hcell2xy {hexbin} | R Documentation

## Compute X and Y Coordinates for Hexagon Cells

### Description

Computes x and y coordinates from hexagon cell id's.

### Usage

    hcell2xy(hbin, check.erosion = TRUE)

### Arguments

`hbin` | a object of class `"hexbin"`, typically produced by `hexbin(*)`.
`check.erosion` | logical indicating if only the eroded points should be returned in the case where `hbin` inherits from `"erodebin"` (see `erodebin-class`); is `TRUE` by default.

### Details

The hexbin object `hbin` contains all the needed information. The purpose of this function is to reduce storage. The cost is additional calculation.

### Value

A list with two components of the same length as `bin$cell`,

`x` |
`y` |

### See Also

`hexbin`.

### Examples

    x <- rnorm(10000)
    y <- rnorm(10000)
    plot(x,y, pch=".")
    hbin <- hexbin(x,y)
    str(xys <- hcell2xy(hbin))
    points(xys, cex=1.5, col=2) ; title("hcell2xy( hexbin(..) )", col.main=2)
