Similar to ggplot2::geom_contour but it can label contour lines,
accepts accepts a function as the breaks
argument and and computes
breaks globally instead of per panel.

Arguments
- mapping
Set of aesthetic mappings created by
aes()
. If specified andinherit.aes = TRUE
(the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supplymapping
if there is no plot mapping.- data
The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options:
If
NULL
, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call toggplot()
.A
data.frame
, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. Seefortify()
for which variables will be created.A
function
will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be adata.frame
, and will be used as the layer data. Afunction
can be created from aformula
(e.g.~ head(.x, 10)
).- stat
The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer. When using a
geom_*()
function to construct a layer, thestat
argument can be used the override the default coupling between geoms and stats. Thestat
argument accepts the following:A
Stat
ggproto subclass, for exampleStatCount
.A string naming the stat. To give the stat as a string, strip the function name of the
stat_
prefix. For example, to usestat_count()
, give the stat as"count"
.For more information and other ways to specify the stat, see the layer stat documentation.
- position
A position adjustment to use on the data for this layer. This can be used in various ways, including to prevent overplotting and improving the display. The
position
argument accepts the following:The result of calling a position function, such as
position_jitter()
. This method allows for passing extra arguments to the position.A string naming the position adjustment. To give the position as a string, strip the function name of the
position_
prefix. For example, to useposition_jitter()
, give the position as"jitter"
.For more information and other ways to specify the position, see the layer position documentation.
- ...
Other arguments passed on to
layer()
'sparams
argument. These arguments broadly fall into one of 4 categories below. Notably, further arguments to theposition
argument, or aesthetics that are required can not be passed through...
. Unknown arguments that are not part of the 4 categories below are ignored.Static aesthetics that are not mapped to a scale, but are at a fixed value and apply to the layer as a whole. For example,
colour = "red"
orlinewidth = 3
. The geom's documentation has an Aesthetics section that lists the available options. The 'required' aesthetics cannot be passed on to theparams
. Please note that while passing unmapped aesthetics as vectors is technically possible, the order and required length is not guaranteed to be parallel to the input data.When constructing a layer using a
stat_*()
function, the...
argument can be used to pass on parameters to thegeom
part of the layer. An example of this isstat_density(geom = "area", outline.type = "both")
. The geom's documentation lists which parameters it can accept.Inversely, when constructing a layer using a
geom_*()
function, the...
argument can be used to pass on parameters to thestat
part of the layer. An example of this isgeom_area(stat = "density", adjust = 0.5)
. The stat's documentation lists which parameters it can accept.The
key_glyph
argument oflayer()
may also be passed on through...
. This can be one of the functions described as key glyphs, to change the display of the layer in the legend.
- lineend
Line end style (round, butt, square).
- linejoin
Line join style (round, mitre, bevel).
- linemitre
Line mitre limit (number greater than 1).
- breaks
One of:
A numeric vector of breaks
A function that takes the range of the data and binwidth as input and returns breaks as output
- bins
Number of evenly spaced breaks.
- binwidth
Distance between breaks.
- global.breaks
Logical indicating whether
breaks
should be computed for the whole data or for each grouping.- na.rm
If
FALSE
, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. IfTRUE
, missing values are silently removed.- na.fill
How to fill missing values.
FALSE
for letting the computation fail with no interpolationTRUE
for imputing missing values with Impute2DA numeric value for constant imputation
A function that takes a vector and returns a numeric (e.g.
mean
)
- skip
number of contours to skip for labelling (e.g.
skip = 1
will skip 1 contour line between labels).- margin
the margin around labels around which contour lines are clipped to avoid overlapping.
- label.placer
a label placer function. See
label_placer_flattest()
.- show.legend
logical. Should this layer be included in the legends?
NA
, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped.FALSE
never includes, andTRUE
always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.- inherit.aes
If
FALSE
, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g.borders()
.- geom
The geometric object to use to display the data for this layer. When using a
stat_*()
function to construct a layer, thegeom
argument can be used to override the default coupling between stats and geoms. Thegeom
argument accepts the following:A
Geom
ggproto subclass, for exampleGeomPoint
.A string naming the geom. To give the geom as a string, strip the function name of the
geom_
prefix. For example, to usegeom_point()
, give the geom as"point"
.For more information and other ways to specify the geom, see the layer geom documentation.
- proj
The projection to which to project the contours to. It can be either a projection string or a function to apply to the whole contour dataset.
- proj.latlon
Logical indicating if the projection step should project from a cartographic projection to a lon/lat grid or the other way around.
- clip
A simple features object to be used as a clip. Contours are only drawn in the interior of this polygon.
- kriging
Whether to perform ordinary kriging before contouring. Use this if you want to use contours with irregularly spaced data. If
FALSE
, no kriging is performed. IfTRUE
, kriging will be performed with 40 points. If a numeric, kriging will be performed withkriging
points.
Aesthetics
geom_contour2
understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):
Aesthetics related to contour lines:
x
y
z
alpha
colour
group
linetype
size
weight
Aesthetics related to labels:
label
label_colour
label_alpha
label_size
family
fontface
