diamondPlot: Basic diamond plot construction function

Description

This function constructs a diamond plot using ggDiamondLayer. It's normally not necessary to call this function directly: instead, use meansDiamondPlot, meanSDtoDiamondPlot, and factorLoadingDiamondCIplot.

Usage

diamondPlot(data, ciCols = 1:3, colorCol = NULL, otherAxisCol = NULL, yValues = NULL, yLabels = NULL, ylab = NULL, autoSize = NULL, fixedSize = 0.15, xlab = "Effect Size Estimate", theme = theme_bw(), color = "black", ...)

Arguments

data

A dataframe (or matrix) containing lower bounds, centers (e.g. means), and upper bounds of intervals (e.g. confidence intervals).

ciCols

The columns in the dataframe with the lower bounds, centers (e.g. means), and upper bounds (in that order).

colorCol

The column in the dataframe containing the colors for each diamond, or a vector with colors (with as many elements as the dataframe has rows).

otherAxisCol

The column in the dataframe containing the values that determine where on the Y axis the diamond should be placed. If this is not available in the dataframe, specify it manually using yValues.

yValues

The values that determine where on the Y axis the diamond should be placed (can also be a column in the dataframe; in that case, use otherAxisCol.

yLabels

The labels to use for for each diamond (placed on the Y axis).

ylab

The label of the Y axis.

autoSize

Whether to make the height of each diamond conditional upon its length (the width of the confidence interval).

fixedSize

If not using relative heights, fixedSize determines the height to use.

xlab

The label of the X axis.

theme

The theme to use.

color

Color to use if colors are specified for each diamond.

...

Additional arguments will be passed to ggDiamondLayer.

Value

A ggplot plot with a ggDiamondLayer is returned.

Examples

Run this code

tmpDf <- data.frame(lo = c(1, 2, 3),
                    mean = c(1.5, 3, 5),
                    hi = c(2, 4, 10),
                    color = c('green', 'red', 'blue'));
                    
### A simple diamond plot
diamondPlot(tmpDf);

### A diamond plot using the specified colours
diamondPlot(tmpDf, colorCol = 4);

### A diamond plot using automatically generated colours
### using a gradient
diamondPlot(tmpDf, generateColors=c('green', 'red'));

### A diamond plot using automatically generated colours
### using a gradient, specifying the minimum and maximum
### possible values that can be attained
diamondPlot(tmpDf, generateColors=c('green', 'red'),
            fullColorRange=c(1, 10));
