a data frame (with numeric and/or categorical variables). |

Elements of spec
can include:
xvar, yvar, zvar
variables (or expressions) for the x, y and z axes.
If all are missing, a hypervariate plot is produced according to
defaultPlot
(see below).
Note that x or y may be discretized by setting doXDisc
or
doYDisc
(see below).
groups
a grouping variable or color-coding covariate. This can refer to either a categorical or numeric variable. Many plot types support continuous color covariates, in which case a colorkey will be drawn. For categorical groups a standard key will be drawn.
cond, cond2
conditioning variables. These will be turned into shingles if required,
with nLevels
distinct levels (see below).
subset
subset expression.
varSubset
a character vector, the subset of variables (from the data frame) to include in hypervariate plots.
defaultPlot
one of "marginal.plot", "splom" or "parallel". Specifies the type
of plot to produce if xvar
and yvar
are
missing. Note that groups
is supported by all these plots,
and cond
is supported by "splom" and "parallel".
NOTE: when the data is a table
, "parallel" does
not produce a parallel
plot, but rather a stacked
barchart
of the table.
Also when the data is a table
, "splom" produces a
pairs
layout of mosaic
plots.
aspect
panel aspect ratio, as a numeric value (= y / x), or one of the values "fill", "iso", "xy".
doLines
whether to add lines to relevant plot types (i.e. those involving
numeric variables).
For dotplot
and cloud
this refers to droplines (type
"h"
) (though if groups are defined in a dotplot
, type
"l"
is used).
In a grouped stripplot
, group medians are joined (type
"a"
, fun = median
).
For qqmath
the points are joined in order (type "l"
).
For xyplot
and similar, the line type depends on the nature
of the data; if the data x values form a regular sequence or are
few in number they are simply joined (type "l"
);
if duplicate x values are detected, with a reasonable number of
unique values, their averages are joined (type "a"
);
otherwise a smoothing line is added according to
latticist.getOption("xyLineType")
. This defaults to
"smooth"
(loess fit), but could reasonably be set to
"r"
(regression line) or "a"
(joined averages).
doHexbin
whether to use hexbinplot
rather than xyplot
for
bivariate numeric plots. These can be faster and more effective
for large datasets. Note that groups are not supported.
doSegments
, doAsError
if doSegments
is TRUE when all of xvar
, yvar
and zvar
are defined, a segplot
is produced where
the x values are joined to z values by horizontal
segments. Alternatively, if doAsError
is TRUE, segments are
drawn from (x - z)
to (x + z)
, and each x point is
marked, such that z acts as an error or range about x.
doTile
when drawing a bivariate numeric plot with a color-covariate
(i.e. when xvar
, yvar
and groups
are all
numeric), this option will draw a tileplot
, which draws a
polygon enclosing each point. This may be appropriate when x and y
are on the same scale.
doXDisc
, doYDisc
set to discretize xvar
and/or yvar
, if they are
numeric. Either cut
or equal.count
is used,
depending on the plot type, with nLevels
distinct levels.
nLevels
number of levels for discretizing cond
and cond2
,
optionally xvar
or yvar
, and in some cases
groups
. For shingles, the amount of overlap is taken from
latticist.getOption("shingle.overlap")
.
x.relation
, y.relation
defines the scales in conditioned lattice plots. Can have values in "free", "same" or "sliced".
doSeparateStrata
when a mosaic
plot is produced and cond
or
cond2
are defined, this defines whether to separate the
strata defined by conditioning variables into different panels
(the default; uses cotabplot
), or to include the
conditioning variables in the one mosaic plot
(doSeparateStata = FALSE
).
Note that xvar, yvar, zvar, groups, cond, cond2, subset must be
character strings (or NULL), and will be parse
d.
latticistCompose
returns a call
.
