Calculate coordinates for plotting individuals in a pedigree

Extracts and modifies the x and y positions for each individual in a pedigree data frame using the align.pedigree function from the `kinship2` package. It returns a data.frame with positions for plotting.

Usage

calculateCoordinates(
  ped,
  personID = "ID",
  momID = "momID",
  dadID = "dadID",
  spouseID = "spouseID",
  sexVar = "sex",
  code_male = NULL,
  config = list()
)

Arguments

ped

A data frame containing the pedigree data. Needs personID, momID, and dadID columns

personID

Character string specifying the column name for individual IDs.

momID

Character string specifying the column name for mother IDs. Defaults to "momID".

dadID

Character string specifying the column name for father IDs. Defaults to "dadID".

spouseID

Character. Name of the column in `ped` for the spouse ID variable.

sexVar

code_male

Default is 1. Used by BGmisc::recodeSex().

ped_packed

Logical, default TRUE. Passed to `kinship2::align.pedigree`.

ped_align

Logical, default TRUE. Align generations.

ped_width

Numeric, default 15. Controls spacing.

Value

A data frame with one or more rows per person, each containing:

• `x_order`, `y_order`: Grid indices representing layout rows and columns.

• `x_pos`, `y_pos`: Continuous coordinate positions used for plotting.

• `nid`: Internal numeric identifier for layout mapping.

• `extra`: Logical flag indicating whether this row is a secondary appearance.
