geom_sketch_alluvial: Sketchy alluvial / Sankey diagram

Description

Draws a hand-drawn alluvial diagram: two or more categorical axes, each a stack of strata (boxes), connected by flows (ribbons) whose thickness is the frequency of each category combination. Like geom_sketch_chord() it is a constructor that returns a list of ordinary sketch layers (roughened strata, roughened flow ribbons with smooth S-curved edges, and stratum labels), so it composes with + and any fill scale. It draws in ordinary x/y space; pair it with theme_void() or theme_sketch(). No new dependencies (cf. ggalluvial, ggsankey).

Usage

geom_sketch_alluvial(
  data,
  axes,
  value = NULL,
  fill = NULL,
  ...,
  box_width = 0.18,
  stratum_gap = 0.02,
  fill_style = "solid",
  alpha = 0.7,
  strata_fill = "grey85",
  label = TRUE,
  label_size = 3.5,
  label_colour = "grey20",
  roughness = 1,
  bowing = 1,
  n_passes = 2L,
  seed = NULL
)

Value

A list of ggplot2 layers.

Arguments

data

A wide data frame: one column per axis, one row per observation (or per group, with a value weight).

axes

Character vector of column names to use as axes, in order (at least two).

value

Optional column name giving each row's weight (NULL = 1 each).

fill

Optional column name whose category colours each flow (NULL = the first axis). Add scale_fill_sketch() or any fill scale to style it.

...

Other arguments passed on to the flow layer.

box_width

Width of the stratum boxes in x units. Default 0.18.

stratum_gap

Vertical gap between adjacent strata, as a fraction of the axis total. Default 0.02; 0 stacks them flush.

fill_style

Flow fill style; see geom_sketch_polygon(). Default "solid".

alpha

Flow opacity. Default 0.7.

strata_fill

Fill colour of the stratum boxes. Default "grey85".

label

Draw stratum labels? Default TRUE.

label_size, label_colour

Label text controls.

roughness, bowing, n_passes, seed

Sketch parameters.
