I have a kohonen object generated with grid parameters grid = somgrid(20, 20, "hexagonal"). Standard plot shows the codebook vectors for all variables. I want to have a hexagonal heatmap for each variable.
I found in Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R code to generate hexagonal grid. library("sp") data(meuse.grid) gridded(meuse.grid) = ~x + y HexPts <- spsample(meuse.grid, type = "hexagonal", cellsize = 200) spplot(meuse.grid["dist"], sp.layout = list("sp.points", HexPts, col = 1)) HexPols <- HexPoints2SpatialPolygons(HexPts) df <- as.data.frame(meuse.grid)[overlay(meuse.grid, HexPts),] HexPolsDf <- SpatialPolygonsDataFrame(HexPols, df, match.ID = FALSE) spplot(HexPolsDf["dist"]) And modified it to work with my kohonen object. gridgminy=gminy.som$grid$pts gridgminy=data.frame(gridgminy) gridgminy=cbind(gridgminy,gminy.som$codes) gridded(gridgminy) = ~x + y gxx <- spsample(gridgminy, type = "hexagonal", cellsize = 0.99) HexPolsGminy <- HexPoints2SpatialPolygons(gxx) dfGminy <- as.data.frame(gridgminy)[overlay(gridgminy, gxx),] HexPolsDfGminy <- SpatialPolygonsDataFrame(HexPolsGminy, dfGminy, match.ID = FALSE) spplot(HexPolsDfGminy["NGO"]) But there are some problems. Firstly the line gxx <- spsample(gridgminy, type = "hexagonal", cellsize = 0.99) works randomly. Sometimes it works good and I have full grid https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4723921/Screenshots/zupb.png sometimes it generates grid partly like that http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4723921/Screenshots/mc3e.png or like that http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4723921/Screenshots/6lbh.png Why does it happen? Secondly what is the parameter cellsize mean? Is it hexagon area or is it hexagon side? Thirdly is there any tool to make selected sides bolder, to mark the clusters?
