[R] Hexbin: Counting Bins That Meet Certain Criteria

[Sidoti, Salvatore A.]

Thank you, David! I adapted this code and it works very nicely with my data. 

Just to give you a bit of background, I am a behavioral ecologist. I am currently studying the general search patterns of wolf spiders and I have a lot of tracking data to process. I am not a coder, although I am slowing becoming one out of necessity!

I created a new post today, so everyone should be seeing it shortly...

Something like

> library(hexbin)
> set.seed(42)
> xy <- matrix(rnorm(1000), 500)
> xy.hex <- hexbin(xy)
> table(xy.hex at count)

  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8 
159  60  33  16   6   1   2   1 
> sum(xy.hex at count >= 3)
[1] 59

Greetings!

Is there a way to count the bins in a hexbin plot that meet certain criteria? For instance, what if I wanted to count the bins (hexes) that have a datapoint density of some number x?

Thank you!
