scale_size_tile: Scales for area or radius of bin tiles

In gghexsize: Make Hexagonal Heatmaps with Varying Hexagon Sizes

Scales for area or radius of bin tiles

Description

Replacements for ggplot2::scale_size_area() and ggplot2::scale_size_binned_area() with convenient defaults for geom_hextile().

Usage

scale_size_tile(
  name = ggplot2::waiver(),
  ...,
  max_size = 1,
  oob = scales::squish
)

scale_size_binned_tile(
  name = ggplot2::waiver(),
  ...,
  max_size = 1,
  oob = scales::squish
)

Arguments

name	The name of the scale. Used as the axis or legend title. If waiver(), the default, the name of the scale is taken from the first mapping used for that aesthetic. If NULL, the legend title will be omitted.
...	Arguments passed on to ggplot2::continuous_scale() or ggplot2::binned_scale().
max_size	Size of largest points.
oob	One of: Function that handles limits outside of the scale limits (out of bounds). Also accepts rlang lambda function notation. The default (scales::squish()) squishes out of bounds values into range. scales::censor() for replacing out of bounds values with NA. scales::squish_infinite() for squishing infinite values into range.

Details

These are convenience functions with the following changed defaults:

• max_size = 1 rather than 6,

• oob = scales::squish.

In practice, this makes it easy to set a hard upper limit on a scale, above which sizes are clamped to 1.

Value

A ggplot2::Scale.

Examples

library(ggplot2)

d <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(carat, depth, z = price)) +
  geom_hextile()
d + scale_size_tile(limits = c(NA, 100))

d + scale_size_binned_tile(transform = "log10")
