scale_color_geo: Geological Time Scale color scales

Description

Color scales using the colors in the Geological Time Scale graphics.

Usage

scale_color_geo(dat, ...)
scale_fill_geo(dat, ...)
scale_discrete_geo(dat, aesthetics, ...)

Arguments

dat

Either A) a string indicating a built-in dataframe with interval data from the ICS ("periods", "epochs", "stages", "eons", or "eras"), B) a string indicating a timescale from macrostrat (see list here: https://macrostrat.org/api/defs/timescales?all), or C) a custom data.frame of time interval boundaries (see coord_geo()).

Arguments passed on to ggplot2::discrete_scale

scale_name

The name of the scale that should be used for error messages associated with this scale.

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.

minor_breaks

One of:

• NULL for no minor breaks

• waiver() for the default breaks (none for discrete, one minor break between each major break for continuous)

• A numeric vector of positions

• A function that given the limits returns a vector of minor breaks. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation. When the function has two arguments, it will be given the limits and major break positions.

labels

One of the options below. Please note that when labels is a vector, it is highly recommended to also set the breaks argument as a vector to protect against unintended mismatches.

• 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)

• An expression vector (must be the same length as breaks). See ?plotmath for details.

• A function that takes the breaks as input and returns labels as output. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

limits

One of:

• NULL to use the default scale values

• A character vector that defines possible values of the scale and their order

• A function that accepts the existing (automatic) values and returns new ones. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

na.translate

Unlike continuous scales, discrete scales can easily show missing values, and do so by default. If you want to remove missing values from a discrete scale, specify na.translate = FALSE.

na.value

If na.translate = TRUE, what aesthetic value should the missing values be displayed as? Does not apply to position scales where NA is always placed at the far right.

drop

Should unused factor levels be omitted from the scale? The default, TRUE, uses the levels that appear in the data; FALSE includes the levels in the factor. Please note that to display every level in a legend, the layer should use show.legend = TRUE.

guide

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

call

The call used to construct the scale for reporting messages.

super

The super class to use for the constructed scale

aesthetics

Character string or vector of character strings listing the name(s) of the aesthetic(s) that this scale works with. This can be useful, for example, to apply colour settings to the colour and fill aesthetics at the same time, via aesthetics = c("colour", "fill").

Examples

library(ggplot2)
df <- data.frame(
  x = runif(1000, 0, 10), y = runif(1000, 0, 10),
  color = sample(periods$name, 1000, TRUE), shape = 21
)
ggplot(df) +
  geom_point(aes(x = x, y = y, fill = color), shape = 21) +
  scale_fill_geo("periods", name = "Period") +
  theme_classic()

# cut continuous variable into discrete
df <- data.frame(x = runif(1000, 0, 1000), y = runif(1000, 0, 8))
df$color <- cut(df$x, c(periods$min_age, periods$max_age[22]), periods$name)
ggplot(df) +
  geom_point(aes(x = x, y = y, color = color)) +
  scale_x_reverse() +
  scale_color_geo("periods", name = "Period") +
  coord_geo(xlim = c(1000, 0), ylim = c(0, 8)) +
  theme_classic()
