A color legend in the style of a dashboard meter

Usage

guide_colormeter(
  title = ggplot2::waiver(),
  title.theme = NULL,
  label.theme = NULL,
  legend_size = unit(5, "lines"),
  legend_padding = unit(c(1.2, 1, 0.3, 1), "lines"),
  title_position = c(0, 0),
  arc_range = c(-4/7 * pi, 4/7 * pi),
  arc_radius = 1,
  arc_width = arc_radius/4,
  arc_gap = arc_radius/5,
  arc_rounding = 0,
  label_radius = arc_radius * 1.25,
  dashboard_radius = label_radius * 1.2,
  dashboard_color = "black",
  dashboard_fill = NA,
  dashboard_linewidth = 0.5,
  dashboard_linetype = 1,
  clip_dashboard = TRUE,
  close_dashboard = clip_dashboard,
  frame_color = NA,
  frame_linewidth = 0.5,
  frame_linetype = 1,
  aspect.ratio = 1,
  show.limits = NULL,
  debug = FALSE,
  reverse = FALSE,
  available_aes = c("colour", "color", "fill"),
  ...
)

Arguments

title

A character string or expression indicating a title of guide. If NULL, the title is not shown. By default (waiver()), the name of the scale object or the name specified in labs() is used for the title.

title.theme

A theme object for rendering the title text. Usually the object of element_text() is expected. By default, the theme is specified by legend.title in theme() or theme.

label.theme

A theme object for rendering the label text. Usually the object of element_text() is expected. By default, the theme is specified by legend.text in theme().

legend_size

Size of the legend box.

legend_padding

Spacing between the color meter and the legend boundary.

title_position

<legend-coords> 2-length vector for the x/y-position of the legend title.

arc_range

<legend-coords> 2-length vector for the start and end angles of the color meter.

arc_radius

<legend-coords> Radius of the color meter.

arc_width

<legend-coords> Width of the arcs in the color meter.

arc_gap

<legend-coords> Gap between arcs in the color meter.

arc_rounding

<legend-coords> Rounding of arcs in the color meter.

label_radius

<legend-coords> Radius of the labels.

dashboard_radius

<legend-coords> Radius of the dashboard background.

dashboard_color

Dashboard background color.

dashboard_fill

Dashboard background fill.

dashboard_linewidth

Dashboard background line width.

dashboard_linetype

Dashboard background line type.

clip_dashboard

Whether the dashboard circle should clip to the legend boundary.

close_dashboard

Whether the dashboard should be closed where it meets the legend boundary.

frame_color

Color of the frame drawn around the arcs.

frame_linewidth

Width of the frame drawn around the arcs.

frame_linetype

Line type of the frame drawn around the arcs.

aspect.ratio

Aspect ratio for the legend.

show.limits

Logical. Should the limits of the scale be shown with labels and ticks. Default is NULL meaning it will take the value from the scale. This argument is ignored if labels is given as a vector of values. If one or both of the limits is also given in breaks it will be shown irrespective of the value of show.limits.

debug

If TRUE, axes and origin for <legend-coords> are drawn over the legend for debugging.

reverse

logical. If TRUE the colourbar is reversed. By default, the highest value is on the top and the lowest value is on the bottom

available_aes

A vector of character strings listing the aesthetics for which a colourbar can be drawn.

...

Ignored.

Value

A guide object of class 'colormeter'

Examples

library(ggplot2)
# A standard plot
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(drat, hp)) +
  geom_point(aes(color = mpg))
# Colormeter guide for color scale
p +
  scale_color_viridis_c(
    option = "inferno",
    breaks = scales::breaks_pretty(10),
    guide = guide_colormeter()
  )
