circ.plot in CircStats under R 1.8.0 yields incorrect plots (easily

Could you supply a directly runnable example, please?

Actually, in making something concise and runnable I found the problem. It is undocumented that circ.plot does not handle negative angles while rose.diag does. I think that should be called a bug in circ,plot. It seems to me the code of these two should be merged anyway to avoid future errors. rose.diag can do a circ.plot type diagram (but you always get the rose as well).


So, a simple example is.

x<-rvm(100,1,1)
circ.plot(x, bins=18, stack=T, shrink=2)
rose.diag(x, bins=18, pts=T, shrink=2)
# everything should look OK up until you try comparing the next two plots
circ.plot(-x, bins=18, stack=T, shrink=2)
rose.diag(-x, bins=18, pts=T, shrink=2)
