panel.addScales {addScales}R Documentation

Default panelFUN For addScales.trellis

Description

Adds Labeled Midline and (Unlabeled) Lines or Shaded Regions Showing Plot Scaling to Trellis Panels.

Usage

   panel.addScales(
   scaleline = c(0,0),
   scaleType = c("line", "region"),
   ndig.midline = c(h = 2, v = 2),
   col.midline = "red",
   adj.midline = c(-0.1, -0.25),
   midline.aes = list(lwd = if(colCode == "n") 1.5 else 3),
   midline.label.aes =list(
      col = if(colCode == "n")col.midline else "black",
      fontface = "bold",
      cex = .8),
   scaleline.aes = list(lty = "dashed", col = "purple"),
   region.aes = list(fill = "tan", alpha = .20),
   colCode = c("n", "m", "r"),
   palette =  hcl.colors(n = 100, "Viridis"),
   ...
   )

Arguments

scaleline

A numeric vector of length 1 or 2 giving the distance from the scalelines to the midline(s); or equivalently, the half width(s) of the shaded scale regions. Signs are ignored. If two values are given, the first is the (vertical) distance to the horizontal midline and the second is the (horizontal) distance to the vertical midline. If a single value is given,it is assumed to be the first and the second is 0. 0 or NA mean: don't add that scaleline/region and midline.

scaleType

Whether the scale distance from the midline is shown by scale lines or as a shaded region. Note: Use of shaded regions requires that the graphics device support alpha transparency. Regions will not be shown properly – or at all – if it does not.

ndig.midline

Named or unnamed pair of integer arguments, or a single integer that will be replicated. The names must be (and are assumed to be if unnamed) "h" and "v" in that order and give the number of significant digits to show in the midline labels for the corresponding midlines. Non-integer values are rounded to integer, and values outside the range of 0 to 15digits are converted to 2. However, see the Details section below for a caveat.

col.midline

Midline color. Can be given in any form suitable for the base col parameter of par.

adj.midline

numeric: The adj vector of length two that will be fed to panel.text to position the midline label with respect to the midline. c(.5,.5) centers the label on the midline and lower limit of the relevant axis (x-axis for a horizontal midline, so left-center; and y-axis for a vertical midline, so bottom-center). See the base text function for details.

midline.aes

List of aesthetics of midline: lwd, lty, alpha, but not col, as this is already specified in the col.midline argument.

midline.label.aes

List of aesthetics of the midline label: col, cex, font, fontface, etc., but not adj, as this is handled by adj.midline. See panel.text for argument details.

scaleline.aes

List of aesthetics of the scale lines. Same as for midline.aes except that col can be specified.

region.aes

fill and alpha parameters for shaded scale region.

colCode

character: Should the midlines and possibly also the scale regions be color coded by the midline value in the range of all midline values? Doing this in addition to labeling their values can improve visual comparison of midline levels among the panels. "m" means color code just the midlines; "r" means color code both midlines and scale regions; "n", the default, means do not color code.

palette

A vector of colors to use for color coding from low to high values. See heat.colors for how to conveniently specify color palettes.

...

Additional arguments passed down to the panel function, mostly ignored here. But see the note below for an exception.

Details

Midline values with significant digits that change precision by “small” amounts relative to the scaleline values are zapped by the zapsmall() function to remove extra digits in the display to improve readability. For example, a midline value of 1.23 would be shown as 1 when ndig.midline = 2 and scaleline = 100.

Value

No value is returned. This panel function is added to the existing panel function component of the trellis object on which addScales dispatches. It adds midline(s) and scale lines or regions to the panels when they are plotted.

Note

A list, all.panel.limits = list(h = obj$y.limits, v = obj$x.limits) with these components of the trellis object list is always passed to the panel function (as part of the ... list). This makes available all panel limits to the panel function, not just those of its own panel. This list is used for color coding midlines and/or scale regions, but is ignored otherwise here. Alternative panel functions may choose to use this information in other ways.

Note

For the xxx.aes arguments, when the user explicitly specifies the list, any component not specified will default to its formal ⁠panel.addScales⁠ argument value if that exists, or to the relevant panel function default if not, i.e. panel.refline for the lines and panel.text for the labels.
