unsupported features from the r cookbook

[chriddyp]

Here are some remaining unsupported features as taken from the great ggplot2 cookbook.

The cookbook examples are in this branch: https://github.com/ropensci/plotly/tree/add-r-cookbook-tests, in this folder: https://github.com/ropensci/plotly/tree/add-r-cookbook-tests/tests/cookbook-test-suite

  from: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Bar_and_line_graphs_(ggplot2)/

  also see our polygons-borders test-case: http://grab.by/B8pa

  also see all of the examples that have a hidden legend by default, like "suppress y ticks labels and gridlines" from axes.R

• bar graph colors aren't right in this example
  see our cookbook example "basic bar fully styled"

• y-axis range
  expected output: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Bar_and_line_graphs_(ggplot2)/line-point-ylim.png

  actual output: https://plot.ly/~ggplot2-cookbook/15/total-bill-vs-time/

• marker size is too small
  expected output: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Plotting_distributions_(ggplot2)/boxplot-mean.png

  actual output: https://plot.ly/~ggplot2-cookbook/57/rating-vs-cond/

  code: https://github.com/chriddyp/ggplot2-plotly-cookbook/blob/a45f2c70b7adf484e0b0eb8810a1e59e018adbb8/distributions.R#L116

  from: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Plotting_distributions_(ggplot2)/

  compare also the ggplot-abline test in our github

  see also our test case "test-ggplot-size-global-scaling" and "test-ggplot-size-is-a-vector" and "test-ggplot-size-not-a-vector"

  see also our cookbook example "means-and-error-bars/within-subject-error-bars"

  also, too big in the example: "scatterplots/scatterplots colored by condition with extended regression line"

• facet text is positioned oddly
  annotations are positioned oddly -- maybe on plotly.js end or maybe on ggplotly end. also, the iframe is too small. in any case, looks pretty bad as a "show-off" example for facet support -- https://plot.ly/ggplot2/facet/

• suppressed y ticks, labels, gridlines
  see example from axes.R: "supress y ticks labels and gridlines"

  also: "hidden tick marks marks labels gridline"

• better placement of y-axis label for stacked facets
  see example from cookbooks "distributions/faceted-histograms"

• multiple density plots
  looks like our conversion works for a single density plot, but not for multiple density plots. see our example from cookbook "distributions/filled density plots" and "distributions/multiple density plots"

• colors of density plots
  see our example from cookbook "distributions/filled density plots". looks like "distributions/histograms" does the correct thing

• regression lines
  see cookbook example "scatterplots/scatterplots_colored_by_condition_with_extended_regression_line"

• add some more spacing around the graph: expand the range
  our range is flush against the domain of the axis, we might want to give the graphs a lil more breathing room, or explore just using plotly's autorange: http://grab.by/B8j6

  especially noticeable on this one: https://plot.ly/~TestBot/505/mpg-mean-vs-cyl/

  also this one: "basic line 2" from "bars-and-lines.R"

  also see our cookbook example "basic bar fill colors 1"

• geom_rect()
  Looks like this would be a cool one to add: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17521438/geom-rect-and-alpha-does-this-work-with-hard-coded-values. An enterprise lead uses it and tried to re-make this plot today.

  https://plot.ly/~c_bort/5/test-for-matt-and-rich/

• histograms with date axis broken
  http://grab.by/B8oq

• legend position
  see our examples "legends/legend in bottom left" and similar

• re-orderding axes labels
  see http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Axes_(ggplot2)/#changing-the-order-of-items

  executable code: https://github.com/chriddyp/ggplot2-plotly-cookbook/blob/master/axes.R

• reversed continuous scale

• legend background
  see our cookbook example "legends/box around legend"

• annotations

  from: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Legends_(ggplot2)/

  executable code: https://github.com/chriddyp/ggplot2-plotly-cookbook/blob/master/legends.R#L23-L26

  see also our test "test-ggplot-stack" (although in that case, i think we're doing the correct thing)

• FIXED Carson scales free #167 scales="free" in ggplot2
  See: https://plot.ly/~zevross/18/staten-island-staten-island-staten-island-staten-island-staten-island-brooklyn-b/. It looks like we almost get it, but are using shared axes on two of them.

  ggplot(refdaylong, aes(date, value, color=variable)) + geom_line() + facet_wrap(~year, scales="free")

• graph outline
  expected output: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Bar_and_line_graphs_(ggplot2)/bar2-final.png

  from: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Plotting_means_and_error_bars_(ggplot2)/#understanding-within-subjects-error-bars

• log axes
  see "axes--log_10_y_axes_with_exponent_tick_marks" from the "axes.r"

• ln axes
  see examples: "ln y axes with visual equal spacing"
  we don't have "ln" axes, so should just do linear or "log" axes

• legend font
  see our cookbook examples "legends/styled legend labels"

• multi-line titles
  see our cookbook example: "graph with multi-line title"

• FIXED Avoid layering multiple bars when there should be one #213
  maybe ggplot2-bar-category-names should be a histogram: https://plot.ly/~TestBot/550 instead of a zillion stacked bars

• heatmap color scales
  http://grab.by/B8n6

• line type 4 should maybe just be dashed
  instead of dash-dot: http://grab.by/B8oG

• too many polygons?
  not sure whats going on in our bar chart for the test "polygons-springgreen3-lab: http://grab.by/B8qg

• text-size
  see test "test-ggplot-text": http://grab.by/B8r0

• shrink top margin when no title is supplied
  see our test "test-ggplot-theme-background"

• grid line colors (maybe all colors?) are just lil different
  see the grids in theme-ticks-and-grids test case

I checked off the items that I have fixed in #163

It seems like a good number of unimplemented cookbook tests overlap with tests already implemented testhat side. For example, see here and here.

Unless anyone objects, I'm going to favor putting cookbook examples under test-ggplot-*.R (instead of test-cookbook-*.R) whenever appropriate

@chriddyp @mkcor @tdhock.

[cpsievert]

Taking a closer look, I don't think it's really worth adding any of the examples in bars_and_lines.R. We already have tests for most of it. There are a couple examples that have components that we don't currently test for like theme_bw() and theme(legend.position = ...), but those things have nothing to do with bars/lines.

Pretty sure this is outdated now and superseded by https://github.com/ropensci/plotly/milestone/3
