R Rose Plot
Data the data frame of summarised information used to make the plot.
R rose plot. Essentially i have created a histogram for orientation of these cells and now i want to plot that data on a circular graph to show x cell type is more oriented towards something than y cell type. We can also plot the data by month or year using ggplots faceting capability. Im very inexperienced with r or any type of coding but im trying to make a rose plot using the package circular for directional data from cells. And plot the plot itselfif retained eg.
As well as generating the plot itself windrose and pollutionrose also return an object of class openair. Pwr2 plotwindrosedata datain spd ws80 dir wd80 faceting by another variable. The first parts of this plot will plot a rectangular histogram only the coordpolar function wraps it into a wind rose. The traditional wind rose plot that plots wind speed and wind direction by different intervals.
The object includes three main components. Following todays announcement by ian fellows regarding the release of the new version of deducer 04 offering a strong support for ggplot2 using a gui plot builder ian also sent an e mail where he shows how to create a rose plot using the new ggplot2 gui included in the latest version of deducer. Initialise the plot pltdirrose ggplot since the plot background is blank well add a series of horizontal lines at 5000 count intervals up to 25000. One good use case for polar coordinates is when the data is naturally circular for example when it is a compass direction.
Here is an example of rose plots. Geomhlineyintercept seq0 25000 by 5000 colour. Using output windrosemydata this output can be used to recover the. As before i relied heavily on stack exchange and many other sites for figuring out how to get my plot looking the.
Call the command used to generate the plot. The pollution rose applies the same plot structure but substitutes other measurements most commonly a pollutant time series for wind speed. To make the plots more compatible with ggplot you can also pass in a data frame and the name of the speed and direction variables. Lakes environmental wrplot view is a fully operational wind rose freeware program for your meteorological data providing frequency analysis visual wind rose plots and generates wind rose statistics for several meteorological data formats.
This function appeals especially to environmental specialists who often have response variables which depend from cyclic variables like the direction of wind the hour of the day the month etc. Describes plot method for class rose details.
