Cartesian Coordinates

Computes cartesian coordinates.

Usage

coordinates_cartesian(x, y, z, ...)

# S4 method for numeric,numeric
coordinates_cartesian(x, y)

# S4 method for ANY,missing
coordinates_cartesian(x)

Arguments

x, y

A numeric vector giving the x and y ternary coordinates of a set of points. If y is missing, an attempt is made to interpret x in a suitable way (see grDevices::xy.coords()).

Examples

## Compositional data
coda <- data.frame(
  x = c(1, 0, 0, 1/3),
  y = c(0, 1, 0, 1/3),
  z = c(0, 0, 1, 1/3)
)

## Ternary coordinates
(tern <- coordinates_ternary(coda))
#> $x
#> [1] 0.0 1.0 0.5 0.5
#> 
#> $y
#> [1] 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.8660254 0.2886751
#> 

## Cartesian coordinates
(cart <- coordinates_cartesian(tern))
#> $x
