How to create nice polygons from a number of clusters? I have sorted list of clusters representing hot-spots
> sorted.list.of.clusters [1] 7 1 11 9 26 2 5 10 33 40 18 28 37 20 30 47 53 whereas my.cluster holds the classification of events (criminal fire-setting) to clusters: head(my.cluster, 100) [1] 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 5 9 10 11 12 1 13 2 14 15 10 16 17 5 13 7 7 18 19 18 20 20 2 21 16 22 18 10 1 [39] 9 23 4 7 24 9 9 7 7 5 2 11 25 12 7 7 26 27 13 7 7 28 18 28 29 9 2 5 30 11 31 14 18 1 32 26 2 31 [77] 29 33 2 34 2 26 35 36 7 2 35 37 26 38 11 2 11 26 30 7 4 11 8 11 > number.of.fires.at.hotspots <- sapply(sorted.list.of.clusters, function(x) > {length(which(my.cluster == x))}) > number.of.fires.at.hotspots [1] 44 39 38 32 22 21 21 21 15 15 14 14 14 12 12 12 12 The "SpatialPointsDataFrame" object clust.geo.test holds the events. A list coordinates of the events of each cluster is generated with: > sapply(sorted.list.of.clusters, function(x) > {clust.geo.t...@coords[which(my.cluster == x),]}) [[1]] Ost Nord [1,] 322737.4 6406939 [2,] 323104.9 6406968 [3,] 323104.9 6406968 ... [[2]] Ost Nord [1,] 315359.9 6393110 [2,] 315177.0 6394031 [3,] 314697.8 6394565 ... And I can plot the points in the hot-spots with > plot(sdn) > sapply(sorted.list.of.clusters, function(x) > {plot(clust.geo.test[which(my.cluster == x),], add = T)}) But would like to plot each cluster as a polygon, ideally filled with darker colors for clusters with higher number of fires. I guess I need to create polygons for each cluster and then plot each polygon. How do you do that? For your convenience I have created a RData object containing the objects refered to above and uploaded to this URI http://sociologi.cjb.net/temp/to-polygons-help.RData, so print(load(url("http://sociologi.cjb.net/temp/to-polygons-help.RData"))) plot(sdn) sapply(sorted.list.of.clusters, function(x) {plot(clust.geo.test[which(my.cluster == x),], add = T)}) would get you to the point I am now.
