Thank you very much Jim for you help!!Your help was my need!! I have create this function to draw a polygon with a circular side
DrawPortion<-function(init,finish,length_){ plot(0,xlim=c(-10,10),ylim=c(-10,10),xlab="",ylab="",type="n",axes=TRUE) polygon(c(0,length_*cos(seq(ToRadians(finish),ToRadians(init),length.out=50))), c(0,length_*sin(seq(ToRadians(finish),ToRadians(init),length.out=50))), border="#ffaaaa",col="#66ee33") } ToRadians<-function(grades){ radians=(grades/180*pi); return(radians); } Thank you very much Jim A Greetings Luismi Jim Lemon-2 wrote: > > ermimi wrote: >> Hello Friends!!! >> >> I would want draw a circular histogram, and I would like draw a polygon >> with >> a circular side.
