More options from ggplot for plotAbundanceDensity

[artur-sannikov]

plotAbundanceDensity function does not accepts arguments from ggplot, for example jitter layout does not have width option and uses geom_point() as its basis but it does not accept geom_point options.

This issue should be moved to miaViz?

[artur-sannikov]

You are right. It's possible to transfer issues if you have write access.

Another thing is that it might be simper to modify the ggplot object that comes from the plotAbundanceDensity function (instead of adding new parameters). Can you check that option? If that is easier, then we could modify examples

@artur-sannikov You are in miaverse-developers team and that has write access to miaViz. Does it work?

[antagomir]

One limitation with ggplot is that changing the geom_* afterwards is not so handy (e.g from violin to boxplot). It is possible and perhaps it would be wise to first create & show an example of that and then think if that is too complex, justifying shortcuts.

@artur-sannikov

• Can you describe what was the idea of supporting more options (why we need support for these ggplot options)?
• Can you create an example on how to get the desired behavior without modifying miaViz?

--> The we can decide if we add the support

[artur-sannikov]

I think what I wanted to achieve is to have width and height parameters from this plot: https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/geom_jitter.html

library(tidyverse)
data(mpg)

ggplot(mpg, aes(x = cyl, y = hwy)) +
  geom_jitter(width=0.5, height=0.3)

Some arguments are set here.

Any volunteers to pick up this one (including the linked issues)?
