gf_qq: Formula interface to geom_qq()

In ggformula: Formula Interface to the Grammar of Graphics

Formula interface to geom_qq()

Description

gf_qq() an gf_qqstep() both create quantile-quantile plots. They differ in how they display the qq-plot. gf_qq() uses points and gf_qqstep() plots a step function through these points.

Usage

gf_qq(
  object = NULL,
  gformula = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  ...,
  group,
  distribution = stats::qnorm,
  dparams = list(),
  xlab,
  ylab,
  title,
  subtitle,
  caption,
  geom = "point",
  stat = "qq",
  position = "identity",
  show.legend = NA,
  show.help = NULL,
  inherit = TRUE,
  environment = parent.frame()
)

gf_qqline(
  object = NULL,
  gformula = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  ...,
  group,
  distribution = stats::qnorm,
  dparams = list(),
  linetype = "dashed",
  alpha = 0.7,
  xlab,
  ylab,
  title,
  subtitle,
  caption,
  geom = "path",
  stat = "qq_line",
  position = "identity",
  show.legend = NA,
  show.help = NULL,
  inherit = TRUE,
  environment = parent.frame()
)

gf_qqstep(
  object = NULL,
  gformula = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  ...,
  group,
  distribution = stats::qnorm,
  dparams = list(),
  xlab,
  ylab,
  title,
  subtitle,
  caption,
  geom = "step",
  stat = "qq",
  position = "identity",
  show.legend = NA,
  show.help = NULL,
  inherit = TRUE,
  environment = parent.frame()
)

Arguments

object	When chaining, this holds an object produced in the earlier portions of the chain. Most users can safely ignore this argument. See details and examples.
gformula	A formula with shape ~ sample. Facets can be added using |.
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)).
...	Additional arguments. Typically these are (a) ggplot2 aesthetics to be set with attribute = value, (b) ggplot2 aesthetics to be mapped with attribute = ~ expression, or (c) attributes of the layer as a whole, which are set with attribute = value.
group	Used for grouping.
distribution	Distribution function to use, if x not specified
dparams	Additional parameters passed on to distribution function.
xlab	Label for x-axis. See also gf_labs().
ylab	Label for y-axis. See also gf_labs().
title, subtitle, caption	Title, sub-title, and caption for the plot. See also gf_labs().
geom, stat	Use to override the default connection between geom_histogram()/geom_freqpoly() and stat_bin().
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.
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.
show.help	If TRUE, display some minimal help.
inherit	A logical indicating whether default attributes are inherited.
environment	An environment in which to look for variables not found in data.
linetype	A linetype (numeric or "dashed", "dotted", etc.) or a formula used for mapping linetype.
alpha	Opacity (0 = invisible, 1 = opaque).

Value

a gg object

Specifying plot attributes

Positional attributes (a.k.a, aesthetics) are specified using the formula in gformula. Setting and mapping of additional attributes can be done through the use of additional arguments. Attributes can be set can be set using arguments of the form attribute = value or mapped using arguments of the form attribute = ~ expression.

In formulas of the form A | B, B will be used to form facets using facet_wrap() or facet_grid(). This provides an alternative to gf_facet_wrap() and gf_facet_grid() that is terser and may feel more familiar to users of lattice.

Evaluation

Evaluation of the ggplot2 code occurs in the environment of gformula. This will typically do the right thing when formulas are created on the fly, but might not be the right thing if formulas created in one environment are used to create plots in another.

Examples

gf_qq(~ rnorm(100))
data(penguins, package = "palmerpenguins")
gf_qq(~ bill_length_mm | species, data = penguins) |> gf_qqline()
gf_qq(~ bill_length_mm | species, data = penguins) |> gf_qqline(tail = 0.10)
gf_qq(~bill_length_mm, color = ~species, data = penguins) |>
  gf_qqstep(~bill_length_mm, color = ~species, data = penguins)
