geom_dl: geom dl

In tdhock/directlabels: Direct Labels for Multicolor Plots

geom dl

Description

Geom that will plot direct labels.

Usage

geom_dl(mapping = NULL, 
    data = NULL, ..., 
    method = stop("must specify method= argument"), 
    debug = FALSE, stat = "identity", 
    position = "identity", 
    inherit.aes = TRUE)

Arguments

mapping	aes(label=variable_that_will_be_used_as_groups_in_Positioning_Methods).
data	data.frame to start with for direct label computation.
...	passed to params.
method	Positioning Method for direct label placement, passed to apply.method.
debug	Show directlabels debugging output?
stat	passed to layer.
position	passed to layer.
inherit.aes	inherit aes from global ggplot definition?

Examples

if(require(ggplot2)){
  vad <- as.data.frame.table(VADeaths)
  names(vad) <- c("age","demographic","deaths")
  ## color + legend
  leg <- ggplot(vad,aes(deaths,age,colour=demographic))+
    geom_line(aes(group=demographic))+
    xlim(8,80)
  print(direct.label(leg,list("last.points",rot=30)))
  ## this is what direct.label is doing internally:
  labeled <- leg+
    geom_dl(aes(label=demographic), method=list("last.points",rot=30))+
    scale_colour_discrete(guide="none")
  print(labeled)
  ## no color, just direct labels!
  p <- ggplot(vad,aes(deaths,age))+
    geom_line(aes(group=demographic))+
    geom_dl(aes(label=demographic),method="top.qp")
  print(p)
  ## add color:
  p+aes(colour=demographic)+
    scale_colour_discrete(guide="none")
  ## add linetype:
  p+aes(linetype=demographic)+
    scale_linetype(guide="none")
  ## no color, just direct labels
  library(nlme)
  bwbase <- ggplot(BodyWeight,aes(Time,weight,label=Rat))+
    geom_line(aes(group=Rat))+
    facet_grid(.~Diet)
  bw <- bwbase+geom_dl(method="last.qp")
  print(bw)
  ## add some more direct labels
  bw2 <- bw+geom_dl(method="first.qp")
  print(bw2)
  ## add color
  colored <- bw2+aes(colour=Rat)+
    scale_colour_discrete(guide="none")
  print(colored)
  ## or just use direct.label if you use color:
  direct.label(bwbase+aes(colour=Rat),dl.combine("first.qp","last.qp"))

  ## iris data example
  giris <- ggplot(iris,aes(Petal.Length,Sepal.Length))+
    geom_point(aes(shape=Species))
  giris.labeled <- giris+
    geom_dl(aes(label=Species),method="smart.grid")+
    scale_shape_manual(values=c(setosa=1,virginica=6,versicolor=3),
                       guide="none")
  ##png("~/R/directlabels/www/scatter-bw-ggplot2.png",h=503,w=503)
  print(giris.labeled)
  ##dev.off()
