The question R interpolated polar contour plot shows an excellent way to produce interpolated polar plots in R. I include the very slightly modified version I'm using:
PolarImageInterpolate <- function(
### Plotting data (in cartesian) - will be converted to polar space.
x, y, z,
### Plot component flags
contours=TRUE, # Add contours to the plotted surface
legend=TRUE, # Plot a surface data legend?
axes=TRUE, # Plot axes?
points=TRUE, # Plot individual data points
extrapolate=FALSE, # Should we extrapolate outside data points?
### Data splitting params for color scale and contours
col_breaks_source = 1, # Where to calculate the color brakes from (1=data,2=surface)
# If you know the levels, input directly (i.e. c(0,1))
col_levels = 10, # Number of color levels to use - must match length(col) if
#col specified separately
col = rev(heat.colors(col_levels)), # Colors to plot
# col = rev(heat.colors(col_levels)), # Colors to plot
contour_breaks_source = 1, # 1=z data, 2=calculated surface data
# If you know the levels, input directly (i.e. c(0,1))
contour_levels = col_levels+1, # One more contour break than col_levels (must be
# specified correctly if done manually
### Plotting params
outer.radius = ceiling(max(sqrt(x^2+y^2))),
circle.rads = pretty(c(0,outer.radius)), #Radius lines
spatial_res=1000, #Resolution of fitted surface
single_point_overlay=0, #Overlay "key" data point with square
#(0 = No, Other = number of pt)
### Fitting parameters
interp.type = 1, #1 = linear, 2 = Thin plate spline
lambda=0){ #Used only when interp.type = 2
minitics <- seq(-outer.radius, outer.radius, length.out = spatial_res)
# interpolate the data
if (interp.type ==1 ){
Interp <- akima:::interp(x = x, y = y, z = z,
extrap = extrapolate,
xo = minitics,
yo = minitics,
linear = FALSE)
Mat <- Interp[[3]]
}
else if (interp.type == 2){
library(fields)
grid.list = list(x=minitics,y=minitics)
t = Tps(cbind(x,y),z,lambda=lambda)
tmp = predict.surface(t,grid.list,extrap=extrapolate)
Mat = tmp$z
}
else {stop("interp.type value not valid")}
# mark cells outside circle as NA
markNA <- matrix(minitics, ncol = spatial_res, nrow = spatial_res)
Mat[!sqrt(markNA ^ 2 + t(markNA) ^ 2) < outer.radius] <- NA
### Set contour_breaks based on requested source

Unfortunately, this function has a few bugs:
a) Even with a purely radial pattern, the produced plot has a distortion whose origin I don't understand:
#example
r <- rep(seq(0.1, 0.9, len = 8), each = 8)
theta <- rep(seq(0, 7/4*pi, by = pi/4), times = 8)
x <- r*sin(theta)
y <- r*cos(theta)
z <- z <- rep(seq(0, 1, len = 8), each = 8)
PolarImageInterpolate(x, y, z)
why the wiggles between 300° and 360°? The z function is constant in theta, so there's no reason why there should be wiggles.
b) After 4 years, some of the packages loaded have been modified and at least one functionality of the function is broken. Setting interp.type = 2 should use thin plate splines for interpolation instead than a basic linear interpolation, but it doesn't work:
> PolarImageInterpolate(x, y, z, interp.type = 2)
Warning:
Grid searches over lambda (nugget and sill variances) with minima at the endpoints:
(GCV) Generalized Cross-Validation
minimum at right endpoint lambda = 9.493563e-06 (eff. df= 60.80002 )
predict.surface is now the function predictSurface
Error in image.default(x = minitics, y = minitics, Mat_plot, useRaster = TRUE, :
'z' must be a matrix
the first message is a warning and doesn't worry me, but the second one is actually an error and prevents me from using thin plate splines. Can you help me solve these two problems?
Also, I'd like to "upgrade" to using ggplot2, so if you can give an answer which does that, it would be great. Otherwise, after the bugs are fixed, I'll try asking a specific question which only asks to modify the function so that it uses ggplot2.
For the ggplot2 solution, here is a start. geom_raster allows interpolation, but does not work for polar coordinates. Instead, you can use geom_tile, though then you may need to do the interpolation yourself before passing the values to ggplot.
Of important note: the example data you gave gives an error when working with geom_raster that I believe is caused by the spacing of the values. Here is an example set that works (note, used this blog as a guide, though it is now outdated):
dat_grid <-
expand.grid(x = seq(0,350,10), y = 0:10)
dat_grid$density <- runif(nrow(dat_grid))
ggplot(dat_grid
, aes(x = x, y = y, fill = density)) +
geom_tile() +
coord_polar() +
scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(0,360,90)) +
scale_fill_gradient2(low = "white"
, mid = "yellow"
, high = "red3"
, midpoint = 0.5)
If you are working from raw data, you might be able to get ggplot to do the work for you. Here is an example working from raw data. There are a lot of manual tinkering things to do, but it is at least an optional starting point:
polarData <-
data.frame(
theta = runif(10000, 0, 2*pi)
, r = log(abs(rnorm(10000, 0, 10)))
)
toCart <-
data.frame(
x = polarData$r * cos(polarData$theta)
, y = polarData$r * sin(polarData$theta)
)
axisLines <-
data.frame(
x = 0
, y = 0
, xend = max(polarData$r)*cos(seq(0, 2*pi, pi/4))
, yend = max(polarData$r)*sin(seq(0, 2*pi, pi/4))
, angle = paste(seq(0, 2, 1/4), "pi") )
ticks <-
data.frame(
label = pretty(c(0, max(polarData$r)) )[-1]
)
ggplot(toCart) +
# geom_point(aes(x = x, y = y)) +
stat_density_2d(aes(x = x, y = y
, fill = ..level..)
, geom = "polygon") +
scale_fill_gradient(low = "white"
, high = "red3") +
theme(axis.text = element_blank()
, axis.title = element_blank()
, axis.line = element_blank()
, axis.ticks = element_blank()) +
geom_segment(data = axisLines
, aes(x = x, y = y
, xend = xend
, yend = yend)) +
geom_label(data = axisLines
, aes(x = xend, y = yend, label = angle)) +
geom_label(data = ticks
, aes(x = 0, y = label, label = label))
From an another post, I came to know that the fucnction predict.surface from package fields is deprecated whic is used for interp.type = 2 in PolarImageInterpolate. Instead, a new predictSurface function is introduced, which can be used here.
Example:
r <- rep(seq(0.1, 0.9, len = 8), each = 8)
theta <- rep(seq(0, 7/4*pi, by = pi/4), times = 8)
x <- r*sin(theta)
y <- r*cos(theta)
z <- z <- rep(seq(0, 1, len = 8), each = 8)
PolarImageInterpolate(x, y, z, interp.type = 2)
