bubble: Create a bubble plot of spatial data

Description

Create a bubble plot of spatial data, with options for bicolour residual plots (xyplot wrapper)

Usage

bubble(obj, zcol = 1, ..., fill = TRUE, maxsize = 3, do.sqrt = TRUE, pch, 
	col = c(2,3), key.entries = quantile(data[,zcol]), main, 
	identify = FALSE, labels = row.names(data.frame(obj)), key.space = "right",
	scales = list(draw = FALSE), xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL)

Arguments

obj
object of, or extending, class SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialGridDataFrame, see coordinates or SpatialPointsDataFrame; the object knows about its spatial coord
zcol
z-variable column name, or column number after removing spatial coordinates from x@data: 1 refers to the first non-coordinate column
fill
logical; if TRUE, filled circles are plotted (pch = 16), else open circles (pch = 1); the pch argument overrides this
maxsize
cex value for largest circle
do.sqrt
logical; if TRUE the plotting symbol area (sqrt(diameter)) is proportional to the value of the z-variable; if FALSE, the symbol size (diameter) is proportional to the z-variable
pch
plotting character
col
colours to be used; numeric vector of size two: first value is for negative values, second for positive values.
key.entries
the values that will be plotted in the key; by default the five quantiles min, q.25, median q.75, max
main
main plotting title
identify
logical; if true, regular plot is called instead of xyplot, and followed by a call to identify().
labels
labels argument passed to plot if identify is TRUE
...
arguments, passed to xyplot, or plot if identification is required.
key.space
location of the key
scales
scales argument as passed to xyplot
xlab
x-axis label
ylab
y-axis label

Value

  • returns (or plots) the bubble plot; if identify is TRUE, returns the indexes (row numbers) of identified points.

Examples

Run this code
data(meuse)
coordinates(meuse) <- c("x", "y") # promote to SpatialDataFrame
bubble(meuse, "cadmium", maxsize = 2.5, main = "cadmium concentrations (ppm)", 
    key.entries = 2^(-1:4))
bubble(meuse, "zinc", main = "zinc concentrations (ppm)",
    key.entries =  100 * 2^(0:4))
