axis_y: General axis setttings (y-axis)

In vegalite: Tools to Encode Visualizations with the 'Grammar of Graphics'-Like 'Vega-Lite' 'Spec'

Description

Axes provide axis lines, ticks and labels to convey how a spatial range represents a data range. Simply put, axes visualize scales.

By default, Vega-Lite automatically creates axes for x, y, row, and column channels when they are encoded. Axis can be customized via the axis property of a channel definition.

Usage

axis_y(vl, axisWidth = NULL, layer = NULL, offset = NULL, grid = NULL,
  labels = TRUE, labelAngle = NULL, labelAlign = NULL,
  labelBaseline = NULL, labelMaxLength = 25, shortTimeLabels = NULL,
  subdivide = NULL, ticks = NULL, tickPadding = NULL, tickSize = NULL,
  tickSizeMajor = NULL, tickSizeMinor = NULL, tickSizeEnd = NULL,
  title = "", titleOffset = NULL, titleMaxLength = NULL,
  characterWidth = 6, orient = NULL, format = NULL, remove = FALSE)

Arguments

vl	Vega-Lite object
axisWidth, layer, offset, grid, labels, labelAngle, labelAlign, labelBaseline	see axis docs & axis base config
labelMaxLength, shortTimeLabels, subdivide, ticks, tickPadding, tickSize	see axis docs & axis base config
tickSizeMajor, tickSizeMinor, tickSizeEnd, title, titleOffset, titleMaxLength	see axis docs & axis base config
characterWidth, orient, format, remove	see axis docs & axis base config

Examples

vegalite() %>%
  add_data("https://vega.github.io/vega-editor/app/data/population.json") %>%
  add_filter("datum.year == 2000") %>%
  calculate("gender", 'datum.sex == 2 ? "Female" : "Male"') %>%
  encode_x("gender", "nominal") %>%
  encode_y("people", "quantitative", aggregate="sum") %>%
  encode_color("gender", "nominal") %>%
  scale_x_ordinal(band_size=6) %>%
  scale_color_nominal(range=c("#EA98D2", "#659CCA")) %>%
  facet_col("age", "ordinal", padding=4) %>%
  axis_x(remove=TRUE) %>%
