cart2pol: Transform cartesian coordinates to polar

In abarbour/deform: Crustal Deformation Modeling Tools in R

Transform cartesian coordinates to polar

Description

Transform cartesian coordinates to polar

Usage

cart2pol(
  x,
  y,
  z = NULL,
  dist.type = c("euclidean", "manhattan"),
  radians = TRUE
)

Arguments

x	numeric vector, or numeric matrix (see y)
y	numeric vector; if missing, then x must have at least two columns: the first to represent x and the second to represent y
z	numeric vector
dist.type	character; the type of distance calculation
radians	logical; should the output angle be in radians? (FALSE returns in degrees)

modified from function in beadarrayMSV

Examples

cart2pol(1:10, 1:10)
all.equal(cart2pol(1:10, 1:10), cart2pol(cbind(1:10, 1:10)))

# Change radius computation
cart2pol(1:10, 1:10, 1:10) # assumes 'euclidean'
cart2pol(1:10, 1:10, 1:10, 'manhattan')

# use degrees
cart2pol(1:10, 1:10, radians=FALSE)
