Convert Clock Coordinates to Cartesian Coordinates

Description

Converts clock coordinates (rho, phi) to cartesian coordinates (x, y).

Usage

clock2cart(rho, phi, circle)

Arguments

rho	Distance of point from center of coordinate system.
phi	Angle between North (12 o' clock), center and the point, measured clockwise.
circle	Defines the full circle in the units of phi.

Details

Be aware that in clock coordinates and polar coordinate the angle phi is differently defined!

Value

Data frame with

x, y	Cartesian coordinates.

## an easy way to plot a circle
xy <- clock2cart(rho=rep(1,33),phi=seq(0,to=360,length.out=33),circle=360)
plot(xy)
