Re: [R] ggplot facet label font size

2006-08-09 Thread Walker, Sam
Thanks for the lattice help Gabor and Deepayan.

These snippets work well.  I've only been using R a few months and it
and the user community have exceeded my expectations.

Best Regards,

Re: [R] ggplot facet label font size

2006-08-04 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
With ggplot its possible to do this too but in that case it seems
necessary to recurse through the grobs.  Here we look for
grobs that have a label component which contains a colon
and grid.edit those changing the value of cex.  Note that
getNames() give a single grob named pretty and we start
from that:

# run code
library(ggplot)
library(grid)

p - ggplot(tips, sex ~ smoker, aesthetics=list(x=tip/total_bill))
gghistogram(p)

recurse - function(x) {
   if (!is.null(x$label)  regexpr(:, x$label)  0)
  grid.edit(x$name, gp = gpar(cex = 0.7))
   for (ch in x$children) recurse(ch)
}
recurse(grid.get(pretty))

Hi Sam,

 How do I change the font size in the facet labels along the edges of the
 plot?

Unfortunately, you can't currently change the size of those fonts.
However, it is on my todo list (as well as completely custom strip
functions) and should be available in the near future.

One thing you could do is have a look at ggopt, where you can at least
change the strip text, if not the size.

Re: [R] ggplot facet label font size

2006-08-03 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
Just sending this to you.  One thing that might be easy to do
yet give a lot of flexibility is to:

1. put meaningful names on the grobs.  Even with just this it would be
possible to do a getNames() in grid and then from inspection grid.edit
the appropriate one(s).
2. create a routine that retrieves grobs so one does not have to use
getNames with grep.

trellis.focus and friends do this in lattice.

Regards.

 couldn't find the equivalent in ggplot.

 The reason I'm asking is I have a 9x7 array of plots which I've been
 plotting with lattice.  I wanted to use ggplot because I like having the
 labels on the edge of the plots

Note that lattice can do that by using custom strip functions:

library(ggplot) # data resides here
library(lattice)

my.strip - function(which.given, which.panel, ...)
   if (which.given == 1  which.panel[2] == 2)
  strip.default(which.given, which.panel, ...)

my.strip.left - function(which.given, which.panel, ..., horizontal)
   if (which.given == 2  which.panel[1] == 1)
  strip.default(which.given, which.panel, horizontal = FALSE, ...)

histogram(~ tip/total_bill | sex + smoker, tips, strip = my.strip,
 strip.left = my.strip.left, par.settings = list(add.text =
list(cex = 0.7)))
