Below, we will simulate some data for demo purposes. We will create a
small dataset to demonstrate the scatterbar function.
# Load the scatterbar library
library(scatterbar)
# Define positional data: coordinates (x, y) for each spot
pos <- data.frame(x = c(1,1,2,2),
y = c(1,2,1,2))
# Define proportional data: proportions of different categories (p1, p2, p3, p4) at each spot
prop <- matrix(c(0.5, 0.5, 0, 0,
0.5, 0, 0, 0.5,
0, 0.5, 0.5, 0,
0, 0, 0.5, 0.5), nrow=4)
# Assign row names to both positional and proportional data, representing the spot identifiers
rownames(pos) <- rownames(prop) <- c('a','b','c','d')
# Assign column names to the proportional data, representing the categories/groups
colnames(prop) <- c('Dogs', 'Cats', 'Fish', 'Snakes')
# Print out the positional data
print(pos)## x y
## a 1 1
## b 1 2
## c 2 1
## d 2 2
# Print out the positional data
print(prop)## Dogs Cats Fish Snakes
## a 0.5 0.5 0.0 0.0
## b 0.5 0.0 0.5 0.0
## c 0.0 0.0 0.5 0.5
## d 0.0 0.5 0.0 0.5Here, we will create scatterbar plots using the scatterbar function and demonstrate various customization options using ggplot2.
