Convert units

Description

Convert units

Usage

convert_length(x, unit = c("mm", "cm", "inches"))

Arguments

x

a numeric vector

unit

supported units, only "mm", "cm", "inches".

Details

This function coverts mm/cm/inches units to units measured in the canvas coordinate, e.g. how much is it in the canvas coordinate for 1 mm/cm/inches.

Since in the circular plot, the aspect ratio is always 1, it does not matter this conversion is applied on x direction or y direction.

This function is mainly used in the radical direction.
