an similar approach to remove the values below -30 dB and it worked out perfectly:
for(i in 1:length(s$amp)){if(s$amp[i] == -Inf |s$amp[i] <= -30)
{s$amp[i] <- -30}}
Another though would be to create a new matrix with the same dimensions of s$amp, subset s$amp using the coordinates of the contour, then replace the subset on the new matrix. Roughly:
mt <- matrix(-30, nrow=nrow(s$amp), ncol = ncol(s$amp))
sb <- s$amp[con.max$y, con.max$x]
new.mt <- c(mt, sb)
s$amp <- new.mt
I'll appreciate any help.
I have a regular grid in cylindrical co-ordinates (R, z, theta). At each grid point I have a value for the density at that point. I am looking for advice on how to interpolate the density values to get the value at a certain point within a 3D grid cell, using the values from the 8 grid points around it. Is there an R package that will make this simple?
I have tried to search for answers, but most seem to be related to the 'grid' plotting package.
e.g., some sample data:
R <- c(1,2,3)
z <- c(1,2,3)
th <- c(1,2,3)
dens <- array(rep(1, 3*3*3), dim=c(3, 3, 3))
dens[1,2,1] <- 2
How do I get the value of dens at (R,z,th) = (1.5,1.5,1.5) ?
I have a grid of rectangles, whose coordinates are stored in the variable say, 'gridPoints' as shown below:
gridData.Grid=GridTopology(c(min(data$LATITUDE),min(data$LONGITUDE)),c(0.005,0.005),c(32,32));
gridPoints = as.data.frame(coordinates(gridData.Grid))[1:1000,];
names(gridPoints) = c("LATITUDE","LONGITUDE");
plot(gridPoints,col=4);
points(data,col=2);
When plotted, these are the black points in the image,
Now, I have another data set of points called say , 'data', which when plotted are the blue points above.
I would want a count of how many blue points fall within each rectangle in the grid. Each rectangle can be represented by the center of the rectangle, along with the corresponding count of blue points within it in the output. Also, if the blue point lies on any of the sides of the rectangle, it can be considered as lying within the rectangle while making the count. The plot has the blue and black points looking like circles, but they are just standard points/coordinates and hence, much smaller than the circles. In a special case, the rectangle can also be a square.
Try this,
x <- seq(0,10,by=2)
y <- seq(0, 30, by=10)
grid <- expand.grid(x, y)
N <- 100
points <- cbind(runif(N, 0, 10), runif(N, 0, 30))
plot(grid, t="n", xaxs="i", yaxs="i")
points(points, col="blue", pch="+")
abline(v=x, h=y)
binxy <- data.frame(x=findInterval(points[,1], x),
y=findInterval(points[,2], y))
(results <- table(binxy))
d <- as.data.frame.table(results)
xx <- x[-length(x)] + 0.5*diff(x)
d$x <- xx[d$x]
yy <- y[-length(y)] + 0.5*diff(y)
d$y <- yy[d$y]
with(d, text(x, y, label=Freq))
A more general approach (may be overkill for this case, but if you generalize to arbitrary polygons it will still work) is to use the over function in the sp package. This will find which polygon each point is contained in (then you can count them up).
You will need to do some conversions up front (to spatial objects) but this method will work with more complicated polygons than rectangles.
If all the rectangles are exactly the same size, then you could use k nearest neighbor techniques using the centers of the rectangles, see the knn and knn1 functions in the class package.
