Usage
discrete_scale(aesthetics, scale_name, palette, name = waiver(), breaks = waiver(), labels = waiver(), limits = NULL, expand = waiver(), na.translate = TRUE, na.value = NA, drop = TRUE, guide = "legend", position = "left", super = ScaleDiscrete)
Arguments
aesthetics
the names of the aesthetics that this scale works with
scale_name
the name of the scale
palette
a palette function that when called with a single integer
argument (the number of levels in the scale) returns the values that
they should take
name
the name of the scale - used as the axis label or the legend
title
breaks
control the breaks in the guide. There are four possible
types of input:
-
NULL
: don't display any breaks
- a character vector giving the breaks as they should appear on the
axis or in the legend.
-
waiver()
to use the default break computation.
- a function, that when called with a single argument, a character
vector giving the limits of the scale, returns a character vector
specifying which breaks to display.
This parameter does not affect in any way how the data is scaled - it
only affects the appearance of the legend.
labels
NULL
for no labels, waiver()
for default
labels (labels the same as breaks), a character vector the same length
as breaks, or a named character vector whose names are used to match
replacement the labels for matching breaks.
limits
A character vector specifying the data range for the scale.
and the default order of their display in guides.
expand
a numeric vector of length two, giving a multiplicative and
additive constant used to expand the range of the scales so that there
is a small gap between the data and the axes. The defaults are (0,0.6)
for discrete scales and (0.05,0) for continuous scales.
na.translate
Unlike continuous scales, discrete scales can easily show
missing values, and do so by default. If you want to remove missing values
from a discrete scale, specify na.translate = FALSE
.
na.value
If na.translate = TRUE
, what value aesthetic
value should missing be displayed as? Does not apply to position scales
where NA
is always placed at the far right.
drop
Should unused factor levels be omitted from the scale?
The default, TRUE
, uses the levels that appear in the data;
FALSE
uses all the levels in the factor.
guide
the name of, or actual function, used to create the
guide. See guides
for more info. position
The position of the axis. "left" or "right" for vertical
scales, "top" or "bottom" for horizontal scales
super
The super class to use for the constructed scale
