Filled 2d contours of a 3d surface

Description

While ggplot2's geom_contour can plot nice contours, it doesn't work with the polygon geom. This stat makes some small manipulation of the data to ensure that all contours are closed and also computes a new aesthetic int.level, which differs from level (computed by ggplot2::geom_contour) in that represents the value of the z aesthetic inside the contour instead of at the edge. It also computes breaks globally instead of per panel, so that faceted plots have all the same binwidth.

Usage

geom_contour_fill(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "ContourFill",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  breaks = MakeBreaks(),
  bins = NULL,
  binwidth = NULL,
  proj = NULL,
  proj.latlon = TRUE,
  clip = NULL,
  kriging = FALSE,
  global.breaks = TRUE,
  na.fill = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

stat_contour_fill(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  geom = "polygon",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  breaks = MakeBreaks(),
  bins = NULL,
  binwidth = NULL,
  global.breaks = TRUE,
  proj = NULL,
  proj.latlon = TRUE,
  clip = NULL,
  kriging = FALSE,
  na.fill = 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. When using a `⁠geom_*()⁠` function to construct a layer, the `stat` argument can be used the override the default coupling between geoms and stats. The `stat` argument accepts the following: A `Stat` ggproto subclass, for example `StatCount`. A string naming the stat. To give the stat as a string, strip the function name of the `stat_` prefix. For example, to use `stat_count()`, give the stat as `"count"`. For more information and other ways to specify the stat, see the layer stat documentation.
`position`	A position adjustment to use on the data for this layer. This can be used in various ways, including to prevent overplotting and improving the display. The `position` argument accepts the following: The result of calling a position function, such as `position_jitter()`. This method allows for passing extra arguments to the position. A string naming the position adjustment. To give the position as a string, strip the function name of the `position_` prefix. For example, to use `position_jitter()`, give the position as `"jitter"`. For more information and other ways to specify the position, see the layer position documentation.
`...`	Other arguments passed on to `layer()`'s `params` argument. These arguments broadly fall into one of 4 categories below. Notably, further arguments to the `position` argument, or aesthetics that are required can not be passed through `...`. Unknown arguments that are not part of the 4 categories below are ignored. Static aesthetics that are not mapped to a scale, but are at a fixed value and apply to the layer as a whole. For example, `colour = "red"` or `linewidth = 3`. The geom's documentation has an Aesthetics section that lists the available options. The 'required' aesthetics cannot be passed on to the `params`. Please note that while passing unmapped aesthetics as vectors is technically possible, the order and required length is not guaranteed to be parallel to the input data. When constructing a layer using a `⁠stat_()⁠` function, the `...` argument can be used to pass on parameters to the `geom` part of the layer. An example of this is `stat_density(geom = "area", outline.type = "both")`. The geom's documentation lists which parameters it can accept. Inversely, when constructing a layer using a `⁠geom_()⁠` function, the `...` argument can be used to pass on parameters to the `stat` part of the layer. An example of this is `geom_area(stat = "density", adjust = 0.5)`. The stat's documentation lists which parameters it can accept. The `key_glyph` argument of `layer()` may also be passed on through `...`. This can be one of the functions described as key glyphs, to change the display of the layer in the legend.
`breaks`	numeric vector of breaks
`bins`	Number of evenly spaced breaks.
`binwidth`	Distance between breaks.
`proj`	The projection to which to project the contours to. It can be either a projection string or a function to apply to the whole contour dataset.
`proj.latlon`	Logical indicating if the projection step should project from a cartographic projection to a lon/lat grid or the other way around.
`clip`	A simple features object to be used as a clip. Contours are only drawn in the interior of this polygon.
`kriging`	Whether to perform ordinary kriging before contouring. Use this if you want to use contours with irregularly spaced data. If `FALSE`, no kriging is performed. If `TRUE`, kriging will be performed with 40 points. If a numeric, kriging will be performed with `kriging` points.
`global.breaks`	Logical indicating whether `breaks` should be computed for the whole data or for each grouping.
`na.fill`	How to fill missing values. `FALSE` for letting the computation fail with no interpolation `TRUE` for imputing missing values with Impute2D A numeric value for constant imputation A function that takes a vector and returns a numeric (e.g. `mean`)
`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()`.
`geom`	The geometric object to use to display the data for this layer. When using a `⁠stat_*()⁠` function to construct a layer, the `geom` argument can be used to override the default coupling between stats and geoms. The `geom` argument accepts the following: A `Geom` ggproto subclass, for example `GeomPoint`. A string naming the geom. To give the geom as a string, strip the function name of the `geom_` prefix. For example, to use `geom_point()`, give the geom as `"point"`. For more information and other ways to specify the geom, see the layer geom documentation.

Aesthetics

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

x
y
alpha
colour
group
linetype
size
weight

Computed variables

level: An ordered factor that represents bin ranges.
level_d: Same as level, but automatically uses scale_fill_discretised()
level_low,level_high,level_mid: Lower and upper bin boundaries for each band, as well the mid point between the boundaries.

Examples



library(ggplot2)
surface <- reshape2::melt(volcano)
ggplot(surface, aes(Var1, Var2, z = value)) +
  geom_contour_fill() +
  geom_contour(color = "black", size = 0.1)

ggplot(surface, aes(Var1, Var2, z = value)) +

ggplot(surface, aes(Var1, Var2, z = value)) +
