In Pursuit: Projection Pursuit

Animation technique Grand Tour.

Description

Performs the exploration of the data through the technique of animation Grand Tour.

Usage

GrandTour(data, method = "Interpolation", title = NA, xlabel = NA, 
          ylabel = NA, size = 1.1, grid = TRUE, color = TRUE, linlab = NA, 
          class = NA, classcolor = NA, posleg = 2, boxleg = TRUE,  
          axesvar = TRUE, axes = TRUE, numrot = 200, choicerot = NA, 
          savptc = FALSE, width = 3236, height = 2000, res = 300)

Arguments

data	Numerical data set.
method	Method used for rotations: "Interpolation" - Interpolation method (default), "Torus" - Torus method, "Pseudo" - Pseudo Grand Tour method.
title	Titles of the graphics, if not set, assumes the default text.
xlabel	Names the X axis, if not set, assumes the default text.
ylabel	Names the Y axis, if not set, assumes the default text.
size	Size of the points in the graphs.
grid	Put grid on graphs (default = TRUE).
color	Colored graphics (default = TRUE).
linlab	Vector with the labels for the observations.
class	Vector with names of data classes.
classcolor	Vector with the colors of the classes.
posleg	0 with no caption, 1 for caption in the left upper corner, 2 for caption in the right upper corner (default), 3 for caption in the right lower corner, 4 for caption in the left lower corner.
boxleg	Puts the frame in the caption (default = TRUE).
axesvar	Puts axes of rotation of the variables (default = TRUE).
axes	Plots the X and Y axes (default = TRUE).
numrot	Number of rotations (default = 200). If method = "Interpolation", numrot represents the angle of rotation.
choicerot	Choose specific rotation and display on the screen, or save the image if savptc = TRUE.
savptc	Saves graphics images to files (default = FALSE).
width	Graphics images width when savptc = TRUE (defaul = 3236).
height	Graphics images height when savptc = TRUE (default = 2000).
res	Nominal resolution in ppi of the graphics images when savptc = TRUE (default = 300).

Value

Graphs with rotations.

proj.data	Projected data.
vector.opt	Vector projection.
method	method used on Grand Tour.
