- data
A data.frame containing the data to be plotted.
- response
A character specifying the response variable that
is to be plotted on the y-axis.
- individuals
A character giving the name of the
factor that defines the subsets of the data
for which each subset corresponds to the response values for
an individual (e.g. plant, pot, cart, plot or unit).
- times
A character giving the name of the column in
data containing the times at which the data was collected,
either as a numeric, factor, or
character. If not a numeric, it will be
converted to a numeric and used to provide the values
to be plotted on the x-axis. If a factor or
character, the values should be numerics stored as
characters.
- x
A character specifying a variable, or a function of
variables, to be plotted on the x-axis. If NULL, it will be
set to the value of times, which it can be assumed will be
converted to a numeric.
- x.title
Title for the x-axis.
- y.title
Title for the y-axis.
- title
Title for the plot.
- facet.x
A data.frame giving the variable to be used to
form subsets to be plotted in separate columns of plots.
Use "." if a split into columns is not wanted.
- facet.y
A data.frame giving the variable to be used to
form subsets to be plotted in separate rows of plots.
Use "." if a split into rows is not wanted.
- labeller
A ggplot function for labelling the
facets of a plot produced using the ggplot function.
For more information see ggplot.
- scales
A character specifying whether the scales are shared
across all facets of a plot (the default, "fixed"), or do they vary across
rows ("free_x"), columns ("free_y"), or both rows and columns ("free")?
- breaks.spacing.x
A numeric whose absolute values specifies the
distance between major breaks for the x-axis in a sequence beginning with the
minimum x value and continuing up to the maximum x value. If it is negative,
the breaks that do not have x values in data will be omitted.
Minor breaks will be at half major break value or, if these do not correspond to
x-values in data when breaks.spacing.x is negative, have
a spacing of one. Thus, when breaks.spacing.x is negative,
grid lines will only be included for x-values that occur in data.
These settings can be overwritten by supplying, in ggplotFuncs,
a scale_x_continuous function from ggplot2.
- angle.x
A numeric between 0 and 360 that gives the angle of the
x-axis text to the x-axis. It can also be set by supplying, in
ggplotFuncs, a theme function from ggplot2.
- colour
A character specifying a single colour to use in
drawing the lines for the profiles. If colouring according to the
values of a variable is required then use colour.column.
- colour.column
A character giving the name of a column
in data over whose values the colours of the lines are to be
varied. The colours can be specified using colour.values.
- colour.values
A character vector specifying the values of
the colours to use in drawing the lines for the profiles.
If this is a named vector, then the values will be matched based
on the names. If unnamed, values will be matched in order
(usually alphabetical) with the limits of the scale.
- alpha
A numeric specifying the degrees of transparency to
be used in plotting. It is a ratio in which the denominator
specifies the number of points (or lines) that must be overplotted
to give a solid cover.
- addMediansWhiskers
A logical indicating whether plots over
time of the medians and outer whiskers are to be added to the plot.
The outer whiskers are related to the whiskers on a box-and-whisker
and are defined as the median plus (and minus) 1.5 times the
interquartile range (IQR). Points lying outside the whiskers are
considered to be potential outliers.
- ggplotFuncs
A list, each element of which contains the
results of evaluating a ggplot function.
It is created by calling the list function with
a ggplot function call for each element.
These functions are applied in creating the ggplot
object.
- printPlot
A logical indicating whether or not to print the
plot.
