Create a parallel coordinates plot

Description

Create a parallel coordinates plot. The input arguments for this functions are typically generated using bettrGetReady, which ensures that all required columns are available.

Usage

makeParCoordPlot(
  bettrList = NULL,
  plotdata,
  idCol,
  metricCol = "Metric",
  valueCol = "ScaledValue",
  metricGroupCol = "metricGroup",
  metricColors,
  idColors,
  methods = NULL,
  metricGrouping = "---",
  highlightMethod = NULL,
  labelSize = 10
)

Arguments

bettrList	A list, the output object from prepData. If bettrList is provided, arguments plotdata, scoredata, idCol, metricCol, valueCol, weightCol, scoreCol, metricGroupCol, metricInfo, metricColors, idInfo, idColors, metricCollapseGroup, metricGrouping and methods will be ignored and the corresponding values will be extracted from bettrList. This is the recommended way of calling the plotting functions, as it ensures compatibility of all components.
plotdata	A data.frame with columns representing methods, metrics, scores, and weights. Typically obtained as prepData$plotdata, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.
idCol	Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata and scoredata contains the method IDs.
metricCol	Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata contains the metric IDs. Typically, "Metric".
valueCol	Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata contains the metric values. Typically, "ScaledValue".
metricGroupCol	Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata contains the information about the metric group. Typically, "metricGroup".
metricColors	Named list with colors used for the metrics and any other metric annotations. Typically obtained as prepData$metricColors, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.
idColors	Named list with colors used for methods and any other method annotations. Typically obtained as prepData$idColors, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.
methods	Character vector containing the methods to include. If NULL (default), all methods will be used.
metricGrouping	Character scalar indicating the column of metricInfo that was used to group metrics. Typically obtained as prepData$metricGrouping, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.
highlightMethod	Character scalar indicating a method that should be highlighted in the plot.
labelSize	Numeric scalar providing the size of the labels in the plot.

Value

A ggplot object.

Examples

## Generate example data
df <- data.frame(Method = c("M1", "M2", "M3"), 
                 metric1 = c(1, 2, 3),
                 metric2 = c(3, 1, 2))
metricInfo <- data.frame(Metric = c("metric1", "metric2", "metric3"),
                         Group = c("G1", "G2", "G2"))
idInfo <- data.frame(Method = c("M1", "M2", "M3"), 
                     Type = c("T1", "T1", "T2"))
prepData <- bettrGetReady(df = df, idCol = "Method", 
                          metricInfo = metricInfo, idInfo = idInfo)
makeParCoordPlot(bettrList = prepData, highlightMethod = "M2")
