Create a polar plot

Create a polar plot. The input arguments for this functions are typically generated using bettrGetReady, which ensures that all required columns are available.

Usage

makePolarPlot(
  bettrList = NULL,
  plotdata,
  idCol,
  metricCol = "Metric",
  valueCol = "ScaledValue",
  metricGroupCol = "metricGroup",
  metricColors,
  metricCollapseGroup = FALSE,
  metricGrouping = "---",
  labelSize = 10
)

Arguments

bettrList

A list, the output object from prepData. If bettrList is provided, arguments plotdata, scoredata, idCol, metricCol, valueCol, weightCol, scoreCol, metricGroupCol, metricInfo, metricColors, idInfo, idColors, metricCollapseGroup, metricGrouping and methods will be ignored and the corresponding values will be extracted from bettrList. This is the recommended way of calling the plotting functions, as it ensures compatibility of all components.

plotdata

A data.frame with columns representing methods, metrics, scores, and weights. Typically obtained as prepData$plotdata, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.

idCol

Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata and scoredata contains the method IDs.

metricCol

Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata contains the metric IDs. Typically, "Metric".

valueCol

Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata contains the metric values. Typically, "ScaledValue".

metricGroupCol

Character scalar indicating which column of plotdata contains the information about the metric group. Typically, "metricGroup".

metricColors

Named list with colors used for the metrics and any other metric annotations. Typically obtained as prepData$metricColors, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.

metricCollapseGroup

Logical scalar indicating whether metrics should be collapsed by the group variable provided by metricGrouping. Typically obtained as prepData$metricCollapseGroup, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.

metricGrouping

Character scalar indicating the column of metricInfo that was used to group metrics. Typically obtained as prepData$metricGrouping, where prepData is the output from bettrGetReady.

labelSize

Numeric scalar providing the size of the labels in the plot.

Value

A ggplot object.

Examples

## Generate example data
df <- data.frame(Method = c("M1", "M2", "M3"),
                 metric1 = c(1, 2, 3),
                 metric2 = c(3, 1, 2))
metricInfo <- data.frame(Metric = c("metric1", "metric2", "metric3"),
                         Group = c("G1", "G2", "G2"))
idInfo <- data.frame(Method = c("M1", "M2", "M3"),
                     Type = c("T1", "T1", "T2"))
prepData <- bettrGetReady(df = df, idCol = "Method",
                          metricInfo = metricInfo, idInfo = idInfo)
makePolarPlot(bettrList = prepData)
