geom_x_margin_grob: Add Grobs on the margins

Description

Marging points can supplement a 2d display with annotations. Marging points can highligth individual cases or values along a margin. The geometries geom_x_margin_grob() and geom_y_margin_grob() behave similarly geom_vline() and geom_hline() and share their "double personality" as both annotations and geometries.

Usage

geom_x_margin_grob(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  xintercept,
  sides = "b",
  grob.shift = 0,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = FALSE,
  inherit.aes = FALSE
)
geom_y_margin_grob(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  yintercept,
  sides = "l",
  grob.shift = 0,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = FALSE,
  inherit.aes = FALSE
)

Arguments

mapping

The aesthetic mapping, usually constructed with aes or aes_. Only needs to be set at the layer level if you are overriding the plot defaults.

data

A layer specific dataset - only needed if you want to override the plot defaults.

stat

The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.

position

Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.

...

other arguments passed on to layer. This can include aesthetics whose values you want to set, not map. See layer for more details.

xintercept, yintercept

numeric Parameters that control the position of the marginal points. If these are set, data, mapping and show.legend are overridden.

sides

A character string of length one that controls on which side of the plot the grob annotations appear on. It can be set to a string containing one of "t", "r", "b" or "l", for top, right, bottom, and left.

grob.shift

numeric value expressed in npc units for the shift of the marginal grob inwards from the edge of the plotting area.

na.rm

If FALSE (the default), removes missing values with a warning. If TRUE silently removes missing values.

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.

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.

Value

A plot layer instance.
