Sketchy line geom

Source: R/geom-sketch-line.R
geom_sketch_line.Rd

Draws a roughened line connecting points in order of x. Equivalent to geom_line() with a sketch aesthetic.

Usage

GeomSketchLine

geom_sketch_line(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  roughness = 1,
  bowing = 1,
  n_passes = 2L,
  seed = NULL,
  medium = NULL,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

Arguments

mapping

Set of aesthetic mappings created by ggplot2::aes().

data

Data to display.

stat

Statistical transformation (default "identity").

position

Position adjustment (default "identity").

...

Other arguments passed on to the layer.

roughness

Non-negative roughness parameter (0 = straight). Default 1.

bowing

Non-negative bowing multiplier. Default 1.

n_passes

Number of stroke passes for the double-stroke effect. Default 2.

seed

Integer seed for reproducibility. NULL uses getOption("ggsketch.seed", 1L).

medium

Drawing medium for the stroke: one of sketch_media() ("pen", "ink", "fountain_pen", "ballpoint", "brush", "pencil", "charcoal", "pastel", "chalk", "marker", "highlighter", "crayon", "spray"). NULL (default) uses "pen", the classic constant-width double stroke; most others render through the variable-width stroke_ribbon() engine (tapered ink, brushy swells, grainy pencil/charcoal, dusty chalk, a translucent highlighter band, ...), and "spray" renders as a soft airbrush dot cloud (sketch_spray_grob()). medium is also a mappable aesthetic: map it with aes(medium = ) (one medium per group) and control the mapping with scale_medium_discrete().

na.rm

If FALSE (default), missing values are removed with a warning.

show.legend

Logical. Should this layer be included in the legend?

inherit.aes

If FALSE, override the default aesthetics.

Value

A ggplot2 layer (a LayerInstance object) that can be added to a plot with +.
