A line segment parameterised by location, direction and distance.

Usage

geom_spoke(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity", position = "identity", show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

mapping
Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes or aes_. If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You only need to supply mapping if there isn't a mapping defined for the plot.
data
A data frame. If specified, overrides the default data frame defined at the top level of the plot.
stat
The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.
position
Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.
show.legend
logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes.
inherit.aes
If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders.
...
Arguments to be passed to curveGrob.

Description

A line segment parameterised by location, direction and distance.

Aesthetics

geom_spoke understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):

  • angle
  • radius
  • x
  • y
  • alpha
  • colour
  • linetype
  • size

Examples

df <- expand.grid(x = 1:10, y=1:10) df$angle <- runif(100, 0, 2*pi) df$speed <- runif(100, 0, sqrt(0.1 * df$x)) ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_point() + geom_spoke(aes(angle = angle), radius = 0.5)

ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_point() + geom_spoke(aes(angle = angle, radius = speed))
