Hi,

Please, could you tell me if is there a R package that allow to draw
spherical quadrants?

The value of each point of the quadrant has to represent the power
generated by a kite on that point tied to a line located in the center
of the quadrant.


Hi Ricardo,
You may find that the radial.plot function in the plotrix package will 
do what you want. I think you are looking at the polygon type of plot.

Thanks, Jim!

It seems to me that I've a lot of things to learn only from plotrix 
package! With the functions included in this package seems relatively 
easy to get a planar projection of the spherical quarter holding all 
power values. But, please, do you know if is there any package that 
could be able to add some 3D effect to the representation?


For instance, look at this MATLAB example:

Thanks!

Greetings,

Ricardo

The rgl package can do general 3D plotting, but I don't know of anyone 
who has put together what you're looking for, so you'll need to compute 
the individual line segments or polygons yourself.

Thanks for pointing me on that direction! Extremely feature-rich this, 
as usual, package!

I'd found persp, but rgl seems much more suitable for this purpose.

Now the challenge is to find time and be able to put things together!

Thanks for your help,

Ricardo
