Guide gizmo: kernel density estimate

This guide displays a kernel density estimate (KDE) of the aesthetic. If the aesthetic is colour or fill, the shape will reflect this.

Usage

gizmo_density(
  key = "sequence",
  density = NULL,
  density.args = list(),
  density.fun = stats::density,
  just = 0.5,
  oob = "keep",
  alpha = NA,
  theme = NULL,
  position = waiver(),
  direction = NULL
)

Arguments

key

A sequence key or binned key specification.

density

One of the following:

• NULL for using kernel density estimation on the data values (default).

• a <numeric> vector to feed to the density.fun function.

• A named <list> with x and y numeric elements of equal length, such as one returned by using the density() function. Please note that <list> input is expected in scale-transformed space, not original data space.

density.args

A <list> with additional arguments to the density.fun argument. Only applies when density is not provided as a <list>. already.

density.fun

A <function> to use for kernel density estimation when the density argument is not provided as a list already.

just

A <numeric[1]> between 0 and 1. Use 0 for bottom- or left-aligned densities, use 1 for top- or right-aligned densities and 0.5 for violin shapes.

oob

An out-of-bounds handling function that affects the cap colour. Can be one of the following:

• A <function> like oob_squish.

• A <character[1]> naming such a function without the 'oob'-prefix, such as "keep".

alpha

A <numeric[1]> between 0 and 1 setting the colour transparency of the bar. Use NA to preserve the alpha encoded in the colour itself.

theme

A <theme> object to style the guide individually or differently from the plot's theme settings. The theme argument in the guide overrides and is combined with the plot's theme.

position

A <character[1]> giving the location of the guide. Can be one of "top", "bottom", "left" or "right".

direction

A <character[1]> indicating the direction of the guide. Can be on of "horizontal" or "vertical".

Value

A <GizmoDensity> object.

Details

Non-finite values such as NA and NaN are ignored while infinite values such as -Inf and Inf are squished to the limits.

Examples

# A standard plot
p <- ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, colour = cty)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_colour_viridis_c()

# Density from plot data
p + guides(colour = gizmo_density())


# Using bins instead of gradient
p + guides(colour = gizmo_density("bins"))


# Providing custom values to compute density of
p + guides(colour = gizmo_density(density = runif(1000, min = 5, max = 35)))


# Providing a precomputed density
p + guides(colour = gizmo_density(density = density(mpg$cty, adjust = 0.5)))


# Alternatively, parameters may be passed through density.args
p + guides(colour = gizmo_density(density.args = list(adjust = 0.5)))
