Create a series of circles plot

geom_series_circles() can be used as an alternative for single or multiple bar charts. It consists of using whole and fragments of circles to represent numerical values. As it draws circles, the geom should use with ggplot2::coord_equal() to maintain the "aspect ratio".

There are two are arguments absolutely needed in aes() mappings:

• x A vector mapping the abscissa axis x, i.e. a character vector when x is a numerical vector, or a numerical vector when y is a character vector.

• y A vector mapping the ordinate axis y, i.e. a numerical vector when x is a character vector or vice versa. There is a default mapping fill with value black to fill circles/fragments of circles with. It can be used in aes mapping or as a global argument for all the circles.

Usage

geom_series_circles(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  show.legend = NA,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  init_angle = 0,
  r = 0.5,
  color = NA,
  linewidth = 0.5,
  ...
)

Arguments

mapping

Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes() or aes_(). If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.

data

to be displayed in this layer

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. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.

na.rm

If FALSE, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If TRUE, missing values are silently removed.

inherit.aes

If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them.

init_angle

Circle drawing starting angle.

r

Circle radius, should be <= 0.5.

color

Color of circles/fragments of circles borders.

linewidth

Size of circles/fragments of circles borders.

...

other arguments passed on to layer().

Value

A ggplot2 layer.

Examples

my_df <- data.frame(cat = c("Apple", "Banana", "Pineapple"), val = c(2.65, 4.5, 6.25))
my_df |>
  ggplot2::ggplot() +
  geom_series_circles(ggplot2::aes(cat, val)) +
  ggplot2::coord_equal()
