Contour plot with 90 degree angles - r

I have a matrix, say cmat <- matrix(c(0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1),3,3) and I would like to plot the exact contours of the "region" with containing ones.
When using a contourplot(cmat) what I get is lines that define a sort of "smoothed" contour rather than following exactly the tiles. What I would like is a graph made only out of vertical and horizontal lines.
Does anyone know a function performing that?
Thanks in advance,
Renzu

How to combine multiple 2D R plots into a single 3D plot

I am trying to stack multiple 2d plots into a single 3d plot in R.
For example, I want to try and put these plots
into a single 3d image. The z axis would be the biomass density, y axis be the size and the x axis be the time step (and then hopefully I could use a surface plot to join up all the lines). My aim is to try and show the wave travelling through the size over a long period of time instead of showing lots of images.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Area of polygon in ordiellipse is NaN - why?

I'm trying to add ellipses onto my NMDS plot created with Vegan package on R, but although the code goes through without an error, no polygons get drawn onto my graph. After using the summary() function, I found that the area of the polygon is NaN, hence why no polygons get drawn. I'm not sure why I don't have an area - is it something to do with my data?
My data can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uxWbKAvhdVqnorIMXURvYLrDZuoqejJpUsc9N6wSDxA/edit?usp=sharing
Three transects were done in three types of habitat - Interior forest, edge of the forest and disturbed habitat. Each dragonfly and damselfly seen was counted.
My R code is as follows:
OdonateNMDSdata <- read.csv(file.choose(), header=TRUE)
Odonaterownames <- row.names(OdonateNMDSdata) <- c("Interior", "Edge", "Disturbed")
library(vegan)
OdonateNMDS <- metaMDS(OdonateNMDSdata, k=2)
ordiplot(OdonateNMDS,type="n")
orditorp(OdonateNMDS,display="species",col="red",air=0.01)
orditorp(OdonateNMDS,display="sites",cex=1.25,air=0.01)
Ellipse <- ordiellipse(OdonateNMDS, groups=Odonaterownames, kind = "ehull", draw="polygon", col="blue", cex=0.7, conf=0.95)
summary(Ellipse)
Thanks
You have three points, and you want to draw three ellipses, one for each point. You need more than one point for each ellipse (and even for two points the enclosing ellipse would be a line connecting the points).
However, it seems that with enclosing ellipse (kind = "ehull") we give NaN as the area of one-point-ellipse, whereas with other kinds we give the area as 0 for one point. I'll change that.

How to add Voronoi diagramm?

I would like to add a Voronoi plot to my clusters. That is, I would like to have one plot with my clusters, centroids + the Voronoi regions. Is there a simple way to do it?
I tried:
x<-c(4,7,9,2,3,3,7,7,8,8,9,9)
y<-c(6,3,3,6,5,7,2,9,4,9,2,8)
mat<-cbind(x,y)# defining matrix
Kmeans<-kmeans(mat,centers=3) # with 3 centroids
plot(x,y,col=Kmeans$cluster,pch=19,cex=2)
points(Kmeans$centers,col=1:3,pch=3,cex=3,lwd=3)
library(tripack)
test<-voronoi.mosaic(x,y)
plot(x,y,col=Kmeans$cluster,pch=19,cex=2)
plot(test)
Here I just dont know how to combine them to produce a reasonable plot.
You mean just plot one on top of the other?
You are using the voronoi.mosaic on x and y and not on the clusters. I don't know how this will help you but to plot one on top of the other you need to do the following:
library(tripack)
x<-c(4,7,9,2,3,3,7,7,8,8,9,9)
y<-c(6,3,3,6,5,7,2,9,4,9,2,8)
mat<-cbind(x,y)# defining matrix
Kmeans<-kmeans(mat,centers=3) # with 3 centroids
test<-voronoi.mosaic(x,y)
plot(x,y,col=Kmeans$cluster,pch=19,cex=2)
points(Kmeans$centers,col=1:3,pch=3,cex=3,lwd=3)
par(new=T)
plot(test)
Initially, I thought you wanted to plot the clusters and the centroids and I did something completely different. You can check that too in the edits.

GraphPad Mann Whitney scatter plot in R

I try to make a plot similar to the top three plot of this:
I found a partial answer here, however I am unsure how to add the p-values in the scatter-plot.
Any tips?
You've already got a partial answer. If you just want to know how to put p-values on then use text. (looking at graph C).
text(x = 1.5, y = 73, 'p = 0.03')
If you want the p-values and the lines underneath, assuming you also want those caps on the lines, use arrows instead of segments.
arrows(1, 70, 2, length = 2, angle = 90, code = 3)
If you're sticking with solving this in base R that's a great learning exercise and can give you full control over your plot. However, if you just want to get it done I'd suggest the beeswarm package (you're making beeswarm plots).
As an aside, this prompted me to investigate why you get those upward curving lines in beeswarm plots. It's a consequence of the typical algorithm. The line curves upward because the positions are calculated through increasing y-values. If the next y-value is so close that the points would overlap in the y-axis it's plotted at an angle off the x position. Many points close together on Y results in upward curving lines until you get far enough along Y to go back to X. Smaller points should alleviate that. Also, the beeswarm package in R has several optional algorithms that avoid that as well.

Plotting lines between two points in 3D

I am writing an regression algorithm which tries to "capture" points inside boxes. The algorithm tries to keep the boxes as small as possible, so usually the edges/corners of the boxes go through points, which determines the size of the box.
Problem: I need graphical output of the boxes in R. In 2D it is easy to draw boxes with segments(), which draws a line between two points. So, with 4 segments I can draw a box:
plot(x,y,type="p")
segments(x1,y1,x2,y2)
I then tried both the scatterplot3d and plot3d package for 3D plotting. In 3D the segments() command is not working, as there is no additional z-component. I was surprised that apparently (to me) there is no adequate replacement in 3D for segments()
Is there an easy way to draw boxes / lines between two points when plotting in three dimensions ?
The scatterplot3d function returns information that will allow you to project (x,y,z) points into the relevant plane, as follows:
library(scatterplot3d)
x <- c(1,4,3,6,2,5)
y <- c(2,2,4,3,5,9)
z <- c(1,3,5,9,2,2)
s <- scatterplot3d(x,y,z)
## now draw a line between points 2 and 3
p2 <- s$xyz.convert(x[2],y[2],z[2])
p3 <- s$xyz.convert(x[3],y[3],z[3])
segments(p2$x,p2$y,p3$x,p3$y,lwd=2,col=2)
The rgl package is another way to go, and perhaps even easier (note that segments3d takes points in pairs from a vector)
plot3d(x,y,z)
segments3d(x[2:3],y[2:3],z[2:3],col=2,lwd=2)
