legend_timecycle {colorist}

Make an HCL legend for a cyclical sequence of distributions

Description

This function creates a legend to accompany a map describing a cyclical sequence of distributions.

Usage

legend_timecycle(
  palette,
  specificity = TRUE,
  origin_label = NULL,
  label_i = "Maximum\nintensity",
  label_l = "Layer",
  label_s = c("Low specificity", "Moderate specificity", "High specificity"),
  return_df = FALSE
)

Arguments

palette

data frame containing a color palette generated by palette_timecycle.

specificity

logical indicating whether to visualize intensity and layer information for three specificity values (i.e., 0, 50, 100) or for a single specificity value (i.e., 100). Typically, a single specificity value is appropriate for map_multiples visualizations.

origin_label

character vector with a single element to be used as the label at the 12 o'clock position of the legend wheel.

label_i

character vector with a single element describing the meaning of intensity values.

label_l

character vector with a single element describing the meaning of layer values.

label_s

character vector with three elements describing differences in the meaning of three specificity values (i.e., 0, 50, 100).

return_df

logical indicating whether to return the legend as a ggplot2 object or return a data frame containing the necessary data to build the legend.

Value

A ggplot2 plot object of the legend. Alternatively, return_df = TRUE will return a data frame containing the data needed to build the legend. The data frame columns are:

• specificity: the degree to which intensity values are unevenly distributed across layers; mapped to chroma.

• layer_id: integer identifying the layer containing the maximum intensity value; mapped to hue.

• color: the hexadecimal color associated with the given layer and specificity values.

• intensity: maximum cell value across layers divided by the maximum value across all layers and cells; mapped to alpha level.
