create_heatmapR Documentation

Function wraps ggplot2 geom_tile to produce a heatmap that shows magnitude as an array of cells in two dimensions.

Description

Function returns a ggplot2 x/y plot of a pair of discrete variables. Instead of a point, a rectangle/cell/tile is located for each x/y value with the cell itself being colored or sized depending on the value of a third associated discrete or continuous variable.

Arguments

df

The target data frame from which the heatmap is plotted.

aes_x

The x axis variable name from df. This is a required discrete numeric, Date/POSIXct variable.

aes_y

The y axis variable name from df. This is a required discrete numeric.

aes_label

Sets the variable name from df as the required source for the tile's text.

aes_color

The discrete/continuous variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for color.

aes_fill

The discrete/continuous variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for fill.

aes_size

The variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for size.

aes_width

The variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for width.

aes_height

The variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for height.

tile_sz

A numeric that sets the tile's size width attribute in millimeters.

tile_color

A numeric that sets the tile's attribute border color.

tile_fill

A string that sets the fill color attribute for the tile.

label_sz

A numeric that sets the size of the label.

label_color

A string that sets the label's color.

label_fontface

A string that sets the label's font face. Acceptable values are "plain", "bold", "italic", "bold.italic".

label_alpha

A numeric that sets the label's alpha value.

title

A string that sets the plot title.

subtitle

A string that sets the plot subtitle.

caption

A string that sets the plot caption

center_titles

A logical which if TRUE centers both the title and subtitle.

x_title

A string that sets the x axis title. If NULL (the default) then the x axis title does not appear.

y_title

A string that sets the y axis title. If NULL (the default) then the y axis title does not appear.

hide_x_tics

A logical that controls the appearance of the x axis tics.

hide_y_tics

A logical that controls the appearance of the y axis tics.

rot_x_tic_angle

A numeric that sets the angle of rotation for the x tic labels. When x tic labels are long, a value of 40 for this argument usually works well.

rot_y_tic_label

A logical which if TRUE rotates the y tic labels 90 degrees for enhanced readability.

x_limits

Depending on the class of aes_x, a numeric/Date/POSIXct 2 element vector that sets the minimum and maximum for the x axis. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum and maximum.

x_major_breaks

Depending on the class of aes_x, a numeric/Date/POSIXct vector or function that defines the exact major tic locations along the x axis.

x_minor_breaks

Depending on the class of aes_x, a numeric/Date/POSIXct vector or function that defines the exact minor tic locations along the x axis.

x_labels

A character vector with the same length as x_major_breaks, that labels the major tics.

x_major_date_breaks

If the class of aes_x is Date/POSIXct, a string containing the number and date unit for major breaks. "1 year", "4 sec", "3 month", "2 week".

x_minor_date_breaks

If the class of aes_x is Date/POSIXct, a string containing the number and date unit for minor breaks.

x_date_labels

If the class of aes_x is Date/POSIXct, a string containing the format codes, the strftime format, for the date. Examples: %Y-%m, %Y/%b/%d, %H-%M-%S

x_log10

A logical which if TRUE will use a log10 scale for the x axis.

y_limits

A numeric 2 element vector that sets the minimum and maximum for the y axis. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum and maximum.

y_major_breaks

A numeric vector or function that defines the exact major tic locations along the y axis.

y_minor_breaks

A numeric vector or function that defines the exact minor tic locations along the y axis.

y_labels

A character vector with the same length as y_major_breaks, that labels the major tics.

y_log10

A logical which if TRUE will use a log10 scale for the y axis.

x_y_decimals

A two element numeric vector that set the number of decimals for the x and y tic labels.

x_y_scientific

A two element logical vector that if TRUE uses scientific notation for the x and y tic labels.

axis_text_size

A numeric that sets the font size along the axis'. Default is 11.

panel_color

A string in hexidecimal or color name that sets the plot panel's color. The default is "white".

panel_border_color

A string in hexidecimal or color name that sets the plot panel's border color. The default is "black".

show_legend

A logical that controls the appearance of the legend.

legend_pos

A string that sets the legend position. Acceptable values are "top", "bottom", "left", "right".

legend_key_width

A numeric that sets the legend width in cm.

legend_key_height

A numeric that sets the legend height in cm.

legend_key_backgrd

A string that sets the legend's background color.

silent_NA_warning

A logical that controls the appearance of a console warning when Na's are removed.

png_file_path

A character string with the directory and file name to produce a png image of the plot.

png_width_height

A numeric vector that sets the width and height of the png image in pixels. The default is c(480,480). There are 37.8 pixels in a centimeter.

Value

A plot object
