What is a Non-Linear Coordinate system?
Non-linear coordinates can alter the appearance of geometric shapes, which differs from the behavior of linear coordinates. Non-linear coordinate systems can distort shapes. For example, in polar coordinates, a rectangle can turn into an arc. In map projections, the shortest path between two points might not be a straight line.
Non-Linear Coordinate system in ggplot2?
When we make graphs, we usually use straight lines and grids to show data points. This is called a “linear coordinate system.” But sometimes, using a different system called “non-linear coordinates” can help us understand the data better.
