Scale coordinate variable pairs

Description

Scales coordinate variable pairs in a data.frame by multiplying them with a scale factor.

Usage

scale_coords_df(
  df,
  scale_fct = 1,
  coord_vars = list(pair1 = c("x", "y"), pair2 = c("xend", "yend"), pair3 = c("col",
    "row"), pair4 = c("imagecol", "imagerow")),
  verbose = FALSE,
  error = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

`df`	Data.frame with numeric coordinate variable pairs.
`scale_fct`	Numeric value bigger than 0. If used within `flipImage()` must range between 0 and 1. If only applied to spatial aspects that base on coordinates, can be bigger than 1.
`coord_vars`	Input that denotes the variable pairs. Can be a vector of length two. Or a list of vectors of length two. First element in vector sets name for the x-axis, second value sets name for the y axis. If a list is provided, each slot is checked and invalid slots are removed from the iteration.
`verbose`	Logical. If `TRUE`, informative messages regarding the computational progress will be printed. (Warning messages will always be printed.)
`error`	Logical. If `TRUE` and the input is invalid the function throws an error.
`...`	Additional arguments given to `give_feedback()`.

Details

Usually a data.frame that contains variables that refer to x- and y-coordinates has one single pair of these. E.g. one variable named x and one variable named y. If so, coord_vars = c("x", "y") or ⁠coord_vars = list(pair1 = c("x", "y")⁠ is appropriate (naming the list is not necessary). If the data.frame contains several variables that refer to the same axes but in different scales they can be adjusted altogether. E.g. a data.frame that contains variable pair x and y as well as col and row needs ⁠coord_vars = list(pair1 = c("x", "y"), pair2 = c("col", "row")⁠. For a pair to be adjusted both variables must be found, else the adjustment is skipped and the function gives feedback if verbose = TRUE or throws an error if error = TRUE. Default sets both to FALSE which results in silent skipping.
