convClock2Pos: Clock digits to text position and direction
In madlogos/aseskit: ASES Generic Toolkit

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Converts text postion from clock digits to vector (horizontal, vertical, direction). It was inspired by Stata, and will be useful when applying recharts functions.

convClock2Pos(pos, drop = TRUE, unname = TRUE, ...)

clock_to_pos(pos, drop = TRUE, unname = TRUE, ...)

`pos`	integer 0-25, clock digits.
`drop`	logical, whether coerce the result to vector when `pos` lengths 1. Default TRUE.
`unname`	logical, whether unname the result. Default TRUE.
`...`	other arguments

The function is designed to map clock digits to the 3*3 grids of the lyaout. The corresponding position vectors (horizontal, vertical, direction) to the clock integers are as follows.

0-12 referes to:

the favorable position definitions on the clock

	11(l, t, h)	12(c, t, h)	1(r, t, h)
10(l, t, v)				2(r, t, v)
9(l, c, v)		0(c, c, h)		3(r, c, v)
8(l, b, v)				4(r, b, v)
	7(l, b, h)	6(c, b, h)	5(r, b, h)

13-25 refers to:

the same position as 0-12, with the direction reverted

	23(l, t, v)	24(c, t, v)	13(r, t, v)
22(l, t, h)				14(r, t, h)
21(l, c, h)		25(c, c, v)		15(r, c, h)
20(l, b, h)				16(r, b, h)
	19(l, b, v)	18(c, b, v)	17(r, b, v)

To make it more intuitive, please check the charts below:
Note: "=" refers to horizontal direction, "||" refers to vertical direction.

A vector or 3-column matrix of horizontal (x-alignment), vertical (y-alignment) and direction (direction).
