| Title: | Explore Your Data with Interactive Figures |
|---|---|
| Description: | A framework for creating interactive figures for data exploration. All plots are automatically linked and support several kinds of interactive features, including selection, zooming, panning, and parameter manipulation. The figures can be interacted with either manually, using a mouse and a keyboard, or by running code from inside an active R session. |

This function is primarily meant for internal use, however, you can
use it to learn how plotscaper implements scales. The output can look
a bit overwhelming, however, it's not too complicated once you understand
how plotscaper scales work.
Each scale has two important properties:
Domain: The space values are translated from
Codomain: The space values are translated to
For example, in a typical scatterplot, the x scale might have the range of
the data (e.g. [1, 10]) as its domain and the width of the plotting region
as its codomain (e.g. [0, 800] pixels).
The scale's job is to link the domain and codomain, such that
we can push values forward through the scale, first through the domain
and then the codomain. This is done by translating to an intermediate
range [0, 1]. For example, using the x scale above, we might first
translate the value 5.5 to 0.5 (midpoint of the domain) and then
translate 0.5 to 400 (midpoint of the codomain). We may also be able
to reverse the process and pull values back through the scale, first
through the codomain and then through the domain.
Scale, domain, and codomain each have props and defaults properties
which store the relevant values. For example, for a continuous scale,
props and defaults store the min and max as well as a transformation
function and its inverse (trans, inv), for a discrete point scale,
they store the vector of labels, their order, etc...
On scale, the props and defaults store the following properties:
zero, one, scale, mult. The zero and one properties modify where
the normalized domain values get placed in the codomain, and vice versa.
Suppose our x ([1, 10], [0, 800] px) scale had zero = 0.1 and one = 0.9.
Then data values get pushed to the following intermediate values:
The value 1 to 0.1 since 0.1 + (1 - 1) / (10 - 1) * (0.9 - 0.1) = 0.1
The value 2 to 0.1889 since 0.1 + (2 - 1) / (10 - 1) * (0.9 - 0.1) = 0.1889
The value 3 to 0.2778 since 0.1 + ((3 - 1) / (10 - 1)) * (0.9 - 0.1) = 0.2778
...
The value 10 to 0.9 since 0.1 + ((10 - 1) / (10 - 1)) * (0.9 - 0.1) = 0.9
When those values get translated to the space of the codomain, we end up with 10% margins on each side, i.e.
The value 1 gets pushed to 80 pixels
...
The value 10 gets pushed to 720 pixels
The scale and mult properties both multiply the normalized domain values.
They work the same way, however, they are different semantically: scale is
meant to be constant whereas mult may change dynamically,
through interaction. For example, by default, in a barplot, the width scale
gets assigned the scale value of 1 / k, where k is the number of
categories/bars, and a mult value of 0.9. This means that each bar is
1 / k * 0.9 * [plot width in pixels] wide, and we can dynamically make it
wider or narrower by pressing the +/- keys to modify the mult property
(but not the scale property).
A list of scale properties
A string which uniquely identifies a plot plotscaper scene or schema.
idid
An object of class NULL of length 0.
id is a string that uniquely identifies a plot within a
plotscaper scene or schema. It can match a plot
based on its position (e.g. "plot1", "plot2", ...),
in the order the plots were added, left-to-right top-to-bottom,
or it can match plot based on type (e.g. "scatter1" or "barplot3"),
again, in order of addition.
If the plot is matched based on type, the morphemes "plot" and "gram" are ignored, such that e.g. "scatterplot1" is the same as "scatter1" and "histogram2d4" is the same as "histo2d4".
The string can also be shortened, e.g. "p1" for "plot1", "s2" for "scatter2", or "hh3" for "histo2d3".
This function switches the representation of a plot to a normalized one, e.g. spineplot, spinogram, etc...
