gg2density {ggplot} | R Documentation |
Perform a 2D kernel density estimatation using kde2d
and
gg2density(plot = .PLOT, aesthetics=list(), ..., data=NULL)
plot |
the plot object to modify |
aesthetics |
named list of aesthetic mappings, see details for more information |
... |
other options, see details for more information |
data |
data source, if not specified the plot default will be used |
This is another function useful for dealing with overplotting.
Aesthetic mappings that this grob function understands:
x
:x position (required)
y
:y position (required)
These can be specified in the plot defaults (see ggplot
) or
in the aesthetics
argument. If you want to modify the position
of the points or any axis options, you will need to add a position scale to
the plot. These functions start with ps
, eg.
pscontinuous
or pscategorical
Other options:
ggcontour
, see it for details
