Rotate axes

Description

Rotate axes

Usage

rotateAxes(x, y, angle, inverse = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector of the x-component value(s)
y	a numeric vector of the y-component value(s)
angle	rotation angle in degrees
inverse	logical value indicating whether or not to do inverse transformation, default is FALSE.

Details

This function rotates points in a x-y Cartesian coordinate system. Setting inverse = TRUE is effectively the same as multiplying the provided angle by -1, so for example, providing parameters angle = 50 and inverse = TRUE would give the same results providing parameters angle = -50 and inverse = FALSE.

Value

list of rotated x and y components as X and Y.
