circlesplot(): Plots multiple circles with their given ratios

`circlesplot()` plots circles with a given diameter next to each other, so readers can observe the ratio between them.

Usage

circlesplot(
  cp_vals = NULL,
  cp_text = NULL,
  cp_max = 10L,
  cp_line_width = 2L,
  cp_title = "",
  cp_color = NULL,
  cp_title_size = 1.5,
  cp_sort = "none",
  cp_tight_spacing = 1,
  cp_shape = "circle"
)

Arguments

cp_vals

Vector (numeric); provides data

cp_text

Vector (characters); provides text-labels

cp_max

Maximum number of circles in a row (integer)

cp_line_width

Line-width of the circles (integer)

cp_title

Title of the plot (String)

cp_color

Vector of hex-colors for each circle

cp_title_size

Size of the title (numeric or integer)

cp_sort

String; specifies if values should be sorted ('asc', 'desc'; default: 'none')

cp_tight_spacing

Number (numeric); specifies spacing between rows (default: 1.0, possible: 1.0 - 2.0; 2.0 smallest distance)

cp_shape

String; specifies the shape (default: 'circle'; possible: 'square')

Value

Returns object of class 'recordedPlot'. Can be used for saving the plot to a variable and replay it again (See https://benst099.github.io/circlesplot/articles/cp_vignette.html).

# For coloring, you can also use viridis package:
library("viridis")
#> Loading required package: viridisLite
values = c(5,5,4,5,5,5,2,1)
text = c('8','7','6','5','4','3','2','1')
circlesplot(cp_vals=values, cp_text=text, cp_max=4L, cp_title="Some title", cp_color=viridis(8))
