geom_timeline: Plot a timeline of earthquakes within a given time frame

In perfectslumber/NOAAsignif: Visualize significant earthquake dataset from NOAA website

Description

This function utilizes the GeomTimeline geom to plot the earthquake events. In the provided example, the color aes reflects the number of deaths resulted from the earthquake with grey ones indicating no data available. The size aes reflects the magnitude of the eqrthquake. The X-axis is the date.

Usage

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

Arguments

mapping	Aesthetic mappings created by aes
data	Dataset from NOAA website
stat	The statistical transformation used
position	Position adjustment function
na.rm	Remove the NA values from the data frame
show.legend	Legend
inherit.aes	Default aesthetics
...	Other arguments

Value

The timeline plot.

Examples

#Pick data points ranging from date \code{xmin} to \code{xmax} from the cleaned dataset to plot
           ## Not run: eq_tidy_data <- eq_clean_data(eq_download_data())
           ## Not run: xmin <- as.Date("1999-01-01")
           ## Not run: xmax <- as.Date("2000-01-01")
           ## Not run: sample_data <- filter(eq_tidy_data, DATE >= xmin & DATE <= xmax)
           ## Not run: ggplot(sample_data,
                   aes(x = DATE, size = EQ_PRIMARY, fill = DEATHS, color = DEATHS)) +
                   geom_timeline() +
                   theme_minimal()
## End(Not run)
