PackCircles: PackCircles

In Blakemassey/gisr: Functions for Spatial Data Manipulation and Plotting

Description

Simple circle packing algorithm based on inverse size weighted repulsion

Usage

PackCircles(config, extent, edge_buffered, max_iter, overlap)

Arguments

config	matrix with two cols: radius, n
extent	extent of bounding rectangle: c(x_min, x_max, y_min,y_max). Default is (0, 10000, 0, 10000).
edge_buffer	distance from edge of extent that circle center's must be placed
max_iter	maximum number of iterations to try
overlap	allowable overlap expressed as proportion of joint radii
plot	logical, whether or not to draw a plot

Details

Original code from: http://www.r-bloggers.com/circle-packing-with-r Slight modifications were made for code consistency and additional functionality.

Value

A dataframe of points
