scheme_align: Align Specifications in the Layout

In ggalign: A 'ggplot2' Extension for Consistent Axis Alignment

Align Specifications in the Layout

Description

The scheme_align() function defines the align Specifications for plots.

Usage

scheme_align(guides = NA, free_spaces = NA, free_labs = NA)

Arguments

guides	A string with one or more of "t", "l", "b", "r", and "i" indicating which side of guide legends should be collected. Defaults to waiver(), which inherits from the parent layout. If no parent layout, all guides will be collected. If NULL, no guides will be collected.
free_spaces	A string with one or more of "t", "l", "b", and "r" indicating which border spaces should be removed. Defaults to waiver(), which inherits from the parent layout. If no parent, the default is NULL, meaning no spaces are removed. Usually you want to apply this with the whole layout, instead of individual plots.
free_labs	A string with one or more of "t", "l", "b", and "r" indicating which axis titles should be free from alignment. Defaults to waiver(), which inherits from the parent layout. If no parent layout, no axis titles will be aligned. If NULL, all axis titles will be aligned.

Value

A scheme_align object.

Examples

set.seed(123)
mat <- matrix(rnorm(72), nrow = 8)
# used in the layout, define the default action for all plots in the layout
ggheatmap(mat) -
    scheme_align(guides = NULL) +
    anno_right() +
    align_dendro(aes(color = branch), k = 3)

# You can also add it for a single plot
ggheatmap(mat) -
    # for all plots in the layout, we default won't collect any guide legends
    scheme_align(guides = NULL) +
    # for the heatmap body, we collect guide legends in the right
    # note, the guide legends will be collected to the right side of the
    # layout which will overlap the legends in the right annotation
    scheme_align(guides = "r") +
    anno_right() +
    align_dendro(aes(color = branch), k = 3)

# to avoid overlapping, we can also collect the guide legends in the
# right annotation
ggheatmap(mat) -
    scheme_align(guides = NULL) +
    scheme_align(guides = "r") +
    anno_right() +
    align_dendro(aes(color = branch), k = 3) +
    scheme_align(guides = "r")
