In JJNewkirk/hurRicane: Geom and functions of creating hurricane wind speed radii (extend ggplot2)

Description

The wrapper is just to plot the object. See ggplot2 package documenation for more specifics on geom_* and layer_* functions.

Usage

geom_hurricane(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity",
  position = "identity", ..., na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE)

Arguments

mapping	Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes or aes_. If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.
data	The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options: If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot. A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See fortify for which variables will be created. A function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame., and will be used as the layer data.
stat	The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.
position	Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.
...	other arguments passed on to layer. These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like color = "red" or size = 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.
na.rm	If FALSE, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If TRUE, missing values are silently removed.
show.legend	logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes.
inherit.aes	If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders.
arc_step	This regulates the resolution of the arcs in the wind_radii graph. See hurricane_geocode function, specificall arcRes argument as this is passed into that function to transform data in the underlying GeomHurricane
scale_radii	This is per the assignemnt instructions to implement a way to scale the radius size. I'm honestly not sure why you would want to reduce all the radii to 80 I'm actually concerned this misrepresents the data since it appears that for a given region near the eye, the wind speeds are slower than what the data records.

Note

It is possible to overwrite the color scale of the wind radius bands, IT IS NOT possible, nor practical, to set a fill nor color in the aes() call. These are used internally to geom_hurricane to propely design the chart. Overriding these values are going to unexpected results.
