I am trying to create a half polar coordinates figure plot in R using ggplot2, somewhat similar to http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27230-half-polar-coordinates-figure-plot-function-halfpolar in MATLAB.
The values in my dataset range from -90 to 90 degrees, and I would like the half polar plot to range from -90 to 90 degrees.
I have tried to create a "full" polar plot, followed by cropping the image. However, I would then have to reorient every single label, since my desired range is on the bottom half of the plot.
Code I used to get the full polar plot:
ggplot(dataset, aes(x=V1))+
geom_histogram(binwidth=5, origin=-2.5, colour="blue", size=0.25)+
coord_polar()+
scale_x_continuous(limits=c(-180,180), breaks=seq(-180,180, by=10),
minor_breaks=seq(-180,180, by=2.5))
Here is a mock dataset created by runif:
V1 <- c(-11.3438825588673,2.51569095999002, 7.56844081915915,20.0369969941676,22.4103817017749,32.2332751471549, 47.9410658357665,-15.8775348449126,-7.69269382581115,9.54788790550083, 27.5170193053782,5.08095151744783,-7.74303053040057,24.6316244825721, -41.1148839630187,-17.9084718693048,-34.4687476754189,48.4857349423692, -14.2394224880263,-0.372639088891447)
dataset <- data.frame(V1)
Any help would be much appreciated!
