Customize x-axis

[aaronejaime]

Hey! I'm already loving fantaxtic so much!

I was just wondering if there have been an update (or maybe a function that I'm ignoring) where I can customize de x-axis and instead of 'Sample' choose another column in metadata?

Thanks

Hi aaronjaime,

Thanks for your interest. I am no longer actively maintaining this package, so there haven't been any updates. I'll outline some potential solutions that might work for what you want to achieve.

One option is to use the facet_by or grid_by options to split the plot by other columns in the metadata. An alternative is to re-label your Sample names to include your column of interest (e.g. "level_A_sample_1", "level_A_sample_2", "level_B_sample_1"). Furthermore, you could order your x-axis factor levels manually and specify fantaxtic_bar(ps_obj, ... , order_alg = "as.is"), that way the plot should come out by your custom ordering. Something else you could try is to simply add a new x-axis scale, e.g. fantaxtic_bar(ps_tmp, ... ) + scale_x_discrete(labels = c("new_lab_A" = "old_label_1", ...)). Finally, you could modify the ggplot tables and rebuild the object.

Hope this is of any help.
