Classplot

Description

Allows to plot one time series or feauture with a classification as a labeled scatter plot with a line. The colors are the labels defined by the classification.

Usage

Classplot(X, Y, Cls, Plotter,Names = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, 

xlab = "X", ylab = "Y", main = "Class Plot", Colors = NULL,

Size = 8,PointBorderCol="black",

LineColor = NULL, LineWidth = 1, LineType  = NULL, 

Showgrid  = TRUE, pch,  AnnotateIt = FALSE, SaveIt = FALSE, 

Nudge_x_Names = 0, Nudge_y_Names = 0, Legend = "", SmallClassesOnTop = TRUE,

...)

Arguments

`X`	[1:n] numeric vector or time
`Y`	[1:n] numeric vector of feature
`Cls`	[1:n] numeric vector of k classes, if not set per default every point is in first class
`Names`	[1:n] character vector of k classes, if not set per default Cls is used, if set, names the legend and the points
`na.rm`	Function may not work with non finite values. If these cases should be automatically removed, set parameter TRUE
`xlab`	Optional, string for xlabel
`ylab`	Optional, string for ylabel
`main`	Optional, string for title of plot
`Colors`	Optional, [1;k] string defining the k colors, one per class
`AnnotateIt`	Optional, in case of `Plotter==ggplot` and given `Names` annotates each point if TRUE
`Size`	Optional, size of points, beware: default is appropriate for "`plotly`", or "`native`" but should smaller for "`ggplot`"
`PointBorderCol`	Optional, string, color of the dot outline for "`plotly`" for "`ggplot`". If `FALSE` and `Plotter="ggplot"` or `Plotter="plotly"`, no borders for points which is useful if many points overlap.
`LineColor`	Optional, name of color, in plotly then all points are connected by a curve, in ggplot2 all points of one class ae connected by a curve of the color the class
`LineWidth`	Optional, number defining the width of the curve (plotly only)
`LineType`	Optional, string defining the type of the curve in plotly only, "`dot`", "`dash`", "`-`" for ggplot2: just set =1 here and then the curve is plotted
`Showgrid`	Optional, boolean (plotly only)
`Plotter`	Optional, either "`ggplot`" (default if `Names` given), "`plotly`" (default if no `Names` given), or "`native`"
`pch`	[1:n] numeric vector of length n of the cases of Cls for the k classes. It defines the symbols to use, for native `Plotter` or `ggplot`, usally k can be in a range from zero to 25
`SaveIt`	Optional, boolean, if true saves plot as html (plotly) or png (ggplot2)
`Nudge_x_Names`	Optional, numerical scalar, for `Plotter` "`ggplot`" only, if `Names` are set, moves them consistently respective to x-axis within units of x-axis
`Nudge_y_Names`	Optional, numerical scalar, for `Plotter` "`ggplot`" only, if `Names` are set, moves them consistently respective to y-axis within units of y-axis
`SmallClassesOnTop`	Optional, boolean, decide if small classes should be plotted on top for visibility (default setting) or not.
`Legend`	Optional, if argument is not missing, character string defining the title of the legend which automatically enables the legend
`...`	Further arguments for `ggplot2::ggplot`,or `plotly::plot_ly`, or `plot` (except "`pch`"" and "`type`") depending on `Plotter`

Details

The mapping of colors to the labels of Cls is consecutive, i.e., the label with the smallest value in Cls gets the first color in Colors. The Colors are plotted in order from label with the highest number of points to the label with the lowest number of points beeing on top.

Default is "plotly" if Names are NULL. However, ggplot2 is preferable in case that Names parameter is used because overlapping text labels are avoided. In that case the default is "ggplot". Note that ggplot2 options are currently slightly restricted.

For example, the function is usefull to see if temporal clustering has time dependent variations and for Hidden Markov Models (see Mthrun/RHmm on GitHub).

Value

plotly object or ggplot2 objected depending on Plotter

Classplot(Lsun3D$Data[,1],Lsun3D$Data[,2],Lsun3D$Cls)

#ggplot 2 with different symbols
  Classplot(
    Lsun3D$Data[, 1],
    Lsun3D$Data[, 2],
    Lsun3D$Cls,
    Plotter = "ggplot2",
    Size = 3,
    pch = Lsun3D$Cls + 5
  )

#plotly with line
data(Lsun3D)
Classplot(Lsun3D$Data[,1],Lsun3D$Data[,2],Lsun3D$Cls,
LineType="-",LineColor = "green")

#ggplot2 with annotations
data(Lsun3D)
ind=sample(1:nrow(Lsun3D$Data),20)
Classplot(Lsun3D$Data[ind,1],Lsun3D$Data[ind,2],Lsun3D$Cls[ind],
Names = rownames(Lsun3D$Data)[ind],Size =1,
