Add a new component to a ggplot or theme object.
This operator allows you to add objects to a ggplot or theme object.
## S3 method for class 'gganimint' e1 + e2 e1 %+% e2 e1 %+replace% e2
e1 |
An object of class |
e2 |
A component to add to |
If the first object is an object of class ggplot
, you can add
the following types of objects, and it will return a modified ggplot
object.
data.frame
: replace current data.frame
(must use %+%
)
uneval
: replace current aesthetics
layer
: add new layer
theme
: update plot theme
scale
: replace current scale
coord
: override current coordinate system
facet
: override current coordinate faceting
If the first object is an object of class theme
, you can add
another theme object. This will return a modified theme object.
For theme objects, the +
operator and the %+replace%
can be used to modify elements in themes.
The +
operator updates the elements of e1 that differ from
elements specified (not NULL) in e2.
Thus this operator can be used to incrementally add or modify attributes
of a ggplot theme.
In contrast, the %+replace%
operator replaces the
entire element; any element of a theme not specified in e2 will not be
present in the resulting theme (i.e. NULL).
Thus this operator can be used to overwrite an entire theme.
