R Documentation

Plot stacked bar plots to represent taxa compompositions

Description

Stacked bar plots will be generated for each factor level indicated by type_header to display their taxonomic compositions. Only the top few taxa will be displayed as indicated by num_taxa. Mean values are calculated within the factor levels.

Usage

plot_taxa_bars(
  tax_table,
  metadata_map,
  type_header,
  num_taxa,
  data_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

`tax_table`	A taxa table dataframe. The output of `summarize_taxonomy`.
`metadata_map`	The mapping file dataframe.
`type_header`	The factor (metadata header label) used to create the bars. Means will be taken for each factor level.
`num_taxa`	The number of top most abundant taxa to display. Additional will be grouped into "Other".
`data_only`	[OPTIONAL] Set to `TRUE` if you want the plotting data returned instead of the plot.
