Recipes about plots.jl HOT 11 CLOSED

Here's another good one that should probably be a recipe:

from plots.jl.

👍 This is great. Colors based on correlations are a nice touch! Could Plots just have this as a function scatterplotmatrix(x)?

from plots.jl.

Yeah that's probably reasonable too... although it would be really cool to implement it as a recipe attached to the OnlineStats.CovarianceMatrix. We could do things like add an update! function to the recipe which could add data points to the scatters and adjust the colors on the fly as new data is added to the model. That's harder if it's just sitting as a standalone (static) method within Plots. Just brainstorming here...

from plots.jl.

I like the updating idea. Maybe OnlineStats could have an update_plot! function similar to update_get!?

from plots.jl.

I tightened up the layout and removed the inner tick labels... much nicer I think:

from plots.jl.

This works on dev now:

using Plots, OnlineStats
gadfly()
default(size=(800,800),leg=false)

n = 1000
x = randn(n)
y = 2randn(n) + 0.5x
z = 0.2randn(n) + 0.5x - 0.1y
v = -x

M = [x y z v]
C = cor(CovarianceMatrix(M))

corrplot(M, C, colors=[colorant"red", colorant"black", colorant"green"])

from plots.jl.

This is really cool! If you allow me a remark then it would be to reduce the overplotting a bit. The circles seem to be suboptimal for this type of plot.

I'm experimenting with a method Plots._apply_recipe which would get called within plot! and subplot!, and allow for implementing arbitrary recipes which can be called like:

plot(mycustomtype, otherargs...; kwargs...)

This may make PlotRecipes obsolete...

from plots.jl.

The purpose of recipes always appeared to me to be reusable small building blocks for things that you don't usually plot on their own. The ellipse seems like a good example. One rarely wants to plot just an ellipse, but there may be reasons (such as PCA) to include one in the plot

from plots.jl.

I agree... had the same thought after I posted. However, it probably makes more sense to bypass the PlotRecipe type and just create a new standalone type:

type EllipseRecipe
  ...
end

function Plots._apply_recipe(d::Dict, ellipse::EllipseRecipe; kw...)
  # update d
  # return (x,y)
end

I could keep PlotRecipe around just for informational purposes, but no real dispatch use.
