gramm examples

Examples and how-tos for gramm

Example from the readme

Here we plot the evolution of fuel economy of new cars bewteen 1970 and 1980 (carbig dataset). Gramm is used to easily separate groups on the basis of the number of cylinders of the cars (color), and on the basis of the region of origin of the cars (subplot columns). Both the raw data (points) and a glm fit with 95% confidence interval (line+shaded area) are plotted.

We stat by loading the sample data (structure created from the carbig dataset)

load example_data;

Create a gramm object, provide x (year of production) and y (fuel economy) data, color grouping data (number of cylinders) and select a subset of the data

g=gramm('x',cars.Model_Year,'y',cars.MPG,'color',cars.Cylinders,'subset',cars.Cylinders~=3 & cars.Cylinders~=5);

Subdivide the data in subplots horizontally by region of origin using facet_grid()

g.facet_grid([],cars.Origin_Region);

Plot raw data as points

g.geom_point();

Plot linear fits of the data with associated confidence intervals

g.stat_glm();

Set appropriate names for legends

g.set_names('column','Origin','x','Year of production','y','Fuel economy (MPG)','color','# Cylinders');

Set figure title

g.set_title('Fuel economy of new cars between 1970 and 1982');

Do the actual drawing

figure('Position',[100 100 800 400]);

g.draw();

Grouping options in gramm

With gramm there are a lot ways to map groups to visual properties of plotted data, or even subplots. Providing grouping variables to change visual properties is done in the constructor call gramm(). Grouping variables that determine subplotting are provided by calls to the facet_grid() or facet_wrap() methods. Not that all the mappings presented below can be combined, i.e. it's possible to previde different variables to each of the options.

In order to plot multiple, diferent gramm objects in the same figure, an array of gramm objects is created, and the draw() function called at the end on the whole array

clear g

g(1,1)=gramm('x',cars.Horsepower,'y',cars.MPG,'subset',cars.Cylinders~=3 & cars.Cylinders~=5);

g(1,1).geom_point();

g(1,1).set_names('x','Horsepower','y','MPG');

Methods for visualizing Y~X relationships with X as categorical variable

The following methods can be used when Y data is continuous and X data discrete/categorical.

Here we also use an array of gramm objects in order to have multiple gramm plots on the same figure. The gramm objects use the same data, so we copy them after construction using the copy() method

clear g

g(1,1)=gramm('x',cars.Origin_Region,'y',cars.Horsepower,'color',cars.Cylinders,'subset',cars.Cylinders~=3 & cars.Cylinders~=5);

g(1,2)=copy(g(1));

g(2,1)=copy(g(1));

g(2,2)=copy(g(1));

%Raw data as scatter plot

g(1,1).geom_point();

g(1,1).set_title('geom_point()');

%Jittered scatter plot

g(1,2).geom_jitter('width',0.4,'height',0);

g(1,2).set_title('geom_jitter()');

%Averages with confidence interval

g(2,1).stat_summary('geom',{'bar','black_errorbar'});

g(2,1).set_title('stat_summary()');

%Boxplots

g(2,2).stat_boxplot();

g(2,2).set_title('stat_boxplot()');

%These functions can be called on arrays of gramm objects

g.set_names('x','Origin','y','Horsepower','color','# Cyl');

g.set_title('Visualization of Y~X relationships with X as categorical variable');

Methods for visualizing 2D densities

Methods for visualizing repeated trajectories

gramm supports 2D inputs for X and Y data (as 2D array or cell of arrays), which is particularly useful for representing repeated trajectories. Here for example we generate 50 trajectories, each of length 40. The grouping data is then given per trajectory and not per data point. Here the color grouping variable is thus given as a 1x50 cellstr.

%We generate 50 trajectories of length 40, with 3 groups

N=50;

nx=40;

cval={'A' 'B' 'C'};

cind=randi(3,N,1);

c=cval(cind);

x=linspace(0,3,nx);

y=arrayfun(@(c)sin(x*c)+randn(1,nx)/10+x*randn/5,cind,'UniformOutput',false);

Methods for visualizing repeated densities (e.g. spike densities)

With the support of 2D inputs for X and gramm's functionality for representing the density of data, useful neuroscientific plots can be generated when the provided X corresponds to spike trains: raster plots and peristimulus time histograms (PSTHs).

%We generate 50 spike trains, with 3 groups

N=50;

cval={'A' 'B' 'C'};

cind=randi(3,N,1);

c=cval(cind);

train_template=[zeros(1,300) ones(1,200)];

%Pseudo-poisson spike trains

spike_train=cell(N,1);

for k=1:N

temp_train=rand*0.05+train_template/(cind(k)*8);

U=rand(size(temp_train));

spike_train{k}=find(U<temp_train);

end

g(1,1)=gramm('x',spike_train,'color',c);

g(1,1).geom_raster();

Options for separating groups across subplots with facet_grid()

To separate groups in different rows and columns of sublots, the grouping variable just need to be passed to the facet_grid(goup_rows,group_columns) function or facet_wrap(group_columns). Both have multiple options concerning the scaling of data between subplots.

In facet_grid(); the 'space' option allows to set how the subplot axes themselves scale with the data. It should be used in conjunction with the corresponding 'scale' option.

Using different groups for different stat_ and geom_ methods by superimposing gramm plots

By using the method update() after a first draw() call of a gramm object, it is possible to add or remove grouping variables. Here in a first gramm plot we make a glm fit of cars Acceleration as a function of Horsepower, across all countries and number of cylinders, and change the color options so that the fit appears in grey

g10(1,1).set_color_options('chroma',0,'lightness',30);

g10(1,1).stat_glm('geom','area','disp_fit',false);

g10.draw();

snapnow;

After the first draw() call, we call the update() method by specifying a new grouping variable determining colors. We also change the facet_grid() options, which will duplicate the fit made earlier across all new facets. Last, color options are reinitialized to default values

g10(1,1).update('color',cars.Cylinders);

g10(1,1).facet_grid([],cars.Origin_Region);

g10(1,1).set_color_options();

g10(1,1).geom_point();

g10.draw();

Customizing color maps with set_color_options()

With the method set_color_options(), automatic color generation for color and lightness groups can be tweaked

%Default: LCH-based colormap with hue variation

clear g

g(1,1)=gramm('x',cars.Origin,'y',cars.Horsepower,'color',cars.Origin);

g(1,2)=copy(g(1));

g(1,3)=copy(g(1));

g(2,1)=copy(g(1));

g(2,2)=copy(g(1));

g(1,1).stat_summary('geom',{'bar'},'dodge',0);

g(1,1).set_title('Default LCH (''color'' groups)','FontSize',12);

%Possibility to change the hue range as well as lightness and chroma of

%the LCH-based colormap

g(1,2).stat_summary('geom',{'bar'},'dodge',0);

g(1,2).set_color_options('hue_range',[-60 60],'chroma',40,'lightness',90);

g(1,2).set_title('Modified LCH (''color'' groups)','FontSize',12);

%Possibility to change the lightness and chroma range of the LCH-based

%colormap when a 'lightness' variable is given

g(1,3).stat_summary('geom',{'bar'},'dodge',0);

g(1,3).set_color_options('lightness_range',[0 95],'chroma_range',[0 0]);

g(1,3).set_title('Modified LCH (''lightness'' groups)','FontSize',12);

%Go back to Matlab's defauls colormap

g(2,1).stat_summary('geom',{'bar'},'dodge',0);

g(2,1).set_color_options('map','matlab');

g(2,1).set_title('Matlab 2014B+ ','FontSize',12);

%Brewer colormap 1

g(2,2).stat_summary('geom',{'bar'},'dodge',0);

g(2,2).set_color_options('map','brewer1');

g(2,2).set_title('Color Brewer 1','FontSize',12);

%Brewer colormap 2

g(2,3).stat_summary('geom',{'bar'},'dodge',0);

g(2,3).set_color_options('map','brewer2');

g(2,3).set_title('Color Brewer 2','FontSize',12);

%Some methods can be called on all objects at the same time !

g.axe_property('YLim',[0 140]);

g.axe_property('XTickLabelRotation',60); %Should work for recent Matlab versions

g.set_names('x','Origin','y','Horsepower','color','Origin','lightness','Origin');

g.set_title('Colormap customizations examples');

figure('Position',[100 100 800 600])

g.draw();

Using a continuous color scale

When the variable provided as 'color' contains too many different values (>15), or when set_continuous_color is used, gramm switches from a categorical color scale to a gradient-based continuous color scale.

load spectra.mat

%Here we create x as a 1xN array (see example above), and use a MxN matrix

%for y. Color applies to the M rows of y.

g18=gramm('x',900:2:1700,'y',NIR,'color',octane);

g18.set_names('x','Wavelength (nm)','y','NIR','color','Octane');

g18.set_continuous_color('colormap','hot');

g18.geom_line;

figure('Position',[100 100 800 450]);

g18.draw();

Changing the order of elements with set_order_options()

By default, gramm uses grouping data in increasing order of the group value (alphabetical for cellstr, numerical for arrays). Using set_order_options(), it is possible to fine tweak the orders of color, lightness, facet rows and columns, as well as categorical X

y=[36 38 40 42 44 46];

x={'XS' 'S' 'M' 'L' 'XL' 'XXL'};

clear g

%By default, both x and lightness are ordered according to sorted (here

%alphabetically) input

g(1,2)=gramm('x',x,'y',y,'lightness',x);

g(1,2).stat_summary('geom','bar','dodge',0);

g(1,2).set_title('Default output');

%By using set_order_options('x',0), x are presented in the raw input order. The

%color is still sorted

g(2,1)=gramm('x',x,'y',y,'lightness',x);

g(2,1).stat_summary('geom','bar','dodge',0);

g(2,1).set_order_options('x',0);

g(2,1).set_title('x in input order');

%By using set_order_options('x',0,'lightness',{'XS' 'S' 'M' 'L' 'XL'

%'XXL'}), we also order lightness in the desired order, here by

%directly providing the desired order.

g(2,2)=gramm('x',x,'y',y,'lightness',x);

g(2,2).stat_summary('geom','bar','dodge',0);

g(2,2).set_order_options('x',0,'lightness',{'XS' 'S' 'M' 'L' 'XL' 'XXL'});

g(2,2).set_title({'x in input order' 'lightness in custom order'});

%Examples below properly fail

%g(2,2).set_order_options('x',0,'lightness',{'XXL' 'XL' 'L' 'M' 'S' 'B'})

%g(2,2).set_order_options('x',0,'lightness',{'XXL' 'XL' 'L' 'M' 'S' 1})

%g(2,2).set_order_options('x',0,'lightness',{'XXL' 'XL' 'L' 'M' 'S'})

%It is also possible to set up a custom order (indices within the sorted

%input), here used to inverse lightness map. This way is a bit more

%practical for floating point numerical variables. For cells of string, the

%way above is easier.

g(2,3)=gramm('x',x,'y',y,'lightness',x);

g(2,3).stat_summary('geom','bar','dodge',0);

g(2,3).set_order_options('x',0,'lightness',[6 4 1 2 3 5]);

g(2,3).set_title({'x in input order' 'lightness in custom order'});

%Exampel below properly fail

%g(2,3).set_order_options('x',0,'lightness',[6 4 1 2 3 3])

g.set_names('x','US size','y','EU size','lightness','US size');

g.axe_property('YLim',[0 48]);

figure('Position',[100 100 800 600]);

g.draw();

Using different input formats for x and y (1D arrays, cells of arrays, 2D arrays)

Standard ggplot-like input (arrays for everything) Note the continuous line connecting all blue data points, gramm can't know when to start a new line in this case

Y=[1 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 7];

X=[1 2 3 4 5 0 1 2 3 4 -1 0 1 2 3];

C=[1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2];

figure

g11=gramm('x',X,'y',Y,'color',C);

g11.geom_line();

g11.draw();

Adding a group variable solves the problem in a ggplot-like way

G=[1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3];

figure

g12=gramm('x',X,'y',Y,'color',C,'group',G);

g12.geom_line();

g12.draw();

For a more matlab-like solution, Y and X can be 2D arrays, rows will automatically be considered as groups. as a consequence grouping data (color, etc...) are provided for the rows !

Y=[1 2 3 4 5;2 3 4 5 6; 3 4 5 6 7];

X=[1 2 3 4 5; 0 1 2 3 4; -1 0 1 2 3];

C=[1 2 2];

figure

g13=gramm('x',X,'y',Y,'color',C);

g13.geom_line();

g13.draw();

If all X values are the same, it's possible to provide X as a single row

X=[1 2 3 4 5];

figure

g14=gramm('x',X,'y',Y,'color',C);

g14.geom_line();

g14.draw();

Similar results can be obtained with cells of arrays

Y={[1 2 3 4 5] [2 3 4 5 6] [3 4 5 6 7]};

X={[1 2 3 4 5] [0 1 2 3 4] [-1 0 1 2 3]};

figure

g15=gramm('x',X,'y',Y,'color',C);

g15.geom_line();

g15.draw();

Y={[1 2 3 4 5] [2 3 4 5 6] [3 4 5 6 7]};

X=[1 2 3 4 5];

figure

g16=gramm('x',X,'y',Y,'color',C);

g16.geom_line();

g16.draw();

With cells of arrays, there is the opportunity to have different lengths for different groups

Y={[1 2 3 4 5] [3 4 5] [3 4 5 6 7]};

X={[1 2 3 4 5] [1 2 3] [-1 0 1 2 3]};

figure

g17=gramm('x',X,'y',Y,'color',C);

g17.geom_line();

g17.draw();
