clugenr

clugenr is an R package for generating multidimensional clusters. Each cluster is supported by a line segment, the position, orientation and length of which guide where the respective points are placed. The clugen() function is provided for this purpose, as well as a number of auxiliary functions, used internally and modularly by clugen(). Users can swap these auxiliary functions by their own customized versions, fine-tuning their cluster generation strategies, or even use them as the basis for their own generation algorithms.

How to install

A stable version of the package is available on CRAN and can be installed with the following instruction:

install.packages("clugenr")

Alternatively, install the development version from GitHub with the following command (requires the devtools package):

devtools::install_github("clugen/clugenr")

Quick start 

library(clugenr)
x <- clugen(2, 5, 1000, c(1, -0.5), 0.5, c(4, 6), 6, 0.2, 0.5)
plot(x$points, col = x$clusters, xlab = "x", ylab = "y", asp = 1)

library(clugenr)
library(rgl) # For 3D plots
x <- clugen(3, 5, 2000, c(1, 0.5, -0.7), 0.5, c(15, 10, 20), 15, 3, 10)
plot3d(x$points, col = x$clusters, xlab = "x", ylab = "y", zlab = "z", aspect = T)
