scale-binned
Binned scale that quantises a continuous variable into n-breaks bins.
Valid on x/y, size, alpha, linewidth, stroke, shape, and linetype; the per-row mapping stays continuous while the legend or axis snaps to bin midpoints.
Usage
scale-binned(
..args,
)Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
..args |
Named arguments forwarded to the bound scale (e.g. n-breaks, breaks, name, limits, and range or palette). |
Returns
Deferred scale spec consumed by scales.
Examples
Quantise the x axis into five equal-width bins.
#let d = range(0, 30).map(i => (x: i / 3.0, y: calc.sin(i / 4.0)))
#plot(
data: d,
mapping: aes(x: "x", y: "y"),
layers: (geom-point(size: 2pt),),
scales: scales(x: scale-binned(n-breaks: 5)),
width: 10cm,
height: 6cm,
)
