Calculate the nearest feature in polar coordinates given cartesian coordinates

Description

Calculates the nearest feature in polar coordinates given cartesian coordinates

Usage

minFragCart2Polar(x, y, degreeOfFeatures)

Arguments

Details

minFragCart2Polar is employed to find the feature with the smallest distance from given cartesian coordinates.

Value

minFragCart2Polar returns the index of the feature that has the smallest distance to the given coordinates. As minFragCart2Polar is used in shinyCircos for the track 1 only polar r coordinates between 0.8 and 1 will be used to find the feature with smallest distance.

Examples

## load binnedMSP
data("binnedMSP", package = "MetCirc")
## use only a selection 
binnedMSP <- binnedMSP[c(1:20, 29:48, 113:132, 240:259),]
simM <- createSimilarityMatrix(binnedMSP)
groupname <- rownames(simM)
plotCircos(groupname, NULL, initialize = TRUE, featureNames = FALSE, 
     groupName = FALSE, groupSector = FALSE, links = FALSE, highlight = FALSE)
x <- 1
y <- 0
degreeFeatures <- lapply(groupname, 
 function(x) mean(circlize:::get.sector.data(x)[c("start.degree", "end.degree")]))
minFragCart2Polar(x, y, degreeOfFeatures = degreeFeatures)
