Line Plot

plot_rank plots a rank vs relative abundance diagram.

plot_rank(object, ...)

# S4 method for CountMatrix
plot_rank(object, log = NULL, facet = TRUE)

# S4 method for AbundanceMatrix
plot_rank(object, log = NULL, facet = TRUE)

Arguments

object	An object to be plotted.
...	Further arguments to be passed to internal methods.
log	A character string which contains "x" if the x axis is to be logarithmic, "y" if the y axis is to be logarithmic and "xy" or "yx" if both axes are to be logarithmic (base 10).
facet	A logical scalar: should a matrix of panels defined by case/sample be drawn?

Value

A ggplot object.

Examples

## Abundance matrix
## Coerce datasets to a count matrix (data from Desachy 2004)
compiegne_count <- as_count(compiegne)

## Plot rank vs abundance
plot_rank(compiegne_count)
plot_rank(compiegne_count, facet = FALSE)
