plot_landscape: Landscape Plot

In microbiome: Microbiome Analytics

Description

Wrapper for visualizing sample similarity landscape ie. sample density in various 2D projections.

Usage

plot_landscape(
  x,
  method = "PCoA",
  distance = "bray",
  transformation = "identity",
  col = NULL,
  main = NULL,
  x.ticks = 10,
  rounding = 0,
  add.points = TRUE,
  adjust = 1,
  size = 1,
  legend = FALSE,
  shading = TRUE
)

Arguments

x	phyloseq-class object or a data matrix (samples x features; eg. samples vs. OTUs). If the input x is a 2D matrix then it is plotted as is.
method	Ordination method, see phyloseq::plot_ordination; or "PCA", or "t-SNE" (from the Rtsne package)
distance	Ordination distance, see phyloseq::plot_ordination; for method = "PCA", only euclidean distance is implemented now.
transformation	Transformation applied on the input object x
col	Variable name to highlight samples (points) with colors
main	title text
x.ticks	Number of ticks on the X axis
rounding	Rounding for X axis tick values
add.points	Plot the data points as well
adjust	Kernel width adjustment
size	point size
legend	plot legend TRUE/FALSE
shading	Add shading in the background.

Details

For consistent results, set random seet (set.seed) before function call. Note that the distance and transformation arguments may have a drastic effect on the outputs.

Value

A ggplot plot object.

Examples

data(dietswap)

# PCoA
p <- plot_landscape(transform(dietswap, "compositional"),
   distance = "bray", method = "PCoA")

p <- plot_landscape(dietswap, method = "t-SNE", distance = "bray",
       transformation = "compositional")

# PCA
p <- plot_landscape(dietswap, method = "PCA", transformation = "clr")
