I am trying to make 2 polar plots side by side in same plot window using following commands

Codes:

d = read.table("D:/POLAR_1.txt", sep="\t", header=T)
attach(d)
summary(d)
library(plotrix)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))

For first polar plot:

polar.plot(NA, NA, clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="", start=90,radial.lim=c(0, 35), 
radial.cex=0.3, box.radial=TRUE, show.grid.labels=1, boxed.radial=FALSE)

polar.plot(g_d, g_a, clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="s", start=90, point.symbols=19, 
show.grid.labels=3, par(cex=0.8), add=TRUE)

For 2nd polar plot:

polar.plot(NA, NA, clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="", start=90,radial.lim=c(0, 35), 
radial.cex=0.3, box.radial=TRUE, show.grid.labels=1, boxed.radial=FALSE, add=TRUE)

polar.plot(s_d, s_a, clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="s", start=90, point.symbols=19, 
show.grid.labels=3, par(cex=0.8), add=TRUE)

Result: I can get the 1st plot but for second plot I am getting following message:

Error report:

Error in if (grid.pos[1] < radial.lim[1]) grid.pos <- grid.pos[-1] : 
  missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

Question?

As the 2nd dataset have some missing values (because of less observation), so I am getting this error. So, wondering how to deal with this error.

Try this for example:

enter image description here

library(plotrix)

par(mfrow=c(1,2))
polar.plot(NA, NA, clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="", start=90,radial.lim=c(0, 35), 
           radial.cex=0.3, box.radial=TRUE, show.grid.labels=1, boxed.radial=FALSE)
polar.plot(g_d, g_a, clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="s", start=90, point.symbols=19, 
           show.grid.labels=3, par(cex=0.8), add=TRUE)

## here remove add=TRUE      
polar.plot(NA, NA, clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="", start=90,radial.lim=c(0, 35), 
             radial.cex=0.3, box.radial=TRUE, show.grid.labels=1, boxed.radial=FALSE)
## use na.omit to remove missing values
polar.plot(na.omit(s_d), na.omit(s_a), clockwise=TRUE, rp.type="s", start=90, point.symbols=19, 
           show.grid.labels=3, par(cex=0.8), add=TRUE)

Thank you very much - @agstudy. Is there any way to place radial axis (0 to 35) to be placed outside the plot? and Put "Degree" symbol in circular axis value as superscript? — user2510725, Jun 22 '13 at 02:58
