对于长图例标题,在ggplot2中居中对齐图例标题和图例键

Question

当传奇标题很长时,我很难将传奇中心的标题相对于图例键对齐.一年前有一个问题适用于短标题,但它似乎不适用于长标题.

示例,首先使用简短的图例标题:

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(iris, aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, color=Petal.Width)) + geom_point(size = 3) +
  scale_color_distiller(palette = "YlGn", type = "seq", direction = -1,
                        name = "A") +
  theme(legend.title.align = 0.5)

一切都如预期的那样,图例标题位于图例键的上方.

现在和一个长长的传奇标题相同:

ggplot(iris, aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, color=Petal.Width)) + geom_point(size = 3) +
  scale_color_distiller(palette = "YlGn", type = "seq", direction = -1,
                        name = "Long legend heading\nShould be centered") +
  theme(legend.title.align = 0.5)

我们可以看到文本中心与自身对齐,但与图例键无关.我已经尝试修改其他主题选项,例如legend.justification = "center",但似乎没有人从图例框中最左侧的位置移动键.

几条评论:

• 我几天前正在运行ggplot2的开发版本,v2.2.1.9000.

• 我特别需要一个连续色阶调色板的解决方案.

我在上面的评论之一中破解了类似于baptiste所描述方式的源代码：将颜色条/标签/刻度grobs放入子gtable中，并将其定位为具有相同的行跨度/列跨度（取决于图例的方向）作为标题。

它仍然是一个hack，但我想将其视为“整个会话一次hack”的方法，而不必为每个情节手动重复这些步骤。

具有不同标题宽度/标题位置/图例方向的演示：

plot.demo <- function(title.width = 20,
                      title.position = "top",
                      legend.direction = "vertical"){
  ggplot(iris, 
         aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, color=Petal.Width)) + 
    geom_point(size = 3) +
    scale_color_distiller(palette = "YlGn",
                          name = stringr::str_wrap("Long legend heading should be centered",
                                                   width = title.width), 
                          guide = guide_colourbar(title.position = title.position),
                          direction = -1) +
    theme(legend.title.align = 0.5,
          legend.direction = legend.direction)
}

cowplot::plot_grid(plot.demo(),
                   plot.demo(title.position = "left"),
                   plot.demo(title.position = "bottom"),
                   plot.demo(title.width = 10, title.position = "right"),
                   plot.demo(title.width = 50, legend.direction = "horizontal"),
                   plot.demo(title.width = 10, legend.direction = "horizontal"),
                   ncol = 2)

这也适用于多个颜色条图例：

ggplot(iris, 
       aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, 
           color=Petal.Width, fill = Petal.Width)) + 
  geom_point(size = 3, shape = 21) +
  scale_color_distiller(palette = "YlGn",
                        name = stringr::str_wrap("Long legend heading should be centered",
                                                 width = 20),
                        guide = guide_colourbar(title.position = "top"),
                        direction = -1) +
  scale_fill_distiller(palette = "RdYlBu",
                       name = stringr::str_wrap("A different heading of different length",
                                                width = 40),
                       direction = 1) +
  theme(legend.title.align = 0.5,
        legend.direction = "vertical",
        legend.box.just = "center")

（旁注：legend.box.just = "center"需要正确对齐两个图例。我担心了一会儿，因为当前仅列出了“ top”，“ bottom”，“ left”和“ right”作为可接受的参数值，但事实证明底层也接受“中心” /“中心” grid::valid.just。我不确定为什么在?theme帮助文件中未明确提及；尽管如此，它仍然有效。）

要更改源代码，请运行：

trace(ggplot2:::guide_gengrob.colorbar, edit = TRUE)

并从此更改代码的最后一部分：

  gt <- gtable(widths = unit(widths, "cm"), heights = unit(heights, 
    "cm"))
  ... # omitted
  gt
}

对此：

  # create legend gtable & add background / legend title grobs as before (this part is unchanged)
  gt <- gtable(widths = unit(widths, "cm"), heights = unit(heights, "cm"))
  gt <- gtable_add_grob(gt, grob.background, name = "background", 
                        clip = "off", t = 1, r = -1, b = -1, l = 1)
  gt <- gtable_add_grob(gt, justify_grobs(grob.title, hjust = title.hjust, 
                                          vjust = title.vjust, int_angle = title.theme$angle, 
                                          debug = title.theme$debug), name = "title", clip = "off", 
                        t = 1 + min(vps$title.row), r = 1 + max(vps$title.col), 
                        b = 1 + max(vps$title.row), l = 1 + min(vps$title.col))

  # create child gtable, using the same widths / heights as the original legend gtable
  gt2 <- gtable(widths = unit(widths[1 + seq.int(min(range(vps$bar.col, vps$label.col)), 
                                                 max(range(vps$bar.col, vps$label.col)))], "cm"),
                heights = unit(heights[1 + seq.int(min(range(vps$bar.row, vps$label.row)), 
                                                   max(range(vps$bar.row, vps$label.row)))], "cm"))

  # shift cell positions to start from 1
  vps2 <- vps[c("bar.row", "bar.col", "label.row", "label.col")]
  vps2[c("bar.row", "label.row")] <- lapply(vps2[c("bar.row", "label.row")],
                                            function(x) x - min(unlist(vps2[c("bar.row", "label.row")])) + 1)
  vps2[c("bar.col", "label.col")] <- lapply(vps2[c("bar.col", "label.col")],
                                            function(x) x - min(unlist(vps2[c("bar.col", "label.col")])) + 1)

  # add bar / ticks / labels grobs to child gtable
  gt2 <- gtable_add_grob(gt2, grob.bar, name = "bar", clip = "off",
                         t = min(vps2$bar.row), r = max(vps2$bar.col),
                         b = max(vps2$bar.row), l = min(vps2$bar.col))
  gt2 <- gtable_add_grob(gt2, grob.ticks, name = "ticks", clip = "off",
                         t = min(vps2$bar.row), r = max(vps2$bar.col),
                         b = max(vps2$bar.row), l = min(vps2$bar.col))
  gt2 <- gtable_add_grob(gt2, grob.label, name = "label", clip = "off",
                         t = min(vps2$label.row), r = max(vps2$label.col),
                         b = max(vps2$label.row), l = min(vps2$label.col))

  # add child gtable back to original legend gtable, taking tlrb reference from the
  # rowspan / colspan of the title grob if title grob spans multiple rows / columns.
  gt <- gtable_add_grob(gt, justify_grobs(gt2, hjust = title.hjust, 
                                          vjust = title.vjust), 
                        name = "bar.ticks.label", clip = "off", 
                        t = 1 + ifelse(length(vps$title.row) == 1, 
                                       min(vps$bar.row, vps$label.row),
                                       min(vps$title.row)), 
                        b = 1 + ifelse(length(vps$title.row) == 1, 
                                       max(vps$bar.row, vps$label.row),
                                       max(vps$title.row)), 
                        r = 1 + ifelse(length(vps$title.col) == 1, 
                                       min(vps$bar.col, vps$label.col),
                                       max(vps$title.col)), 
                        l = 1 + ifelse(length(vps$title.col) == 1, 
                                       max(vps$bar.col, vps$label.col),
                                       min(vps$title.col)))
  gt
}

要撤消更改，请运行：

untrace(ggplot2:::guide_gengrob.colorbar)

使用的软件包版本：ggplot2 3.2.1。

我找到了解决方案.它需要一些挖掘到grob树,如果有多个传说它可能不起作用,但除非有更好的东西出现,否则这似乎是一个合理的解决方案.

align_legend <- function(p, hjust = 0.5)
{
  # extract legend
  g <- cowplot::plot_to_gtable(p)
  grobs <- g$grobs
  legend_index <- which(sapply(grobs, function(x) x$name) == "guide-box")
  legend <- grobs[[legend_index]]

  # extract guides table
  guides_index <- which(sapply(legend$grobs, function(x) x$name) == "layout")

  # there can be multiple guides within one legend box  
  for (gi in guides_index) {
    guides <- legend$grobs[[gi]]

    # add extra column for spacing
    # guides$width[5] is the extra spacing from the end of the legend text
    # to the end of the legend title. If we instead distribute it by `hjust:(1-hjust)` on
    # both sides, we get an aligned legend
    spacing <- guides$width[5]
    guides <- gtable::gtable_add_cols(guides, hjust*spacing, 1)
    guides$widths[6] <- (1-hjust)*spacing
    title_index <- guides$layout$name == "title"
    guides$layout$l[title_index] <- 2

    # reconstruct guides and write back
    legend$grobs[[gi]] <- guides
  }

  # reconstruct legend and write back
  g$grobs[[legend_index]] <- legend
  g
}

你必须改变源代码.目前,它计算标题grob和bar +标签的宽度,并在视口(gtable)中左对齐bar +标签.这是硬编码的.
