geom_polygon_glyph: Add polygon glyphs on scatter plot

In z267xu/ggmulti: High Dimensional Data Visualization

Add polygon glyphs on scatter plot

Description

Each point glyph can be a polygon object. We provide some common polygon coords in polygon_glyph. Also, users can customize their own polygons.

Usage

geom_polygon_glyph(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  polygon_x,
  polygon_y,
  linewidth = 1,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

Arguments

mapping	Set of aesthetic mappings created by 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)).
stat	The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, either as a ggproto Geom subclass or as a string naming the stat stripped of the stat_ prefix (e.g. "count" rather than "stat_count")
position	Position adjustment, either as a string naming the adjustment (e.g. "jitter" to use position_jitter), or the result of a call to a position adjustment function. Use the latter if you need to change the settings of the adjustment.
...	Other arguments passed on to layer(). These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like colour = "red" or size = 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.
polygon_x	nested list of x-coordinates of polygons, one list element for each scatterplot point. If not provided, a point visual (geom_point()) will be displayed.
polygon_y	nested list of y-coordinates of polygons, one list element for each scatterplot point. If not provided, a point visual (geom_point()) will be displayed.
linewidth	line width of the "glyph" object
na.rm	If FALSE, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If TRUE, missing values are silently removed.
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().

Value

a geom layer

Aesthetics

geom_..._glyph() understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):

• x

• y

• alpha

• colour

• fill

• group

• size

• linetype

• shape

• stroke

The size unit is cm

Note that the shape and stroke do not have real meanings unless the essential argument polygon_x or polygon_y is missing. If so, a point visual will be displayed with corresponding shape and stroke.

Examples

# polygon glyph
p <- ggplot(data = data.frame(x = 1:4, y = 1:4),
            mapping = aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_polygon_glyph(polygon_x = list(x_star, x_cross, x_hexagon, x_airplane),
                     polygon_y = list(y_star, y_cross, y_hexagon, y_airplane),
                     colour = 'black', fill = 'red')
p

# the coords of each polygons can be achieved by calling function `ggplot_build`
build <- ggplot2::ggplot_build(p)
polygon_x <- build$data[[1]]$polygon_x
polygon_y <- build$data[[1]]$polygon_y
