Guest post by Jonathan Sidi, Metrum Research Group
Last week the updated version of ggedit was presented in RStudio::conf2017. First, a BIG thank you to the whole RStudio team for a great conference and being so awesome to answer the insane amount of questions I had (sorry!). For a quick intro to the package see the previous post. To install the package:devtools::install_github("metrumresearchgroup/ggedit",subdir="ggedit")
Highlights of the updated version.
- verbose script handling during updating in the gagdet (see video below)
- verbose script output for updated layers and theme to parse and evaluate in console or editor
- colourpicker control for both single colours/fills and and palletes
- output for scale objects eg scale*grandient,scale*grandientn and scale*manual
- verbose script output for scales eg scale*grandient,scale*grandientn and scale*manual to parse and evaluate in console or editor
- input plot objects can have the data in the layer object and in the base object.
ggplot(data=iris,aes(x=Sepal.Width,y=Sepal.Length,colour=Species))+geom_point()ggplot(data=iris,aes(x=Sepal.Width,y=Sepal.Length))+geom_point(aes(colour=Species))ggplot()+geom_point(data=iris,aes(x=Sepal.Width,y=Sepal.Length,colour=Species))
- plot.theme(): S3 method for class ‘theme’
- visualizing theme objects in single output
- visual comparison of two themes objects in single output
- will be expanded upon in upcoming post

Initial Comparison Plot
plot(as.ggedit(comparePlots))
Apply updated theme of first plot to second plot
comparePlots$ScatterFacetNewTheme=p0$ScatterFacet+a$UpdatedThemes$Scatter
plot(as.ggedit(comparePlots[c("ScatterFacet","ScatterFacetNewTheme")]),
plot.layout = list(list(rows=1,cols=1),list(rows=2,cols=1))
)
#Using Remove and Replace Function ##Overlay two layers of same geom
(comparePlots$ScatterMistake=p0$Scatter+a$UpdatedLayers$ScatterFacet[[1]])
Remove
(comparePlots$ScatterNoLayer=p0$Scatter%>% rgg(oldGeom = 'point'))
Replace Geom_Point layer on Scatter Plot
(comparePlots$ScatterNewLayer=p0$Scatter%>%
rgg(oldGeom = 'point',
oldGeomIdx = 1,
newLayer = a$UpdatedLayers$ScatterFacet[[1]]))
Remove and Replace Geom_Point layer and add the new theme
(comparePlots$ScatterNewLayerTheme=p0$Scatter%>%
rgg(oldGeom = 'point',
newLayer = a$UpdatedLayers$ScatterFacet[[1]])+
a$UpdatedThemes$Scatter)
Cloning Layers
A geom_point layer
(l=p0$Scatter$layers[[1]]) ## mapping: colour = Species ## geom_point: na.rm = FALSE ## stat_identity: na.rm = FALSE ## position_identity
Clone the layer
(l1=cloneLayer(l)) ## mapping: colour = Species ## geom_point: na.rm = FALSE ## stat_identity: na.rm = FALSE ## position_identity all.equal(l,l1) ## [1] TRUE
Verbose copy of layer
(l1.txt=cloneLayer(l,verbose = T)) ## [1] "geom_point(mapping=aes(colour=Species),na.rm=FALSE,size=6,data=NULL,position=\"identity\",stat=\"identity\",show.legend=NA,inherit.aes=TRUE)"
Parse the text
(l2=eval(parse(text=l1.txt))) ## mapping: colour = Species ## geom_point: na.rm = FALSE ## stat_identity: na.rm = FALSE ## position_identity
all.equal(l,l2) ## [1] TRUE
Back to our example
#Original geom_point layer parse(text=cloneLayer(p0$ScatterFacet$layers[[1]],verbose = T)) ## expression(geom_point(mapping = aes(colour = Species), na.rm = FALSE, ## size = 6, data = NULL, position = "identity", stat = "identity", ## show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE)) #new Layer parse(text=a$UpdatedLayerCalls$ScatterFacet[[1]]) ## expression(geom_point(mapping = aes(colour = Species), na.rm = FALSE, ## size = 3, shape = 22, fill = "#BD2020", alpha = 1, stroke = 0.5, ## data = NULL, position = "identity", stat = "identity", show.legend = NA, ## inherit.aes = TRUE))
