type_points: Points plot type

In tinyplot: Lightweight Extension of the Base R Graphics System

Points plot type

Description

Type function for plotting points, i.e. a scatter plot.

Usage

type_points(clim = c(0.5, 2.5))

Arguments

clim	Numeric giving the lower and upper limits of the character expansion (cex) normalization for bubble charts.

Examples

# "p" type convenience character string
tinyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length, data = iris, type = "p")

# Same result with type_points()
tinyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length, data = iris, type = type_points())

# Note: Specifying the type here is redundant. Like base plot, tinyplot
# automatically produces a scatter plot if x and y are numeric
tinyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length, data = iris)

# Grouped scatter plot example
tinyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length | Species, data = iris)

# Continuous grouping (with gradient legend)
tinyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length | Sepal.Width, data = iris, pch = 19)

# Bubble chart version
tinyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length, data = iris, cex = iris$Sepal.Width)

# Fancier version with dual legends and extra customization
tinyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length | Species,
         data = iris,
         cex = iris$Sepal.Width, clim = c(1, 5),
         pch = 21, fill = 0.3)
