simulate_aes_string {WVPlots}

Simulate the deprecated ggplot2::aes_string().

Description

Use to allow replacing code of the form ggplot2::aes_string(...) with code of the form ggplot2::aes(!!!simulate_aes_string(...)). Purpose is to get out of the way of the deprecation and possible future removal of ggplot2::aes_string(). Inspired by the research of https://stackoverflow.com/a/74424353/6901725.

Usage

simulate_aes_string(...)

Arguments

...

named string arguments to turn into symbols using 'rlang::data_sym()'.

Value

some rlang NSE that simulates string values at great complexity (but needed for newer ggplot2()).

Examples

if (requireNamespace('data.table', quietly = TRUE)) {
	# don't multi-thread during CRAN checks
		data.table::setDTthreads(1)
}

d <- data.frame(x = c(1, 2, 3), y = c(4, 5, 6))
xvar <- 'x'  # the idea is, this is passed in and not known at coding time
yvar <- 'y'
# what we want:
#  ggplot2::ggplot(data = d, mapping = ggplot2::aes_string(x = xvar, y = yvar)) +
#     ggplot2::geom_point()
# The required "tidy evaluation ideoms[sic] with `aes()`".
ggplot2::ggplot(data = d, mapping = ggplot2::aes(!!!simulate_aes_string(x = xvar, y = yvar))) +
   ggplot2::geom_point()
