Create a bubble plot.

Description

Bubble plot based on function vaguely based on bubble by Edzer Pebesma in gstat package. By default, positive values have closed bubbles and negative values have open bubbles.

Usage

bubble3(
  x,
  y,
  z,
  col = 1,
  cexZ1 = 5,
  maxsize = NULL,
  do.sqrt = TRUE,
  bg.open = gray(0.95, 0.3),
  legend = TRUE,
  legendloc = "top",
  legend.z = "default",
  legend.yadj = 1.1,
  main = "",
  cex.main = 1,
  xlab = "",
  ylab = "",
  minnbubble = 3,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  axis1 = TRUE,
  xlimextra = 1,
  add = FALSE,
  las = 1,
  allopen = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

Vector of x-values.

y

Vector of y-values.

z

Vector of bubble sizes, where positive sizes will be plotted as closed bubbles and negative as open unless allopen==TRUE.

col

Color for bubbles. Should be either a single value or vector of length equal to x, y, and z vectors.

cexZ1

Character expansion (cex) value for a proportion of 1.0.

maxsize

Size of largest bubble. Preferred option is now an expansion factor for a bubble with z=1 (see cexZ1 above).

do.sqrt

Should size be based on the area? (Diameter proportional to sqrt(z)). Default=TRUE.

bg.open

background color for open bubbles (border will equal 'col')

legend

Add a legend to the plot?

legendloc

Location for legend (default='top')

legend.z

If a legend is added, what z values will be shown. Default is c(-3,-2,-1,.1,1,2,3) for Pearson-like quantities and a smaller range for proportions that are all less than 1.

legend.yadj

If a legend is added, how much should the y-axis be expanded to make space for it.

main

Title of plot. Default="".

cex.main

Character expansion for title. Default=1.

xlab

X-axis label.

ylab

Y-axis label.

minnbubble

Minimum number of unique x values below which extra space is added to horizontal axis (to make plot look better). Default = 8.

xlim

Optional limits on x-range.

ylim

Optional limits on y-range.

axis1

Show the horizontal axis on plot? Option allows turning off for use in multi-figure plots.

xlimextra

Extra space (see minnbubble above). Default = 1.

add

Add bubbles to existing plot? Default=FALSE.

las

Style of axis labels (see ?par for more info).

allopen

Should all bubbles be open (instead of just negative values)?
