In this vignette we will show how to join charts in different ways. This is a useful functionality of the tidycharts
package, as it enables the user to group charts into panels or even generate multiple charts by one command (facetting).
library(tidycharts)
Combining plots in one panel is useful and easy by using the function join_charts
. By setting nrows
and ncols
parameters user can control the layout of the grid.
As you can see in Getting Started vignette, we created grouped bar chart and two variance bar charts. We can use the data and plots from that example to create a joined chart.
join_charts( bar_chart_grouped(data = data_barchart, cat = data_barchart$dep, foreground = 'prev_year', background = 'profit', markers = 'plan', series_labels = c('PY', 'AC', 'PL')), bar_chart_absolute_variance(cat = data_barchart$dep, baseline = data_barchart$plan, real = data_barchart$profit, y_title = 'Plan vs. actual', y_style = 'plan'), bar_chart_relative_variance(cat = data_barchart$dep, baseline = data_barchart$plan, real = data_barchart$profit, y_title = 'Plan vs. actual', y_style = 'plan'), nrows = 1, ncols = 3)
Facetting means dividing data into some categories and generating charts for each category. We will apply facet_chart
function to visualize data from R built-in demo dataset mtcars
.
head(mtcars)
We should facet the data by a variable which doesn't have many unique values (preferably a categorical variable), so we won't end up with astounding number of charts. In this case, we will facet by cyl
variable, that has only 3 unique values, so we will get 3 charts.
We need to pass FUN
argument to facet_chart
function, which must be one of plotting functions in the package. FUN
is responsible for creating base charts. Arguments to FUN
can be passed through ...
. In the example, scatter_plot
is used.
facet_chart(data = mtcars, facet_by = 'cyl', ncols = 2, FUN = scatter_plot, x = mtcars$qsec, y = mtcars$hp, cat = mtcars$gear, legend_title = '', x_names = c('1/4 mile time', 'is s'), y_names = c('Horsepower', ''))
