ob_ellipse class — ob_ellipse • ggdiagram

Makes ellipses and superellipses

Usage

ob_ellipse(
  center = ob_point(0, 0),
  a = 1,
  b = a,
  angle = 0,
  m1 = numeric(0),
  m2 = numeric(0),
  label = character(0),
  alpha = numeric(0),
  color = character(0),
  fill = character(0),
  linewidth = numeric(0),
  linetype = numeric(0),
  n = numeric(0),
  style = class_missing,
  x0 = numeric(0),
  y0 = numeric(0),
  ...
)

Arguments

center: point at center of ellipse. Settable.
a: distance of semi-major axis. Settable.
b: distance of semi-minor axis. Settable.
angle: ellipse rotation. Settable.
m1: exponent of semi-major axis. Settable. Controls roundedness of superellipse
m2: exponent of semi-minor axis. Settable. By default equal to m1. If different, some functions may not work as expected (e.g., point_at).
label: A character, angle, or label object
alpha: numeric value for alpha transparency
color: character string for color
fill: character string for fill color
linewidth: Width of lines
linetype: type of lines
n: number of points in ellipse (default = 360). Settable.
style: gets and sets style parameters
x0: x-coordinate of center point. If specified, overrides x-coordinate of @center.
y0: x-coordinate of center point. If specified, overrides y-coordinate of @center.
...: <dynamic-dots> arguments passed to style object

Slots

length: Gets the number of ellipses
tibble: Gets a tibble (data.frame) containing parameters and styles used by ggforce::geom_ellipse.
geom: A function that converts the object to a geom. Any additional parameters are passed to ggforce::geom_ellipse.
normal_at: A function that finds a point perpendicular to the ellipse at angle theta at the specified distance. The definitional parameter is passed to the point_at function. If a point is supplied instead of an angle, the point is projected onto the ellipse and then the normal is calculated found from the projected point.
point_at: A function that finds a point on the ellipse at an angle theta. If definitional is FALSE (default), then theta is interpreted as an angle. If TRUE, then theta is the parameter in the definition of the ellipse in polar coordinates.
tangent_at: A function that finds a tangent line on the ellipse. Uses point_at to find the tangent point at angle theta and then returns the tangent line at that point. If a point is supplied instead of an angle, the point is projected onto the ellipse and then the tangent line is found from there.
