I'm using the 'Circular' package to plot windroses. I think the output table
(see out2$table below) is incorrect when using different rotations. More
precisely, when a rotation is used for the plot, the output table stuffs up.
This example is from the code in the help notes, although the input data (dir,
mag) are changed):
> dir <- c(1:50,1:50)
> mag <- c(1:100)
>
> sample <- data.frame(dir=circular(dir,units="degrees"), mag=mag)
>
> par(mfrow=c(2,2))
> res <- windrose(sample)
>
> ## we join two pedals and keep the same shrink (scale of the plot)
> breaks <- seq(0, 2 * pi, by = pi/6)
> breaks <- breaks[-2]
> out1<-windrose(sample, breaks=breaks, increment=50,main="The same but with two
pedals joined", shrink=res$shrink)
> #
> # change the rotation
> sample <- data.frame(dir=circular(dir, units="degrees", rotation="clock"),
mag=mag)
> out2<-windrose(sample, breaks=breaks,increment=50, main="Change the rotation",
shrink=res$shrink)
>
> ## use geographics template
> sample <- data.frame(dir=circular(dir, units="degrees",
template="geographics"), mag=mag)
> out3<-windrose(sample, breaks=breaks, increment=50,main="Use the template
'geographics'", shrink=res$shrink)

THESE are the output tables that seem to be incorrect (I'm sorry they're not
clearer):
> out1$table
[0, 60) [60, 90) [90, 120) [120, 150) [150, 180) [180, 210) [210,
240) [240, 270) [270, 300) [300, 330) [330, 360)
>From 0 to 50 0.5 0 0 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 0
>From 50 to 100 0.5 0 0 0 0 0

out1$table is correct. The data is all between 0-60degrees.
out2$table (changed rotation) is incorrect. The data are listed as being between
330-360degrees.
Out3$table (geographic rotation) is incorrect. The data are listed as being
between 60-90degrees.
Regardless of the rotation, the data should always be between 0-60degrees!
The problem only seems to occur when 'rotating' the plot.
