fisheyeR (version 0.9)

POICalc: Function to generate coordinates points to plot using POIs

Description

POICalc Points Of Interest (POI) allows for the exploration of multidimensional data, by representing information according to its similarity with every POI defined for the set.

Usage

POICalc(objeto, NC, cx = 0, cy = 0, r = 1, ...)

Arguments

objeto

Object of class POI

NC

Number of POI (points of interest as proposed by Costa and Venturini. See references.

cx

x coordinates

cy

x coordinates

r

Plot Radius

...

further arguments

Value

Pcoords

Matrix with POIs coordinates

PcoordsFI

Matrix with POIs coordinates with fisheye effect applied.

newPcoords

Matrix with coordinates for the lines joining POIs

objeto

Matrix with coordinates for elements in the main set.

Details

POIs are located on a circle, and data are displayed within this circle according to their similarities to these POI. Interactive actions are possible: selection, zoom, dynamical change of POI.
