scale_x_S4_continuous and scale_y_S4_continuous are the analogues of scale_x_continuous and scale_y_continuous. They are the default scales for S4 data classes.

scale_x_S4_continuous(
  name = waiver(),
  breaks = waiver(),
  minor_breaks = waiver(),
  n.breaks = NULL,
  labels = waiver(),
  minor_labels = waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  expand = waiver(),
  oob = censorThis,
  na.value = NA_real_,
  trans = S4TransIdentity,
  guide = waiver(),
  position = "bottom",
  sec.axis = waiver()
)

scale_y_S4_continuous(
  name = waiver(),
  breaks = waiver(),
  minor_breaks = waiver(),
  n.breaks = NULL,
  minor_labels = waiver(),
  labels = waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  expand = waiver(),
  oob = censorThis,
  na.value = NA_real_,
  trans = S4TransIdentity,
  guide = waiver(),
  position = "left",
  sec.axis = waiver()
)

Arguments

name

The name of the scale. Used as the axis or legend title. If waiver(), the default, the name of the scale is taken from the first mapping used for that aesthetic. If NULL, the legend title will be omitted.

breaks

One of:

  • NULL for no breaks

  • waiver() for the default breaks computed by the transformation object

  • A numeric vector of positions

  • A function that takes the limits as input and returns breaks as output (e.g., a function returned by scales::extended_breaks())

minor_breaks

One of:

  • NULL for no minor breaks

  • waiver() for the default breaks (one minor break between each major break)

  • A numeric vector of positions

  • A function that given the limits returns a vector of minor breaks.

n.breaks

An integer guiding the number of major breaks. The algorithm may choose a slightly different number to ensure nice break labels. Will only have an effect if breaks = waiver(). Use NULL to use the default number of breaks given by the transformation.

labels

One of:

  • NULL for no labels

  • waiver() for the default labels computed by the transformation object

  • A character vector giving labels (must be same length as breaks)

  • A function that takes the breaks as input and returns labels as output

minor_labels

One of:

  • NULL for no minor labels.

  • waiver() for the default labels computed by the transformation object.

  • A character vector giving labels (must be same length as minor_breaks.)

  • A function that takes the minor breaks as input and returns labels as output.

Keep in mind that displaying the minor labels is dependent on wether the guide supports this and the default guide_axis() does not.

limits

One of:

  • NULL to use the default scale range

  • A numeric vector of length two providing limits of the scale. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum or maximum

  • A function that accepts the existing (automatic) limits and returns new limits Note that setting limits on positional scales will remove data outside of the limits. If the purpose is to zoom, use the limit argument in the coordinate system (see coord_cartesian()).

expand

For position scales, a vector of range expansion constants used to add some padding around the data to ensure that they are placed some distance away from the axes. Use the convenience function expansion() to generate the values for the expand argument. The defaults are to expand the scale by 5% on each side for continuous variables, and by 0.6 units on each side for discrete variables.

oob

One of:

na.value

Missing values will be replaced with this value.

trans

For continuous scales, the name of a transformation object or the object itself. Built-in transformations include "asn", "atanh", "boxcox", "date", "exp", "hms", "identity", "log", "log10", "log1p", "log2", "logit", "modulus", "probability", "probit", "pseudo_log", "reciprocal", "reverse", "sqrt" and "time".

A transformation object bundles together a transform, its inverse, and methods for generating breaks and labels. Transformation objects are defined in the scales package, and are called <name>_trans (e.g., scales::boxcox_trans()). You can create your own transformation with scales::trans_new().

guide

A function used to create a guide or its name. See guides() for more information.

position

For position scales, The position of the axis. left or right for y axes, top or bottom for x axes.

sec.axis

sec_axis() is used to specify a secondary axis.

Value

A ScaleS4 object.

Note

Note that by default, setting limits on positional scales will remove data outside of the limits. Change the oob argument to change this behaviour.
