solve_theta_from_spiral_length: Get theta from given spiral lengths

In spiralize: Visualize Data on Spirals

Get theta from given spiral lengths

Description

Get theta from given spiral lengths

Usage

solve_theta_from_spiral_length(len, interval = NULL, offset = 0)

Arguments

len	A vector of spiral lengths.
interval	Interval to search for the solution.
offset	Offset of the spiral. In the general form: r = a + r*theta, offset is the value of a.

Details

The length of the spiral has a complicated form, see https://downloads.imagej.net/fiji/snapshots/arc_length.pdf. Let's say the form is l = f(theta) where f() is the complex equation for calculating l, solve_theta_from_spiral_length() tries to find theta with a known l. It uses stats::uniroot() to search for the solutions.

Value

The theta value.

Examples

spiral_initialize()
s = current_spiral()
theta = pi*seq(2, 3, length = 10)
theta
len = s$spiral_length(theta)
solve_theta_from_spiral_length(len) # should be very similar as theta
