- mapping
Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes()
. If specified and
inherit.aes = TRUE
(the default), it is combined with the default mapping
at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping
if there is no plot
mapping.
- data
The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three
options:
If NULL
, the default, the data is inherited from the plot
data as specified in the call to ggplot()
.
A data.frame
, or other object, will override the plot
data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See
fortify()
for which variables will be created.
A function
will be called with a single argument,
the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame
, and
will be used as the layer data. A function
can be created
from a formula
(e.g. ~ head(.x, 10)
).
- geom
The geometric object to use to display the data, either as a
ggproto
Geom
subclass or as a string naming the geom stripped of the
geom_
prefix (e.g. "point"
rather than "geom_point"
)
- position
Position adjustment, either as a string naming the adjustment
(e.g. "jitter"
to use position_jitter
), or the result of a call to a
position adjustment function. Use the latter if you need to change the
settings of the adjustment.
- na.rm
If FALSE
, the default, missing values are removed with
a warning. If TRUE
, missing values are silently removed.
- show.legend
logical. Should this layer be included in the legends?
NA
, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped.
FALSE
never includes, and TRUE
always includes.
It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to
display.
- inherit.aes
If FALSE
, overrides the default aesthetics,
rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions
that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from
the default plot specification, e.g. borders()
.
- level
confidence level used to construct the ellipses. By
default, 0.95.
- npoint
number of points used to draw the ellipses.
- bary
logical value. If TRUE, the coordinates of the ellipse around the
barycentre of individuals are calculated.
- ...
Other arguments passed on to layer()
. These are
often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like
colour = "red"
or size = 3
. They may also be parameters
to the paired geom/stat.
