To celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day the best (and by far the nerdiest) way I know how, I thought I would share some R code I wrote a few years back. Some of you will really appreciate the code (but you probably won't let anyone know), and hopefully others will at least appreciate the output.
So, Avast Ye Mateys, without further ado, here is the output followed by the code. And yes, the circumference of all the circles really is pi*r*8. Arr!
circle <- function(center.x=0,center.y=0,r=1){
t <- seq(0,2*pi,pi/32)
x<-center.x + r * cos(t)
y<-center.y + r * sin(t)
cbind(x,y)
}
png(file="pir8-flag.png", width = 11, height = 8.5, units = "in", res = 100)
par(mar=c(0, 0, 0, 0), bg="black")
plot(0, 0, asp=1,xlim=c(-2.75, 2.75), ylim=c(-2.5, 1.75), type="n", xlab = NA, ylab = NA, ann=FALSE, axes=FALSE)
