Miscellaneous

Panning and Zooming

Use the ggtb function to enable Pan and Zoom interactivity on a chart.

This function adds a toolbar containing three tool-buttons: pan, rubber-band zoom, and center-point zoom.

See: interact_pan_zoom.ipynb

Extended Text Markup

In tooltips/labels/texts and wherever else there is text, you can use:

Interactive links, e.g. <a href="https://github.com">GitHub</a>.
See: lp_verse.ipynb
Limited LaTeX support:
- superscript, e.g. \( a^b \);
- subscript, e.g. \( x_i \);
- Greek letters, e.g. \( \Omega \), and
- some special symbols, e.g. \( a \cdot b \neq c \).
See: latex_support.ipynb
Limited markdown support:
- emphasis (*, **, ***, _, __, ___),
- coloring with inline style (<span style='color:red'>text</span>),
- links with anchor tags (<a href="https://lets-plot.org">Lets-Plot</a>), and
- multiple lines using double space and a newline delimiter (\n).
See: markdown.ipynb

Manual Legend

In Lets-Plot, as in ggplot2, legends are automatically generated based on the aesthetic mappings in the plot. Sometimes, however, this automatic generation doesn't provide the precise control needed for complex visualizations. Parameter manualKey and aesthetic parameters of the guideLegend() function addresses this limitation.

See: manual_legend.ipynb

Multiple Color Scales

Use colorBy/fillBy parameters and paint_a/paint_b/paint_c aesthetics if you need to display two different layers with the same color aesthetic but different color scales.
