radial.plot.labels: Display labels on a circular grid

In plotrix: Various Plotting Functions

Display labels on a circular grid

Description

‘⁠radial.plot.labels⁠’ displays a labels on a circular plot produced by one of the radial.plot family of functions.

Usage

 radial.plot.labels(lengths,radial.pos=NULL,units="radians",radial.lim=NULL,
  start=0,clockwise=FALSE,labels,adj=NULL,pos=NULL,boxed.labels=FALSE,...)

Arguments

lengths	numeric data vector. Magnitudes will be represented as the radial positions of symbols, line ends or polygon vertices.
radial.pos	numeric vector of radial positions. These will be converted to radians if the ‘⁠units⁠’ argument is not "radians".
units	The units of ‘⁠radial.pos⁠’ may be degrees or 24 hour clock positions. If ‘⁠units⁠’ is "polar" or "clock24" respectively, the values of radial.pos will be converted into radians.
radial.lim	Optional radial limits for the circular plot. These must be the same as the radial limits of the original plot.
start	The zero position on the plot in the units of ‘⁠radial.pos⁠’.
clockwise	Whether to increase angles clockwise rather than the default counterclockwise.
labels	text labels to display on the plot.
adj	Text justification as in the ‘⁠text⁠’ function.
pos	Text position as in the ‘⁠text⁠’ function.
boxed.labels	Whether to use ‘⁠boxed.labels⁠’ or ‘⁠text⁠’.
...	additional arguments passed to ‘⁠boxed.labels⁠’ or ‘⁠text⁠’.

Details

Don't confuse this function with the ‘⁠radial.labels⁠’ argument in the radial.plot function. This labels the values rather than the grid.

Value

nil

Examples

 testlen<-c(rnorm(10)*2+5)
 # do the labels in clock24 units
 testpos<-c(6.74,8.3,10.55,12.33,13.75,15.9,17.15,19.36,21.02,23.27)
 oldpar<-clock24.plot(testlen,testpos,main="Test radial.plot.labels",
  rp.type="s",point.symbols=3,point.col="green")
 radial.plot.labels(testlen,testpos,units="clock24",labels=LETTERS[1:10],
  pos=3,col="red")
 testangle<-c(25,42,67,94,128,173,191,234,268,307)
 # now a polar plot
 polar.plot(testlen,testangle,main="Test radial.plot.labels",rp.type="p",
  poly.col="green")
 radial.plot.labels(testlen,testangle,units="polar",labels=LETTERS[1:10])
 # reset par
 par(oldpar)
