Draws line segments with the given starting and ending coordinates.
ly_segments( fig, x0, y0, x1, y1, data = figure_data(fig), color = "black", alpha = 1, width = 1, type = 1, legend = NULL, lname = NULL, lgroup = NULL, ... )
fig | figure to modify |
---|---|
x0 | values or field name of starting x coordinates |
y0 | values or field name of starting y coordinates |
x1 | values or field name of ending x coordinates |
y1 | values or field name of ending y coordinates |
data | an optional data frame, providing the source for inputs x, y, and other glyph properties |
color | color to use to stroke lines with - a hex code (with no alpha) or any of the 147 named CSS colors, e.g 'green', 'indigo' |
alpha | transparency value for the line between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque) |
width | stroke width in units of pixels |
type | an integer between 1 and 6 matching the |
legend | either a logical specifying not to plot a legend for this layer (FALSE) or a string indicating the name of the legend entry for this layer (note that when mapping plot attributes to variables in |
lname | layer name |
lgroup | layer group |
... | additional parameters for fine control over line properties (see "Additional parameters" below) |
When specifying an input data frame for a layer through the data
argument, columns of data
can be used to specify various plot attributes such as color
, etc. For example, with ly_points(..., data = iris, color = Species)
, the Species
variable is used to determine how to color the points. Here, Species
is "mapped" to the color
attribute. Both continuous and categorical variables can be mapped. In the case of continuous variables, the range is cut into slices and attributes are applied to each interval. The mapping from the values of the variable to the actual plot attributes is determined based on the theme.
line_join | how path segments should be joined together 'miter' 'round' 'bevel' |
line_cap | how path segments should be terminated 'butt' 'round' 'square' |
line_dash | an integer between 1 and 6 matching the lty property in par or an array of integer pixel distances that describe the on-off pattern of dashing to use |
line_dash_offset | the distance in pixels into the line_dash that the pattern should start from |
