Make a plot comparing two data frames

Used internally by the comparison plotting functions such as plotSpectra2() and plotCDF2(). The two data frames are combined and drawn with colour identifying the species or group and linetype identifying the object.

Usage

plotComparisonDataFrame(
  frame1,
  frame2,
  params,
  name1 = "First",
  name2 = "Second",
  xlab = waiver(),
  ylab = waiver(),
  xtrans = "identity",
  ytrans = "identity",
  xlim = c(NA, NA),
  ylim = c(NA, NA),
  y_ticks = 6,
  highlight = NULL,
  legend_var = "Legend"
)

Arguments

frame1, frame2

Data frames sharing the same first three variables (x, y and grouping variable). The names of frame1 are imposed on frame2.

params

A MizerParams object, used for the line colours.

name1, name2

Labels for the two data frames, used in the linetype legend.

xlab, ylab

Labels for the x and y axes.

xtrans, ytrans

Transformations for the x and y axes, e.g. "log10" or "identity".

xlim, ylim

Numeric vectors of length two giving the axis limits. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum or maximum.

y_ticks

The approximate number of ticks desired on the y axis.

highlight

Name or vector of names of the species to be highlighted.

legend_var

Name of the variable used in the legend and to determine the line colour.

Value

A mizer_plot (ggplot2) object.

Details

Both data frames must arrive ready to plot: on the axis they will be drawn against, with any total line already among their rows. Each operand is prepared by whatever produced it, using its own model, because a length axis and a density Jacobian both depend on the weight-length relationship of the model the values came from. Doing it here instead would silently impose the first model's parameters on the second.
