cart2polar: Transform Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates

Description

Transform ordered pair (x,y), where x and y denotes the directed distance between the point and each of two perpendicular lines, the x-axis and the y-axis, to polar coordinate. Input x and y must have the same length.

Usage

cart2polar(x, y)

Value

A data frame with 2 variables, where r is the directed distance from a point designed as the pole, and theta represents the angle, in radians, between the pole and the point.

Arguments

x

a vector of x-coordinates

y

a vector of y-coordinates

# Input in Cartesian coordinates
(x <- rep(1:3,each = 3))
(y <- rep(1:3,3))

# Data frame with polar coordinates
(polar <- cart2polar(x, y))
