cbreaks
Compute breaks for continuous scale
Description
![[Retired]](../help/figures/lifecycle-retired.svg)
This function wraps up the components needed to go from a continuous range
to a set of breaks and labels suitable for display on axes or legends.
Usage
cbreaks(range, breaks = extended_breaks(), labels = scientific_format())
Arguments
range |
numeric vector of length 2 giving the range of the underlying data |
breaks |
either a vector of break values, or a break function that will make a vector of breaks when given the range of the data |
labels |
either a vector of labels (character vector or list of expression) or a format function that will make a vector of labels when called with a vector of breaks. Labels can only be specified manually if breaks are - it is extremely dangerous to supply labels if you don't know what the breaks will be. |
Examples
cbreaks(c(0, 100)) cbreaks(c(0, 100), breaks_pretty(3)) cbreaks(c(0, 100), breaks_pretty(10)) cbreaks(c(1, 100), log_breaks()) cbreaks(c(1, 1e4), log_breaks()) cbreaks(c(0, 100), labels = math_format()) cbreaks(c(0, 1), labels = percent_format()) cbreaks(c(0, 1e6), labels = comma_format()) cbreaks(c(0, 1e6), labels = dollar_format()) cbreaks(c(0, 30), labels = dollar_format()) # You can also specify them manually: cbreaks(c(0, 100), breaks = c(15, 20, 80)) cbreaks(c(0, 100), breaks = c(15, 20, 80), labels = c(1.5, 2.0, 8.0)) cbreaks(c(0, 100), breaks = c(15, 20, 80), labels = expression(alpha, beta, gamma))
