ggplot2 (version 2.0.0)

annotation_raster: Annotation: High-performance rectangular tiling.

Description

This is a special version of geom_raster optimised for static annotations that are the same in every panel. These annotations will not affect scales (i.e. the x and y axes will not grow to cover the range of the raster, and the raster must already have its own colours).

Usage

annotation_raster(raster, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, interpolate = FALSE)

Arguments

raster
raster object to display
xmin, xmax
x location (in data coordinates) giving horizontal location of raster
ymin, ymax
y location (in data coordinates) giving vertical location of raster
interpolate
If TRUE interpolate linearly, if FALSE (the default) don't interpolate.

Details

Most useful for adding bitmap images.

Examples

Run this code
# Generate data
rainbow <- matrix(hcl(seq(0, 360, length.out = 50 * 50), 80, 70), nrow = 50)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +
  geom_point() +
  annotation_raster(rainbow, 15, 20, 3, 4)
# To fill up whole plot
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +
  annotation_raster(rainbow, -Inf, Inf, -Inf, Inf) +
  geom_point()

rainbow2 <- matrix(hcl(seq(0, 360, length.out = 10), 80, 70), nrow = 1)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +
  annotation_raster(rainbow2, -Inf, Inf, -Inf, Inf) +
  geom_point()
rainbow2 <- matrix(hcl(seq(0, 360, length.out = 10), 80, 70), nrow = 1)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +
  annotation_raster(rainbow2, -Inf, Inf, -Inf, Inf, interpolate = TRUE) +
  geom_point()
