Overlay a fitted von Mises density curve on a radiate plot

Source: R/circular_plotting.R
add_vonmises_density.Rd

Evaluates the von Mises probability density on a fine angular grid and draws it as a closed polygon in the same Cartesian coordinate space used by radiate and add_angle_rose. The curve peaks at scale so the two layers align when given matching scale values.

Usage

add_vonmises_density(
  fit,
  scale = 0.4,
  inner_r = 0,
  group_col = NULL,
  n_pts = 360L,
  colour = "steelblue",
  linewidth = 0.8,
  fill = NA,
  alpha = 0.8,
  display = NULL
)

Arguments

fit

Data frame from vonmises_fit, containing at least mu and kappa columns.

scale

Maximum outer radius as a fraction of the unit circle. Default 0.4 matches add_angle_rose.

inner_r

Inner radius; default 0.

group_col

Column in fit for faceting; must match the panel_by argument of the parent radiate() call.

n_pts

Angular evaluation points. Default 360L.

colour

Outline colour. Default "steelblue".

linewidth

Outline width. Default 0.8.

fill

Fill colour. Default NA (outline only).

alpha

Opacity. Default 0.8.

display

A `circ_display()` controlling rotation, matching the parent `radiate()` plot. Default `NULL` uses the input's `display` attribute when present, otherwise the identity display.

Value

A geom_polygon layer, or NULL if fit is all NA.
