use of tapply?
[tom wright]
I'm still learning how to program with R and I was hoping someone could take the time to show me how I can rewrite this code?
I'll try! :-)
data.intersects<-data.frame(
x=c(0.230,0.411,0.477,0.241,0.552,0.230),
y=c(0.119,0.515,0.261,0.431,0.304,0.389),
angle=vector(length=6),
length=vector(length=6),
row.names=c('tbr','trg','dbr','dbg','pbr','pbg'))
calcDist<-function(x,y){
#calcualates distance from origin (C)
origin<-data.frame(x=0.34,y=0.36)
dx<-origin$x-x
dy<-origin$y-y
length<-sqrt(dx^2+dy^2)
angle<-asin(dy/length)
return(list('length'=length,'angle'=angle))
}
for(iLoc in 1:length(data.intersects[,1])){
result<-calcDist(data.intersects[iLoc,]$x,data.intersects[iLoc,]$y)
data.intersects[iLoc,]$angle<-result$angle
data.intersects[iLoc,]$length<-result$length
}
Using `di' instead of `data.intersects' for short:
di <- data.frame(x=c(0.230, 0.411, 0.477, 0.241, 0.552, 0.230),
y=c(0.119, 0.515, 0.261, 0.431, 0.304, 0.389),
row.names=c('tbr', 'trg', 'dbr', 'dbg', 'pbr', 'pbg'))
di.c <- with(di, data.frame(x=x-0.34, y=y-0.36))
di$length <- with(di.c, sqrt(x^2 + y^2))
di$angle <- with(di.c, atan2(y, x))
