gf_dotplot: Formula interface to geom_dotplot()

Description

Scatterplots in ggformula.

Usage

gf_dotplot(object = NULL, gformula = NULL, data = NULL, alpha, color,
  fill, group, binwidth = NULL, binaxis = "x", method = "dotdensity",
  binpositions = "bygroup", stackdir = "up", stackratio = 1,
  dotsize = 1, stackgroups = FALSE, origin = NULL, right = TRUE,
  width = 0.9, drop = FALSE, xlab, ylab, title, subtitle, caption,
  position = "identity", show.legend = NA, show.help = NULL,
  inherit = TRUE, environment = parent.frame(), ...)

Arguments

object

When chaining, this holds an object produced in the earlier portions of the chain. Most users can safely ignore this argument. See details and examples.

gformula

A formula with shape ~ x. Faceting can be achieved by including | in the formula.

data

A data frame with the variables to be plotted.

alpha

Opacity (0 = invisible, 1 = opaque).

color

A color or a formula used for mapping color.

fill

A color for filling, or a formula used for mapping fill.

group

Used for grouping.

binwidth

When method is "dotdensity", this specifies maximum bin width. When method is "histodot", this specifies bin width. Defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data

binaxis

The axis to bin along, "x" (default) or "y"

method

"dotdensity" (default) for dot-density binning, or "histodot" for fixed bin widths (like stat_bin)

binpositions

When method is "dotdensity", "bygroup" (default) determines positions of the bins for each group separately. "all" determines positions of the bins with all the data taken together; this is used for aligning dot stacks across multiple groups.

stackdir

which direction to stack the dots. "up" (default), "down", "center", "centerwhole" (centered, but with dots aligned)

stackratio

how close to stack the dots. Default is 1, where dots just just touch. Use smaller values for closer, overlapping dots.

dotsize

The diameter of the dots relative to binwidth, default 1.

stackgroups

should dots be stacked across groups? This has the effect that position = "stack" should have, but can't (because this geom has some odd properties).

origin

When method is "histodot", origin of first bin

right

When method is "histodot", should intervals be closed on the right (a, b], or not [a, b)

width

When binaxis is "y", the spacing of the dot stacks for dodging.

drop

If TRUE, remove all bins with zero counts

xlab

Label for x-axis. See also gf_labs().

ylab

Label for y-axis. See also gf_labs().

title

Title, sub-title, and caption for the plot. See also gf_labs().

subtitle

Title, sub-title, and caption for the plot. See also gf_labs().

caption

Title, sub-title, and caption for the plot. See also gf_labs().

position

Either a character string naming the position function used for the layer or a position object returned from a call to a position function.

show.legend

A logical indicating whether this layer should be included in the legends. NA, the default, includes layer in the legends if any of the attributes of the layer are mapped.

show.help

If TRUE, display some minimal help.

inherit

A logical indicating whether default attributes are inherited.

environment

An environment in which to look for variables not found in data.

...

Additional arguments. Typically these are (a) ggplot2 aesthetics to be set with attribute = value, (b) ggplot2 aesthetics to be mapped with attribute = ~expression, or (c) attributes of the layer as a whole, which are set with attribute = value.

Value

a gg object

Details

Positional aesthetics are specified using the formula in gformula. Setting and mapping of additional attributes can be done through the use of additional arguments. Attributes can be set can be set using arguments of the form attribute = value or mapped using arguments of the form attribute = ~ expression.

In formulas of the form A | B, B will be used to form facets using facet_wrap() or facet_grid(). This provides an alternative to gf_facet_wrap() and gf_facet_grid() that is terser and may feel more familiar to users of lattice.

Evaluation of the ggplot2 code occurs in the environment of gformula. This will typically do the right thing when formulas are created on the fly, but might not be the right thing if formulas created in one environment are used to create plots in another.
