有一种方法可以做到,但它有点难看。
当我第一次看到它时,我想知道它是否可以使用 geom_text 来完成,但是虽然它给出了一个表示,但它并不真正适合主题结构。这是第一次尝试:
require(ggplot2)
big_votes_movies = movies[movies$votes > 100000,]
p <- ggplot(big_votes_movies, aes(x=rating, y=votes, label=year))
p + geom_text(size=12, aes(colour=factor(year), alpha=0.3)) + geom_jitter(alpha=0) +
scale_x_continuous(limits=c(8, 9.5)) + scale_y_continuous(limits=c(90000,170000))
所以后来我意识到你必须在 grid/ggplot 框架内实际渲染图像。你可以这样做,但你需要每年都有物理图像(我使用 ggplot 创建了基本图像,只是为了只使用一个工具,但也许 Photoshop 会更好!)然后制作你自己的 grobs,你可以将其添加为自定义注释。然后,您需要制作自己的直方图箱并使用 apply 进行绘图。见下文(它可以很容易地美化)。可悲的是只适用于笛卡尔坐标:(
require(ggplot2)
require(png)
require(plyr)
require(grid)
years<-data.frame(year=unique(big_votes_movies$year))
palette(rainbow(nrow(years)))
years$col<-palette() # manually set some different colors
# create a function to write the "year" images
writeYear<-function(year,col){
png(filename=paste(year,".png",sep=""),width=550,height=300,bg="transparent")
im<-qplot(1,1,xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL) +
theme(axis.text.x = element_blank(),axis.text.y = element_blank()) +
theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent",colour = NA), plot.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent",colour = NA), panel.grid.minor = element_line(colour = "white")) +
geom_text(label=year, size=80, color=col)
print(im)
dev.off()
}
#call the function to create the placeholder images
apply(years,1,FUN=function(x)writeYear(x["year"],x["col"]))
# then roll up the data
summarydata<-big_votes_movies[,c("year","rating","votes")]
# make own bins (a cheat)
summarydata$rating<-cut(summarydata$rating,breaks=c(0,8,8.5,9,Inf),labels=c(0,8,8.5,9))
aggdata <- ddply(summarydata, c("year", "rating"), summarise, votes = sum(votes) )
aggdata<-aggdata[order(aggdata$rating),]
aggdata<-ddply(aggdata,.(rating),transform,ymax=cumsum(votes),ymin=c(0,cumsum(votes))[1:length(votes)])
aggdata$imgname<-apply(aggdata,1,FUN=function(x)paste(x["year"],".png",sep=""))
#work out the upper limit on the y axis
ymax<-max(aggdata$ymax)
#plot the basic chart
z<-qplot(x=10,y=10,geom="blank") + scale_x_continuous(limits=c(8,9.5)) + scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,ymax))
#make a function to create the grobs and call the annotation_custom function
callgraph<-function(df){
tiles<-apply(df,1,FUN=function(x)return(annotation_custom(rasterGrob(image=readPNG(x["imgname"]),
x=0,y=0,height=1,width=1,just=c("left","bottom")),
xmin=as.numeric(x["rating"]),xmax=as.numeric(x["rating"])+0.5,ymin=as.numeric(x["ymin"]),ym ax=as.numeric(x["ymax"]))))
return(tiles)
}
# then add the annotations to the plot
z+callgraph(aggdata)
这是带有photoshop图像的情节。我只是将它们保存在生成的图像上,然后运行脚本的后半部分,以免重新生成它们。
好的 - 然后因为它困扰我,我决定安装 extrafont 并只使用 R 构建更漂亮的图形:
这是代码:
require(ggplot2)
require(png)
require(plyr)
require(grid)
require(extrafont)
#font_import(pattern="Show") RUN THIS ONCE ONLY
#load the fonts
loadfonts(device="win")
#create a subset of data with big votes
big_votes_movies = movies[movies$votes > 100000,]
#create a custom palette and append to a table of the unique years (labels)
years<-data.frame(year=unique(big_votes_movies$year))
palette(rainbow(nrow(years)))
years$col<-palette()
#function to create the labels as png files
writeYear<-function(year,col){
png(filename=paste(year,".png",sep=""),width=440,height=190,bg="transparent")
im<-qplot(1,1,xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL,geom="blank") +
geom_text(label=year,size=70, family="Showcard Gothic", color=col,alpha=0.8) +
theme(axis.text.x = element_blank(),axis.text.y = element_blank()) +
theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent",colour = NA),
plot.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent",colour = NA),
panel.grid.minor = element_line(colour = "transparent"),
panel.grid.major = element_line(colour = "transparent"),
axis.ticks=element_blank())
print(im)
dev.off()
}
#call the function to create the placeholder images
apply(years,1,FUN=function(x)writeYear(x["year"],x["col"]))
#summarize the data, and create bins manually
summarydata<-big_votes_movies[,c("year","rating","votes")]
summarydata$rating<-cut(summarydata$rating,breaks=c(0,8,8.5,9,Inf),labels=c(0,8,8.5,9))
aggdata <- ddply(summarydata, c("year", "rating"), summarise, votes = sum(votes) )
aggdata<-aggdata[order(aggdata$rating),]
aggdata<-ddply(aggdata,.(rating),transform,ymax=cumsum(votes),ymin=c(0,cumsum(votes))[1:length(votes)])
#identify the image placeholders
aggdata$imgname<-apply(aggdata,1,FUN=function(x)paste(x["year"],".png",sep=""))
ymax<-max(aggdata$ymax)
#do the basic plot
z<-qplot(x=10,y=10,geom="blank",xlab="Rating",ylab="Votes \n",main="Big Movie Votes \n") +
theme_bw() +
theme(panel.grid.major = element_line(colour = "transparent"),
text = element_text(family="Kalinga", size=20,face="bold")
) +
scale_x_continuous(limits=c(8,9.5)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,ymax))
#creat a function to create the grobs and return annotation_custom() calls
callgraph<-function(df){
tiles<-apply(df,1,FUN=function(x)return(annotation_custom(rasterGrob(image=readPNG(x["imgname"]),
x=0,y=0,height=1,width=1,just=c("left","bottom")),
xmin=as.numeric(x["rating"]),xmax=as.numeric(x["rating"])+0.5,ymin=as.numeric(x["ymin"]),ymax=as.numeric(x["ymax"]))))
return(tiles)
}
#add the tiles to the base chart
z+callgraph(aggdata)
