bank_plot: Bank a Plot's Own Data to 45 Degrees

In ggthemes: Extra Themes, Scales and Geoms for 'ggplot2'

Bank a Plot's Own Data to 45 Degrees

Description

A convenience wrapper around bank_slopes that extracts x/y directly from an already-specified ggplot, so you do not have to separately reconstruct the plotted vectors by hand. It builds plot with ggplot_build, computes the banking ratio from one layer's fully resolved data (i.e. after stats, position adjustments, and faceting have been applied), and returns plot + coord_fixed(ratio = ...).

Usage

bank_plot(
  plot,
  method = c("ms", "as", "ao", "was"),
  cull = FALSE,
  layer = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

plot	A ggplot object.
method, cull, ...	Passed to bank_slopes.
layer	Integer. Which layer of plot to extract x/ y from. Defaults to the first layer.

Details

Segments are never averaged across a group or facet panel boundary: slopes are computed within each combination of group and PANEL and then combined, so a line plot with multiple series (or facets) is banked correctly rather than picking up spurious slopes between the end of one line and the start of the next.

Note that coord_fixed applies a single ratio to every panel, so faceted plots are banked using the combined data from all panels rather than a ratio tailored to each one individually.

Value

The plot, with coord_fixed added.

Examples

library("ggplot2")
x <- seq_along(sunspot.year)
y <- as.numeric(sunspot.year)
p <- ggplot(data.frame(x = x, y = y), aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_line()
bank_plot(p)
