Treemap Bar Charts

ggplot2 geoms analogous to ggplot2::geom_bar() and ggplot2::geom_col() that allow for treemaps like with treemapify::geom_treemap() nested within each bar segment.

Usage

geom_treebar(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "count",
  position = "stack",
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  fixed = NULL,
  layout = "squarified",
  start = "bottomleft",
  ...
)

geom_treecol(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "stack",
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  fixed = NULL,
  layout = "squarified",
  start = "bottomleft",
  ...
)

Arguments

mapping

Set of aesthetic mappings created by 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

The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options:

If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().

A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See fortify() for which variables will be created.

A function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame, and will be used as the layer data. A function can be created from a formula (e.g. ~ head(.x, 10)).

stat

Override the default connection between geom_treebar() and stat_count().

position

A position adjustment to use on the data for this layer. This can be used in various ways, including to prevent overplotting and improving the display. The position argument accepts the following:

The result of calling a position function, such as position_jitter(). This method allows for passing extra arguments to the position.
A string naming the position adjustment. To give the position as a string, strip the function name of the position_ prefix. For example, to use position_jitter(), give the position as "jitter".
For more information and other ways to specify the position, see the layer position documentation.

na.rm

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

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.

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().

fixed

Deprecated. Use layout = "fixed" instead. Will be removed in later versions.

layout

The layout algorithm, one of either 'squarified' (the default), 'scol', 'srow' or 'fixed'. See Details for full details on the different layout algorithms.

start

The corner in which to start placing the tiles. One of 'bottomleft' (the default), 'topleft', 'topright' or 'bottomright'.

...

Other arguments passed on to layer()'s params argument. These arguments broadly fall into one of 4 categories below. Notably, further arguments to the position argument, or aesthetics that are required can not be passed through .... Unknown arguments that are not part of the 4 categories below are ignored.

Static aesthetics that are not mapped to a scale, but are at a fixed value and apply to the layer as a whole. For example, colour = "red" or linewidth = 3. The geom's documentation has an Aesthetics section that lists the available options. The 'required' aesthetics cannot be passed on to the params. Please note that while passing unmapped aesthetics as vectors is technically possible, the order and required length is not guaranteed to be parallel to the input data.
When constructing a layer using a stat_*() function, the ... argument can be used to pass on parameters to the geom part of the layer. An example of this is stat_density(geom = "area", outline.type = "both"). The geom's documentation lists which parameters it can accept.
Inversely, when constructing a layer using a geom_*() function, the ... argument can be used to pass on parameters to the stat part of the layer. An example of this is geom_area(stat = "density", adjust = 0.5). The stat's documentation lists which parameters it can accept.
The key_glyph argument of layer() may also be passed on through .... This can be one of the functions described as key glyphs, to change the display of the layer in the legend.

Value

A ggplot2::layer().

Details

data is split by all aesthetics except for the subgroup aesthetics.

A treemap is then drawn using treemapify::treemapify() from each section of the data, inheriting its aesthetics, and using the subgroup aesthetics to determine hierarchy.

Aesthetics

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

x
y
alpha
colour
fill
linetype
linewidth
subgroup
subgroup2
subgroup3

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

x
y
alpha
colour
fill
linetype
linewidth
subgroup
subgroup2
subgroup3

Learn more about setting these aesthetics in vignette("ggplot2-specs").

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

x or y
group
weight

Learn more about setting these aesthetics in vignette("ggplot2-specs").

Computed variables

These are calculated by the 'stat' part of layers and can be accessed with delayed evaluation.

after_stat(count)
number of points in bin.
after_stat(prop)
groupwise proportion

Examples

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(diamonds, aes(clarity, fill = cut, subgroup = color)) +
  geom_treebar()

ggplot(diamonds, aes(y = cut, fill = color, subgroup = clarity)) +
  geom_treebar(position = "dodge")
