据我所知,这里没有预先包装的解决方案来解决更一般的问题。
下面的示例介绍了几种添加附加轴的方法。第二种和更一般的方法(即使在沿着绘图边界添加轴时我倾向于使用该方法)通过首先推动视口并沿着其边缘添加轴来工作。通过将视口推入一英寸高度(例如),它可以让您生成一个在图上浮动一英寸的轴。使用提供的参数xlim=
参数推送视口还允许您设置其本地坐标系,该坐标系允许您避开一些其他需要的坐标系转换。
下面这些中等评论的代码还有很多,我会让你自己去探索一下!

## Functions for converting units between axes
year2salinity <- function(year) {33 + (1/30)*(year-1900)}
salinity2year <- function(salinity) 1900 + 30*(salinity-33)
year2copepod <- function(year) {1000 + 100*(year-1900)}
## A better pretty(). (base::pretty() will often return limits that
## run beyond plot's ends.)
prettyBetween <- function(x,...) {
xx <- pretty(x,...)
xx[xx >= min(x) & xx <= max(x)]
}
## Custom axis-drawing function to be invoked via xyplot(..., axis=customAxis)
customAxis <- function(side, ...) {
if (side == "top") {
xlim <- current.panel.limits()$xlim
## Method #1 (Only works for axis along side of plot)
atSalinity <- prettyBetween(year2salinity(xlim))
panel.axis(side = side, outside = TRUE, at=salinity2year(atSalinity),
labels = as.character(atSalinity),
rot=0)
grid.text("Salinity", gp=gpar(cex=0.9),
y=unit(1, "npc") + unit(2.5, "lines"))
## Method #2 (Works for "floating" axis or -- with viewport height=0 --
## for axis along side of plot.)
atCopepod <- prettyBetween(year2copepod(xlim))
pushViewport(viewport(height = unit(4, "lines"),
y = 1, just = "bottom",
xscale = year2copepod(xlim)))
panel.axis(side = side, outside = TRUE, at=atCopepod,
labels = as.character(atCopepod),
line.col = "grey65", text.col = "grey35", rot=0)
## panel.axis doesn't draw the axis' "baseline", so we do it using grid.axis
grid.xaxis(at = atCopepod, label = FALSE,
main = FALSE, gp = gpar(col="grey65"))
grid.text(expression("Copepods m"^{-3}), gp=gpar(cex=0.9, col="grey35"),
y=unit(1, "npc") + unit(2.5, "lines"))
popViewport()
}
else {
axis.default(side = side, ...)
}
}
xyplot(nhtemp ~ time(nhtemp), aspect = "xy", type = "o",
xlab = "Year", ylab = "Temperature",
axis = customAxis,
main = "Yearly temperature, salinity, and copepod abundance",
scales = list(x=list(alternating=3)),
## Set up key.axis.padding (an element of each lattice plot's layout) to
## understand values in terms of lines...
lattice.options=list(layout.heights=list(key.axis.padding=list(x=1,units="lines"))),
## ... so that you can tell it you need 6 "lines" of space for axes
par.settings = list(layout.heights=list(key.axis.padding=6)))

补充说明,主要是为我自己:
上面的代码需要既panel.axis()
和grid.xaxis()
调用,这是不甚理想。我们需要调用grid.xaxis()
(并且就此而言定义函数prettyBetween()
)的唯一原因是panel.axis()
绘制刻度线和标签,但不绘制轴基线。如果panel.axis()
有选择这样做,这里的事情会更简单。要了解这将是一样,运行trace()
到一些额外的基线绘制代码附加到每个panel.axis()
电话...
trace(panel.axis,
exit=expression(
grid.lines(x = unit(at[c(1,length(at))], "native"),
y = unit(c(1,1), "npc"),
gp = gp.line)))
....之后调用面板轴(带side=="top"
)将绘制我们想要的基线。
您是否可以包含指向您要查找的类型图的链接? (我会特别感兴趣的是看到一个三轴x轴。) –
非常感谢。好点子。我添加了一个例子。往上看! –
