Determine plotting order of features.
Arguments
- aes
Visual variable for which the values determine the plotting order. Example: bubble map where the
"size"
aesthetic is used. A data variable (say population) is mapped via a continuous scale (tm_scale_continuous()
) to bubble sizes. The bubbles are plotted in order of size. How is determined by the other arguments. Use"DATA"
to keep the same order as in the data. Another special value are"AREA"
and"LENGTH"
which are preserved for polygons and lines respectively: rather than a data variable the polygon area / line lengths determines the plotting order.- reverse
Logical that determines whether the visual values are plotted in reversed order. The visual values (specified with tmap option
"values.var"
) are by default reversed, so plotted starting from the last value. In the bubble map example, this means that large bubbles are plotted first, hence at the bottom.- na.order
Where should features be plotted that have an
NA
value for (at least) one other aesthetic variable? In the (order)"mix"
, at the"bottom"
, or on"top"
? In the bubble map example: if fill color is missing for some bubble, where should those bubbles be plotted?- null.order
Where should non-selected (aka null) features be plotted?
- null.below.na
Should null features be plotted below NA features?
