I have made a ggplot using some A and B numeric values. (If possible can you give me the solution for grid too?)
Such as:
A B
2 3
3 7
4 8
5 9
6 2
7 1
Now from the points, lets say A1 and A2 as shown in diagram, I want to measure the angle and the distance covered from each point.
I know how to calculate the distance (via euclidean distance formula) from one point and for angle it can be calculated as cross and dot product of the vectors. But I am facing the problem to code this and to represent it.
Can you help?
Okay, here is a first pass - doing it in grid
. This could be done in ggplot2
too I imagine, but I want to learn grid for now since ggplot2 and lattice are based on it. This plot has some issues, for example the angle of the annotation text really has to be calculated in device coordinates, not native coordinates, so it only looks right if your grid squares are really square. I might fix that later, but I don't have time now. Also I would think I could specify the defaults so that each primitive doesn't have that default.units
parameter. This should get you started though.
library(grid)
grid.newpage()
df <- data.frame(a=c(2,3,4,5,6,7),b=c(3,7,8,9,2,1))
vp <- viewport(x=0.5,y=0.5,width=0.999,height=0.999,xscale=c(0,1),yscale=c(0,1))
pushViewport(vp)
# a rectangle (with dashed lines) on the border of the viewport:
grid.rect(gp=gpar(lty="dashed",col="steelblue"))
vp <- viewport(x=0.5,y=0.5,width=0.9,height=0.9,xscale=c(0,8),yscale=c(0,10),
default.units="native")
pushViewport(vp)
#draw the background grid
grid.polyline(x=rep(0:8,each=2),y=rep(c(0,10),9),id=rep(1:9,each=2),
gp=gpar(lty="solid",col="gray"),default.units="native")
grid.polyline(x=rep(c(0,8),11),y=rep(0:10,each=2),id=rep(1:11,each=2),
gp=gpar(lty="solid",col="gray"),default.units="native")
# add the lables
grid.text(as.character(0:8),x=0:8,y=rep(-0.2,9),
gp=gpar(col="gray",fontsize=12),default.units="native")
grid.text(as.character(0:10),y=0:10,x=rep(-0.2,11),
gp=gpar(col="gray",fontsize=12),default.units="native")
grid.lines(x=df$a,y=df$b,gp=gpar(col="steelblue"),default.units="native")
grid.points(x=df$a,y=df$b,gp=gpar(col="steelblue"),default.units="native")
for (i in 1:(nrow(df)-1)){
x0 <- df$a[i]
y0 <- df$b[i]
x1 <- df$a[i+1]
y1 <- df$b[i+1]
dx <- x1-x0
dy <- y1-y0
dist <- sqrt( dx^2 + dy^2 )
ang <- (180/3.14159)*atan2(dy,dx)
txt <- sprintf("D: %.1f Ang:%.1f",dist,ang)
xt <- (x0+x1)/2
yt <- (y0+y1)/2 + 0.2*abs(dy/dx)
grid.text(txt,x=xt,y=yt,rot=ang,
gp=gpar(col="steelblue",fontsize=9),default.units="native")
}
It sounds easier to calculate those angles and distances outside the plot,
library(dplyr)
d <- data.frame(x=c(2,3,4,5,6,7),
y=c(3,7,8,9,2,1))
d2 <- with(d, data.frame(dx=diff(x), dy=diff(y)))
d2 <- mutate(d2, distance = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2),
angle = atan2(dy, dx))
ann <- mutate(cbind(d[-nrow(d),], d2),
x=x+dx/2, y=y+dy/2,
label = sprintf("%.2f\n %2.f degrees",
distance, angle*180/pi))
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(d, aes(x,y)) + geom_line() +
geom_text(data = ann, vjust = 0,
aes(x, y, label=label, angle=angle*180/pi)) +
coord_equal()
