geom_point_interactive: Create interactive points

In ggiraph: Make 'ggplot2' Graphics Interactive

Create interactive points

Description

The geometry is based on ggplot2::geom_point(). See the documentation for those functions for more details.

Usage

geom_point_interactive(...)

Arguments

...	arguments passed to base function, plus any of the interactive_parameters.

Details for interactive geom functions

The interactive parameters can be supplied with two ways:

• As aesthetics with the mapping argument (via ggplot2::aes()). In this way they can be mapped to data columns and apply to a set of geometries.

• As plain arguments into the geom_*_interactive function. In this way they can be set to a scalar value.

Note

The following shapes id 3, 4 and 7 to 14 are composite symbols and should not be used.
