I have been making some segment plots with five variables. They work great,
especially when I used a different scale function, which scaled them by area of
the circle rather than radius
scale <- function(x, Mr = 1 , Mx = 100) { ((x/Mx)^.5)*Mr}
Where x is the the value, Mr is the Maximum radius, and Mx is the maximum data
value. You could change the exponent .5 to .57 if you wanted Flannery
compensation.
My problem is that I want the print size of these proportional symbols to be
the same regardless of the number of data points
as in this example, where exporting these two plots as PDF(which have been
scaled) will produce different size symbols for the same value, when compared
side by side.I've tried manually setting the ncol and nrow attributes, and it
still produces different results for the data sets.
stars(large[2:6], draw.segments = TRUE, labels = large$size,scale = FALSE,
flip.labels = TRUE, axes = TRUE,)
stars(small[2:6], draw.segments = TRUE, labels = small$size,scale = FALSE,
flip.labels = TRUE, axes = TRUE,)
Thanks!
