Draws a hand-drawn waterfall: each step's delta (y) floats a bar from the running total before it to the running total after it, stepping the level up and down across the categories (x), with dotted hand-drawn connectors carrying the level across the gaps. Map an optional measure aesthetic with value "total" for rows that should draw the running total from zero (e.g. a closing "Net" row) instead of a delta.

Usage

StatSketchWaterfall

GeomSketchWaterfall

geom_sketch_waterfall(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "sketch_waterfall",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  width = 0.62,
  fill_increase = "#7fa87f",
  fill_decrease = "#b56b6f",
  fill_total = "#8391a7",
  connectors = TRUE,
  connector_colour = "grey40",
  colour = "grey25",
  fill_style = "hachure",
  roughness = 1,
  bowing = 1,
  n_passes = 2L,
  seed = NULL,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

Arguments

mapping

Aesthetic mappings created by ggplot2::aes(). Requires x (step, usually a factor in ledger order) and y (the delta); optionally measure ("relative" or "total" per row).

data

Data to display.

stat

Statistical transformation. Default "sketch_waterfall".

position

Position adjustment. Default "identity".

...

Other arguments passed on to the layer.

width

Bar width in x units. Default 0.62.

fill_increase, fill_decrease, fill_total

Bar fills by direction. Set any to NULL to map fill yourself.

connectors

Draw the dotted level connectors? Default TRUE.

connector_colour

Connector colour. Default "grey40".

colour

Bar outline colour. Default "grey25".

fill_style

Bar fill style; see geom_sketch_rect(). Default "hachure".

roughness, bowing, n_passes, seed

Sketch parameters.

na.rm

Remove missing values silently? Default FALSE.

show.legend

Logical; include in legend?

inherit.aes

Override default aesthetics?

Value

A ggplot2 layer object.

Details

Bars are coloured by direction (fill_increase / fill_decrease / fill_total); set any of them to NULL and map fill yourself (the stat exposes the direction as after_stat(change)).

Examples

library(ggplot2)
ledger <- data.frame(
  step  = factor(c("Start", "Sales", "Refunds", "Costs", "Tax", "Net"),
                 levels = c("Start", "Sales", "Refunds", "Costs", "Tax",
                            "Net")),
  delta = c(120, 80, -25, -60, -18, 0),
  kind  = c("relative", "relative", "relative", "relative", "relative",
            "total")
)
ggplot(ledger, aes(step, delta, measure = kind)) +
  geom_sketch_waterfall(seed = 1L) +
  theme_sketch()
