getXY
is an interactive function which returns
the locations of points on a plot selected using the
mouse (left click to select points; right click and
stop to end point collection; escape to abort without
returning any values).
It is a wrapper for the grid
function
grid.locator
that behaves more like
locator
, the equivalent function intended
for use with plot
outputs.
By default getXY
selections are not automatically
marked. Adding common plot parameters to the function
call overrides this behaviour, e.g. to add red symbols
and lines.
ans <- getXY(col = "red", pch = 4, type = "b")
getXY
also provides a mechanism to handle data plotted on
locally scaled axes. See Note below.
getLatLon
is wrapper for getXY
for use
with loaMapPlot
and other similarly
georeferenced plots. See Note below.
getXY
returns the x and y coordinates of
the selected points on a plot as a list containing two
components, x
and y
.
getLatLon
returns the latitude and longitude
values of the selected points on a map as a list
containing two components, lat
and lon
.
getXY
recovers the (x, y) coordinates of points selected
on a previously generated plot.
Some plots, use local scaling. For example, when plotting latitude, longitude data on a map a scale correction may be used to account for the curvature of the Earth. Similarly, if different data series are plotted on primary and secondary axes in a single plot, some or all data may be normalised. In such cases scaling may be local, i.e. what you actually plot may not be exactly what the annotation says it is.
Using getXY
on such plots would recover the actual (x, y)
coordinates of the points selected.
However, corrections can be applied using scale.correction
,
if it is supplied, to convert these to the same scale as the axes
annotation. The correction should be a function that can be
applied directly to a standard getXY
output (a list of
x
and y
values) and rescale x and y to give
their 'corrected' values.
getLatLon
provides an example of the mechanism, and is
for use with georeferenced plots that have been locally scaled
using LatLon2MercatorXY
. getLatLon
uses
MercatorXY2LatLon
to rescale x
and y
values and then as...
functions to convert the outputs of
this step to a list format like that generated by locator
,
grid.locator
or getXY
.
