Hi. It would not be difficult to create something like the Union Jack flag in R by using the polygon function for each unique region, assuming I had the x and y vertices of each region, and applying appropriate colors.
I could measure each region with a ruler. For example, starting at the lower left, the red region has two of its four vertices at (0,0) and (0.5, 0), for a flag that is approximately 9 by 5.
My question is, starting with a jpg file of the flag, is there an R way to locate all the vertices?
Also, given the jpg file, is there a way to identify the exact colors?
Thank you.
