plot.density.circular: Plot Method for Kernel Density Estimation for Circular Data

In circular: Circular Statistics

Description

The plot method for density.circular objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'density.circular'
plot(x, main=NULL, sub=NULL, xlab=NULL, ylab="Density circular", type="l",
  zero.line=TRUE, points.plot=FALSE, points.col=1, points.pch=1, 
  points.cex=1, plot.type=c("circle", "line"), axes=TRUE, ticks=FALSE, 
  bins=NULL, offset=1, shrink=1, tcl=0.025, tcl.text = 0.125, sep=0.025, tol=0.04, 
  digits=2, cex=1, uin=NULL, xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, join=FALSE, nosort=FALSE, 
  units=NULL, template=NULL, zero=NULL, rotation=NULL, 
  control.circle=circle.control(), ...)

Arguments

x	an object of class density.circular.
main, sub, xlab, ylab, type	plotting parameters with useful defaults.
zero.line	logical; if TRUE, add a base line at y = 0. Used when plot.type is "line".
points.plot	logical; if TRUE original data are added to the plot.
points.col, points.pch, points.cex	parameters used to draw the points.
plot.type	type of the plot: "line": linear plot, "circle": circular plot.
axes	logical; if TRUE axis are drawn.
ticks	logical; if TRUE ticks are drawn.
bins	number of ticks to plot.
offset	the radius of the circle
shrink	parameter that controls the size of the plotted function. Default is 1.
tcl	length of the ticks.
tcl.text	The position of the axis labels.
sep	constant used to specify the distance between stacked points. Default is 0.025; smaller values will create smaller spaces.
tol	proportion of white space at the margins of plot
digits	number of digits used to print axis values.
cex	point character size. See help on par.
uin	desired values for the units per inch parameter. If of length 1, the desired units per inch on the x axis.
xlim, ylim	the ranges to be encompassed by the x and y axes. Useful for centering the plot.
join	logical: should the first and the last point joined.
nosort	logical: should the data sort before plotting. Defaults is to sort.
units	units measure used in the plot. If NULL the value is taken from the attribute of object 'x' from the argument 'x', i.e. x$x.
template	template used in the plot. If NULL the value is taken from the attribute of object 'x' from the argument 'x', i.e. x$x.
zero	position of the zero used in the plot. If NULL the value is taken from the attribute of object 'x' from the argument 'x', i.e. x$x.
rotation	rotation used in the plot. If NULL the value is taken from the attribute of object 'x' from the argument 'x', i.e. x$x.
control.circle	parameters passed to plot.default in order to draw the circle. The function circle.control is used to set the parameters.
...	futher parameters passed to plot.default.

Value

A list with information on the plot: zero, rotation and next.points.

Examples

set.seed(1234)
x <- rvonmises(n=100, mu=circular(pi), kappa=2)
res25x <- density(x, bw=25)
plot(res25x, points.plot=TRUE, xlim=c(-1.5,1))
res50x <- density(x, bw=25, adjust=2)
lines(res50x, col=2)

resp25x <- plot(res25x, points.plot=TRUE, xlim=c(-1, 1.3), ylim=c(-1.5,1.2), 
  template="geographics", main="Plotting density estimate for two data set")
y <- rvonmises(n=100, mu=circular(pi/2), kappa=2, 
  control.circular=list(template="geographics"))
res25y <- density(y, bw=25)
lines(res25y, points.plot=TRUE, plot.info=resp25x, col=2, points.col=2)

plot(res25x, plot.type="line", points.plot=TRUE, xlim=c(-1, 1.3), ylim=c(-1.5,1.2), 
  template="geographics", main="Plotting density estimate for two data set")
