r - How can I attach a list of custom color palettes to a list of ggplot objects without printing each plot object to the screen? -


i have data frame in r in several of columns factors. i'd create series of bar charts showing relative sizes of each of factor levels. want associate own customized color palettes each of factors, , customize final layout of of bars , legends using gridextra package.

i wrote example script think should achieve that, however, obtained rather surprising result:

library(ggplot2) library(grdevices) library(gridextra)  # define dummy data , put in data frame fruit <- factor(c("apple", "orange", "pear", "pear", "pear",                   "orange", "apple", "apple", "apple", "pear")) cheese <- factor(c("cheddar", "mozarella", "gruyere", "gruyere", "gouda",                    "parmesan", "gruyere", "gouda", "mozarella", "cheddar")) mydata <- data.frame(fruit, cheese) mydata$dummy <- 0  # define custom color schemes foodclrs <- list() # plot fruit factor in shades of red h <- c(0.0,  0.0,  0.0) s <- c(0.95, 0.85, 0.45) v <- c(0.45, 0.85, 0.95) foodclrs[[1]] <- hsv(h, s, v) # plot cheese factor in shades of green h <- c(0.33, 0.33, 0.33, 0.33, 0.33) s <- c(0.95, 0.93, 0.85, 0.69, 0.45) v <- c(0.45, 0.69, 0.85, 0.93, 0.95) foodclrs[[2]] <- hsv(h, s, v)  # create vectors individualized text each plot bsiz=20 fillvars <- c("fruit", "cheese") xlabels <- c("fruits", "cheeses") lgdlabels <- c("types of fruit", "types of cheese")  # generate list of plots plots <- list() (ii in 1:2) {   plots[[ii]] <- ggplot(data=mydata) +      geom_bar(aes_string(x="dummy", fill=fillvars[ii]),              position=position_stack(reverse=true)) +     scale_fill_manual(values=foodclrs[[ii]], drop=false) +     theme_bw(base_size=bsiz) +     labs(x=xlabels[ii], y="") +      theme(axis.ticks.y=element_blank(),           axis.text.y=element_blank()) +     guides(fill=guide_legend(title=lgdlabels[ii])) +     coord_flip() #  print(plots[[ii]]) }  # print plots on own custom-shaped grid print(grid.arrange(plots[[1]], plots[[2]], ncol=1, nrow=2))

the output of script looks this: incorrect output--both bar charts in shades of green, top 1 should in shades of red.

this not expecting: color palette upper bar chart should have been range of shades of red. seems that, although defined plot object plots[[1]] have red color palette associated it, when went print it, either r or ggplot2 (i'm not sure which) decided use recent color palette instead; i.e., 1 associated plots[[2]].

now here's weird part. if uncomment print statement in for loop, 2 individual plots rendered in correct color scheme (for brevity, not bother include either of them here), and, more interestingly, combined bar chart object inside grid.arrange() function displays correct color scheme: correctly colored plots, using workaround technique.

while happy have stumbled across little workaround, i'm curious: why work in first place?

that say, how calling "print" statement @ correct moment inside of for loop causes color palette become permanently attached each ggplot object, when otherwise not?

what's going on here, "underneath hood", speak? , also, there less kludgy way correct problem? example, there other function call instead of print(), color palette attach correctly each plot object, without creating bunch of individual "dummy" plots don't need?

ggplot2 isn't scoping. possible workaround wrap things in function, surprised need force(),

f <- function(var, fill, xlab, lab){   force(fill)   ggplot(data=mydata) +      geom_bar(aes_string(x="dummy", fill=var),              position=position_stack(reverse=true)) +     scale_fill_manual(values=fill) +     theme_bw(base_size=bsiz) +     labs(x=xlab, y="") +     theme(axis.ticks.y=element_blank(),           axis.text.y=element_blank()) +     guides(fill=guide_legend(title=lab)) +     coord_flip() }  pl <- purrr::pmap(.f = f,                    .l = list(var=fillvars, fill=foodclrs,                             xlab=xlabels,lab=lgdlabels))  grid.arrange(grobs=pl, nrow=2)

angular - Ionic slides - dynamically add slides before and after -

hi i'm using ngfor create set of 3 slides while starting in middle i'm guaranteed able slide left or right on start. when slide right can simple listen reachedend , push slide array i'm looping. but have problem adding slide beginning. if same above , use e.g. array.unshift() or spread add item beginning, view think it's on position 0 , snaps view new slide. the code below work animates slide change index 1. slide = [0,1,2] //example loop slidechanged(event) { if(this.slides.isbeginning()){ this.slide = [this.slide[0]-1, ...this.slide]; this.slides.update(); this.slides.slideto(1) } } <ion-slides [initialslide]="1" (ionslidedidchange)="slidechanged($event)"> <ion-slide *ngfor="let item of slide"> <h1>slide {{item}}</h1> </ion-slide> </ion-slides> any appreciated! you can using ionslidenextend , ionslideprevend events slides . please...

Add a dynamic header in angular 2 http provider -

i have http interceptor built via tutorial https://scotch.io/@kashyapmukkamala/using-http-interceptor-with-angular2 the problem need have dynamic header changes automatically once changes 'mode' in app. service able tell interceptor change header, or have interceptor pull header (which string)from service each request. able throwing away patch method, call http.patch('new header string') set header string. call in service controls 'mode' setting. wondering if there way interceptor pull recent value service each request or if can add method http provider via interceptor? i've tried call service in interceptor each request returns undefined. because creating new instance of service or copying value before service fired , loaded/changed data. i don't want pass header string every http provider call because defeats purpose of having interceptor, id able set once changes or have provider fetch service before makes request. tl;dr : need add autom...

minify - Minimizing css files -

i want know how css files can minimized. currently, using external sites css minifier compress css files. however, after removing whitespaces, comments, etc, file sizes reduced 10-15%. how frameworks bootstrap manage make minimized versions kilobytes. as example, css is: body { background-color: #ff0; } the reduction goes 28 bytes 22 bytes other css files have lot more characters still smaller this. actually minifying code means it's remove thing code white space characters new line characters comments block delimiters it reduces amount of code has transferred on web , speed site load fastly.but unreadable format.
