glyphs: Create glyphplot data

Description

Create the data needed to generate a glyph plot.

Usage

glyphs(
  data,
  x_major,
  x_minor,
  y_major,
  y_minor,
  polar = FALSE,
  height = ggplot2::rel(0.95),
  width = ggplot2::rel(0.95),
  y_scale = identity,
  x_scale = identity
)

Arguments

data

A data frame containing variables named in x_major, x_minor, y_major and y_minor.

x_major, x_minor, y_major, y_minor

The name of the variable (as a string) for the major and minor x and y axes. Together, each unique

polar

A logical of length 1, specifying whether the glyphs should be drawn in polar coordinates. Defaults to FALSE.

height, width

The height and width of each glyph. Defaults to 95% of the resolution of the data. Specify the width absolutely by supplying a numeric vector of length 1, or relative to the

y_scale, x_scale

The scaling function to be applied to each set of minor values within a grid cell. Defaults to identity so that no scaling is performed.
