extract_2d: Extracting information for our default/provided plot2d()

Description

Extracting information for our default/provided plot2d()

Usage

extract_2d(zargs)

Value

A list list with

x and y:

the data to be plotted in the 2d plot

xcols:

a list with all columns of x

groups:

the group numbers for each column of x

vars:

the variable numbers for each column of x

glabs:

the group labels for each column of x

vlabs:

the variable labels for each column of x

xlim and ylim:

the x-axis and y-axis limits, and

same.group:

a logical indicating whether the x and y variables belong to the same group.

Arguments

zargs

The argument list as passed from zenplot(). This must at least contain x, vars, num, lim and labs (for extract_2d()); see zenplot() for an explanation of these variables.

Details

This is an auxiliary function called on zargs within any 1d plotting function (e.g. hist_1d_grid, density_1d_graphics, or points_1d_loon) to extract the 1d data from zargs needed for plotting. For performance reasons, no checking of the input object is done.

Examples

## This function is used within the default (any user defined)
## 2d plot functions
##
my_2d_plot <- function(zargs, your_name = "BillyBob", ...) {
                   data_2d <- extract_2d(zargs)
                   msg <- paste("Components of zargs available",
                                "to construct a 2d plot for ",
                                your_name)
                   print(msg)
                   ## just print the names of the data components
                   ## which you might want to use in your plot
                   print(names(data_2d))

                   ## You can plot whatever you want using the information in
                   ## could use any of these to construct any 1d plot you want
                   ## using R's graphics or any of zemplot's built in 1d plots.
                   ##
                   ## For example, here we could use
                   ## use zenplot's base graphics functions
                   ## First a scatterplot
                   points_2d_graphics(zargs, ...)
                   ## to which we overlay density contours
                   density_2d_graphics(zargs, add = TRUE, col = "steelblue", ...)
                   ## similar functions could be called for the other packages.
                   ## You can print the source of anyone of the default functions
                   ## to get some idea of managing details.
                }

## And now try it out
zenplot(iris, plot2d = my_2d_plot)
