gglegend: Plot only legend of plot function

Description

Plot only legend of plot function

Usage

gglegend(fn)

Arguments

fn

this value is passed directly to an empty wrap call. Please see ?wrap for more details.

Value

a function that when called with arguments will produce the legend of the plotting function supplied.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
# display regular plot
ggally_points(iris, ggplot2::aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, color = Species))

# Make a function that will only print the legend
points_legend <- gglegend(ggally_points)
points_legend(iris, ggplot2::aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, color = Species))

# produce the sample legend plot, but supply a string that 'wrap' understands
same_points_legend <- gglegend("points")
identical(
  attr(attr(points_legend, "fn"), "original_fn"),
  attr(attr(same_points_legend, "fn"), "original_fn")
)

# Complicated examples
custom_legend <- wrap(gglegend("points"), size = 6)
custom_legend(iris, ggplot2::aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, color = Species))

# Use within ggpairs
pm <- ggpairs(
  iris, 1:2,
  mapping = ggplot2::aes(color = Species),
  upper = list(continuous = gglegend("points"))
)
# pm

# Place a legend in a specific location
pm <- ggpairs(iris, 1:2, mapping = ggplot2::aes(color = Species))
# Make the legend
pm[1,2] <- points_legend(iris, ggplot2::aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length, color = Species))
pm
# }
