utils_shapes: Utilities for drawing coordinates of known shapes

Description

The functions computes the coordinates of common shapes such as squares triangles, rectangles and circles.

• draw_circle() Draws a perfect circle with a desired radius.

• draw_square() Draws a square with a desired side.

• draw_rectangle() Draws a rectangle given two desired sides.

• draw_trian_equi() Draws an equilateral triangle with a desired side.

• draw_trian_rect() Draws a triangle rectangle given two cathetus.

• draw_n_tagon() Draws polygons with n sides

Usage

draw_circle(radius = 1, n = 1000, plot = TRUE)
draw_square(side = 2, plot = TRUE)
draw_rectangle(side1 = 2, side2 = 3, plot = TRUE)
draw_trian_equi(side = 2, plot = TRUE)
draw_trian_rect(cat1 = 1, cat2 = 2, plot = TRUE)
draw_n_tagon(n, plot = TRUE)

Value

A data frame with the x and y coordinates

Arguments

radius

The radius of the circle. Defaults to 1.

n

The number of sides in the n-tagon.

plot

Plots the result? Defaults to TRUE.

side

The side of the square/equilateral triangle. Defaults to 2.

side1, side2

The first and second sides of the rectangle. Defaults to 2 and 3, respectively.

cat1, cat2

The first and second cathetus of the right triangle. Defaults to 1, and 2, respectively.

Examples

########## An example of a circle ##########
library(pliman)
radius <- 3
circ <- draw_circle(radius = radius)

# area
pi * radius ^ 2
poly_area(circ)

# perimeter
2 * pi * radius
poly_perimeter(circ)

############ An example of a square ############
side <- 2
(square <- draw_square(side = side))

# area
side ^ 2
poly_area(square)

# perimeter
side * 4
poly_perimeter(square)

############ An example of a rectangle ############
side1 <- 2
side2 <- 3
(rect <- draw_rectangle())

# area
poly_area(rect)

# perimeter
poly_perimeter(rect)
###########  An example of an equilateral triangle #########
side <- 1 # defaults
(trig <- draw_trian_equi(side = side))

### area (b*h / 2)
# height of the triangle
(h <- (side * sqrt(3)) / 2)
side * h / 2

poly_area(trig)

### perimeter (side * 3)
poly_perimeter(trig)

########### An example of a rectangle triangle ##########
cat1 <- 2
cat2 <- 3
(df <- draw_trian_rect(cat1, cat2))
# area
(cat1 * cat2) / 2
poly_area(df)

# perimeter
cat1 + cat2 + sqrt(cat1^2 + cat2^2)
poly_perimeter(df)
############ An creating shapes with n sides ############
side <- 2
(square <- draw_square(side = side))

# area
side ^ 2
poly_area(square)

# perimeter
side * 4
poly_perimeter(square)
