rphylopic

Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. R-CMD-check codecov.io rstudio mirror downloads cran version

The idea here is to create modular bits and pieces to allow you to add silhouettes to not only ggplot2 plots, but base plots as well.

Work with names

Find the taxa in Phylopic whose names match some text

Get info on a name

# no options just returns the UUID (aka: self)

#> $uid
#> [1] "1ee65cf3-53db-4a52-9960-a9f7093d845d"

Plot a silhouette behind a plot

library('ggplot2')
img <- image_data("27356f15-3cf8-47e8-ab41-71c6260b2724", size = "512")[[1]]
qplot(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width, data = iris, geom = "point") +
  add_phylopic(img)
plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-17

Plot images as points in a plot

For ggplot2 graphics…

library('ggplot2')
img <- image_data("c089caae-43ef-4e4e-bf26-973dd4cb65c5", size = "64")[[1]]
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(drat, wt)) +
      geom_blank() +
      theme_grey(base_size = 18)
for (i in 1:nrow(mtcars)) {
  p <- p + add_phylopic(img, 1, mtcars$drat[i], mtcars$wt[i], ysize = 0.3)
}
p
plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-18

and the same plot in base R graphics:

cat <- image_data("23cd6aa4-9587-4a2e-8e26-de42885004c9", size = 128)[[1]]
posx <- runif(50, 0, 1)
posy <- runif(50, 0, 1)
size <- runif(50, 0.01, 0.2)
plot(posx, posy, type = "n", main = "A cat herd")
for (i in 1:50) {
  add_phylopic_base(cat, posx[i], posy[i], size[i])
}
plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-19

Save png to disk

cat <- image_data("23cd6aa4-9587-4a2e-8e26-de42885004c9", size = 128)[[1]]
out <- save_png(cat)
identical(png::readPNG(out), cat)
#> TRUE

Use silhouettes as icons in Leaflet plots

There’s nothing baked into rphylopic for this, but here’s an example of how to do it.

library(leaflet)
data(quakes)

# get an image
cat <- image_data("23cd6aa4-9587-4a2e-8e26-de42885004c9", size = 128)[[1]]
# save to disk
file <- save_png(cat)
# make an icon. this one is super simple, see `makeIcon` docs for more options
sil_icon <- makeIcon(iconUrl = file)

# make the plot
leaflet(data = quakes[1:4,]) %>% addTiles() %>%
  addMarkers(~long, ~lat, icon = sil_icon)
leaflet-plot
