geom_symbol: Symbols layer

In xiangpin/ggsymbol: Symbol Layer Based on 'ggplot2' and 'ggstar'

Description

geom_symbol provides the symbols layer to easily discernible shapes based on 'ggplot2' and 'ggstar', you can use it to create scatterplots, etc.

Usage

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

Arguments

mapping	Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes() or aes_(). If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.
data	The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options: If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot(). A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See fortify() for which variables will be created. A function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame, and will be used as the layer data. A function can be created from a formula (e.g. ~ head(.x, 10)).
na.rm	If 'FALSE', the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If 'TRUE', missing values are silently removed.
stat	The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.
position	Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.
show.legend	logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.
inherit.aes	If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders().
...	Other arguments passed on to layer.

Aesthetics

geom_symbol() understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):

• x

• y

• alpha

• angle

• colour

• fill

• group

• phase

• size

• stroke

• symbol

Learn more about setting these aesthetics in vignette("ggplot2-specs").

Examples

library(ggplot2) 
library(ggsymbol)
p <- ggplot(data=iris, aes(x=Petal.Length,y=Petal.Width)) +
     geom_symbol(aes(color=Species, symbol=Species)) 
p
