--- title: "CKB style with ggplot" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette: fig_width: 4 fig_height: 4 toc: TRUE vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{CKB style with ggplot} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r, include = FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set( collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>", fig.width = 4, fig.height = 4, fig.align = "center", out.width = '50%' ) ``` ```{r setup, include = FALSE} library(ckbplotr) ``` `+ ckb_style()` does three things to a ggplot2 plot: 1. applies a CKB theme (i.e. change the overall appearance) 2. extends the plotting area and manually adds axis lines (so that you can have a custom sized gap between the plotting area and the axes) 3. applies a fixed aspect ratio ## Examples with a scatter plot Make a scatter plot with `ggplot`. ```{r a-plot} plot <- ggplot(data = mpg, aes(x = displ, y = hwy)) + geom_point(size = 1) plot ``` Use `+ ckb_style()` to apply a CKB theme, add separated axis lines and fix the aspect ratio. ```{r plot_like_ckb-example-0} plot + ckb_style() ``` Or apply just a CKB theme and use axis lines. ```{r theme} plot + theme_ckb() + theme(axis.line = element_line()) ``` ### Axis limits Set axis limits. ```{r plot_like_ckb-example-1} plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 8), ylims = c(10, 50)) ``` If you do not want a gap between the axes, set `gap = c(0, 0)`. ```{r plot_like_ckb-example-2} plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 8), ylims = c(10, 50), gap = c(0, 0)) ``` ### Aspect ratio and panel sizes Change the aspect ratio of the plot. ```{r aspect-ratio, fig.width = 6} plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 8), ylims = c(10, 50), ratio = 0.3) ``` Set the width of the plot (`width` controls the length of the x axis). ```{r width, fig.width = 6} plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 8), ylims = c(10, 50), ratio = 1.5, width = unit(4, "cm")) ``` ### Modifying the appearance of the plot The `colour` arguments of `theme_ckb()` and `ckb_style()` can be used to change the colour of the non-data components of the plot. ```{r colour} plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 8), ylims = c(10, 50), colour = "darkred") ``` The `plot.margin` arguments of `theme_ckb()` and `ckb_style()` can be used to adjust the margin around the plot. ```{r plotmargin} plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 8), ylims = c(10, 50), plot.margin = margin(2, 2, 2, 2, unit = "cm")) ``` If you wish to override some aspect of the theme applied by `ckb_style()` or `theme_ckb()`, then this can be done by adding a theme after `+ ckb_style()`, ```{r plot_like_ckb-example-3} plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 8), ylims = c(10, 50)) + theme(axis.title = element_text(colour = "red", face = "plain")) ``` ### Warning about axis limits If any data points you are plotting fall outside the axes, then they will still be drawn and may show up in places such as the axes, the legend, the plot title, or the plot margins. There is also no warning if data points fall outside the whole plot area. So it is best to check that your `xlim` and `ylim` values are suitable for your data before using the function. ```{r plot_like_ckb-example-4} # The xlim and ylim ranges are too narrow plot + ckb_style(xlims = c(0, 4), ylims = c(20, 50)) ``` ## Bar chart example ```{r bar-chart-example, fig.width = 6, out.width = '70%'} ggplot(mpg, aes(class)) + geom_bar() + ckb_style(xlims = c(0.5, 7.5), ylims = c(0, 70), gap = c(0.025, 0.005), ratio = 0.5) + theme(axis.ticks.x = element_blank()) ```
