Base Plot

To avoid repetitive code, we make a base plot:


my_font <- "Roboto Condensed"
my_font_size <- 20
my_point_size <- 2
my_arrowhead <- arrowheadr::arrow_head_deltoid(2.1)

# my_colors <- viridis::viridis(2, begin = .25, end = .5)
my_colors <- c("#3B528B", "#21908C")

theme_set(
  theme_minimal(
    base_size = my_font_size,
    base_family = my_font) +
    theme(axis.title.y = element_text(angle = 0, vjust = 0.5)))

bp <- ggdiagram(
  font_family = my_font,
  font_size = my_font_size,
  point_size = my_point_size,
  linewidth = .5,
  theme_function = theme_minimal,
  axis.title.x =  element_text(face = "italic"),
  axis.title.y = element_text(
    face = "italic",
    angle = 0,
    hjust = .5,
    vjust = .5)) +
  scale_x_continuous(labels = WJSmisc::signs_centered,
                     limits = c(-4, 4)) +
  scale_y_continuous(labels = signs::signs,
                     limits = c(-4, 4))

Points have x and y coordinates.

p1 <- ob_point(1, 2, color = "firebrick")
p2 <- ob_point(3, 4, color = "royalblue3")

bp + 
  p1 + 
  p2

Polar Coordinates

A point’s x and y coordinates can be specified in polar coordinates

@r: The distance from the origin to the point (i.e., the vector’s magnitude)
@theta: The angle (in radians) from the line on the x-axis to the line containing the vector.

p2
#> <ob_point>
#> @ x: num 3
#> @ y: num 4
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, r, theta, style, tibble, xy,
#>              geom, label, aesthetics
p2@r
#> [1] 5
p2@theta
#> 0.3π

Code


bp +
  coord_equal(xlim = c(-p2@r, p2@r), 
              ylim = c(-p2@r, p2@r)) +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = -10:10, 
                     minor_breaks = NULL, 
                     labels = signs_centered) +
  scale_y_continuous(breaks = -10:10, 
                     minor_breaks = NULL, 
                     labels = signs::signs) +
  ob_circle(radius = p2@r) +
  p2@label(plot_point = TRUE, 
           size = 16,
           polar_just = ob_polar(p2@theta, r = 1.5)) +
  ob_segment(p1 = ob_point(), 
          p2 = p2, 
          label = ob_label(paste0("*r* = ", round(p2@r, 2)),
                           size = 16,
                           vjust = 0)) + 
   ob_arc(
     end = p2@theta,
     color = "royalblue3",
     label = ob_label(
       paste0("&theta; = ", 
              degree(p2@theta)),
       size = 16,
        color = "royalblue3"))

A point can be created with polar coordinates

ob_polar(r = 5, theta = degree(60))
#> <ob_polar>
#> @ x    : num 2.5
#> @ y    : num 4.33
#> @ r    : num 5
#> @ theta: <radian>
#>  @ radian: num 1.05
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, style, tibble, xy, geom, label,
#>              aesthetics

If the angle is numeric instead of an angle, it is assumed to be in radians.

ob_polar(r = 1, theta = pi)@theta
#> π

Convert to tibble

This will extract any styles that have been set.

get_tibble(ob_point(1,2, 
                 color = "red", 
                 shape = 16))
#> # A tibble: 1 × 4
#>       x     y color shape
#>   <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <dbl>
#> 1     1     2 red      16

As a convenience, the tibble associated with the point object can be accessed with the @tibble property.

ob_point(1:5,2, 
      color = "blue", 
      shape = 1:5)@tibble
#> # A tibble: 5 × 4
#>       x     y color shape
#>   <int> <dbl> <chr> <int>
#> 1     1     2 blue      1
#> 2     2     2 blue      2
#> 3     3     2 blue      3
#> 4     4     2 blue      4
#> 5     5     2 blue      5

Methods

Arithmetic

Points can be added and subtracted:

p1 <- ob_point(2, 3)
p2 <- ob_point(2, 1)
p3 <- p1 + p2
p3
#> <ob_point>
#> @ x: num 4
#> @ y: num 4
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, r, theta, style, tibble, xy,
#>              geom, label, aesthetics
p3 - p2
#> <ob_point>
#> @ x: num 2
#> @ y: num 3
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, r, theta, style, tibble, xy,
#>              geom, label, aesthetics

Points can be scaled with constants

p2 * 2
#> <ob_point>
#> @ x: num 4
#> @ y: num 2
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, r, theta, style, tibble, xy,
#>              geom, label, aesthetics
p3 / 4
#> <ob_point>
#> @ x: num 1
#> @ y: num 1
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, r, theta, style, tibble, xy,
#>              geom, label, aesthetics

The x and y coordinates can be scaled separately with other points:

p1 / p3
#> <ob_point>
#> @ x: num 0.5
#> @ y: num 0.75
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, r, theta, style, tibble, xy,
#>              geom, label, aesthetics
p1 * p3
#> <ob_point>
#> @ x: num 8
#> @ y: num 12
#> Other props: alpha, color, fill, shape, size, stroke, auto_label,
#>              bounding_box, length, r, theta, style, tibble, xy,
#>              geom, label, aesthetics

Distance

The distance between two points:

distance(p1, p2)
#> [1] 2

The shortest distance from a point to a line:

l1 <- ob_line(slope = 1, 
           intercept = 2)
distance(p1, l1)
#> [1] 0.7071068

The shortest distance from a point to a circle’s edge:

c1 <- ob_circle(center = ob_point(2, 2), radius = 2)
p1 <- c1@center + ob_polar(
  r = c1@radius * 1, 
  theta = degree(115), 
  color = "royalblue3")

p2 <- c1@center + ob_polar(
  r = c1@radius * 2, 
  theta = degree(45), 
  color = "firebrick4")

p3 <- c1@center + ob_polar(
  r = c1@radius * .3, 
  theta = degree(190), 
  color = "orchid4")


# p1 is on circle, so its distance is 0
distance(p1, c1)
#> [1] 0
# p2 is outside the circle
distance(p2, c1)
#> [1] 2
# p3 is inside the circle
distance(p3, c1)
#> [1] 1.4

intersect_c1_p2 <- c1@point_at((p2 - c1@center)@theta)

Convert points to geoms

The as.geom function is called implicitly whenever a point object is added to a ggplot.

pts <- ob_point(x = c(3,2), 
             y = c(4,3), 
             color = c("red", "blue"),
             size = c(3, 6))

ggplot() + 
  pts

This is equivalent to

ggplot() +
  as.geom(pts)

And this is equivalent to

ggplot() +
  geom_point(
    aes(
      x,
      y,
      color = I(color),
      size = I(size)), 
    data = get_tibble_defaults(pts))

That is, any style information that can be mapped will be handled via the I (identity) function in the mapping statement (aes).

Calling the as.geom function directly is useful for overriding any style information in the points.

ggplot() + 
  as.geom(pts, 
          stroke = 1.5,
          fill = "yellow", 
          shape = "triangle filled")

This is equivalent to

ggplot() +
  geom_point(
    aes(x = x, 
        y = y, 
        size = I(size), 
        color = I(color)),
    stroke = 1.5,
    fill = "yellow",
    shape = "triangle filled",
    data = pts@tibble
  )

Bounding box

It is possible to find the rectangle that bounds all the points in an ob_point object

bp + 
  {pts <- ob_point(x = 1:4,
                y = c(3,3,4, 2))} + 
  pts@bounding_box
