Usage

The plot can be customized in many ways. For that, parameters with the according values have to be passed along with the function call. Examples for function calls are depicted below.

Available Parameters

ParameterDefaultExampleDescription
title::String""title="My Title"The Title of the Figure,
colormap:viridiscolormap=:thermalThe Colors of the Lines
color_featurenothingcolor_feature="weight"The Color of the Lines will be based on the values of this selected feature. If nothing, the last feature will be used.
feature_labelsnothingfeature_labels=["Weight","Age"]Add your own Axis labels, just make sure to use the exact amount of labels you have
feature_selectionnothingfeature_selection=["weight","age"]Select which features should be Displayed. If color_feature is not in this List, use the last one
curvefalsecurve=trueEither curved edges or sharp edges
showcolorlegendnothingshowcolorlegend=trueShow the Color Legend. If parameter not set & color_feature not shown, it will be displayed automatically
scalenothingscale=[identity, log, log2, log10, sqrt]Choose the scale of the axis. There must be one for each Y-axis.

Examples

julia> using ParallelPlots
julia> parallelplot(DataFrame(height=160:180,weight=60:80,age=20:40))
# If you want to set the size of the plot (default width:800, height:600)
julia> parallelplot( DataFrame(height=160:180,weight=60:80,age=20:40), figure = (resolution = (300, 300),) )
# You can update as well the Graph with Observables
julia> df_observable = Observable(DataFrame(height=160:180,weight=60:80,age=20:40))
julia> fig, ax, sc = parallelplot(df_observable)
# If you want to add a Title for the Figure, sure you can!
julia> parallelplot(DataFrame(height=160:180,weight=reverse(60:80),age=20:40),title="My Title")
# If you want to specify the axis labels, make sure to use the same number of labels as you have axis!
julia> parallelplot(DataFrame(height=160:180,weight=reverse(60:80),age=20:40), feature_labels=["Height","Weight","Age"])
# Adjust Color and and feature
parallelplot(df,
        # You choose which axis/feature should be in charge for the coloring
        color_feature="weight",
        # you can as well select, which Axis should be shown
        feature_selection=["height","age","income"],
        # and label them as you like
        feature_labels=["Height","Age","Income"],
        # you can change the ColorMap (https://docs.makie.org/dev/explanations/colors)
        colormap=:thermal,
        # ...and can choose to display the color legend.
        # If this Attribute is not set,
        # it will only show the ColorBar, when the color feature is not in the selected feature
        show_color_legend = true
    )
# Adjust the Axis scale
parallelplot(df,
        feature_selection=["height","age","income"],
        scale=[log2, identity, log10]
    )

Working on ParallelPlots / Cheatsheet

  1. Using ParallelPlots
    • Moving to the project folder
    • julia --project
      • You will see julia>
    • To move to the pkg, type in ]
  1. Running commands
    • Adding external Dependencies
      • (ParallelPlots) pkg>add 'DepName'
    • Run Tests to check if ParallelPlots is still working as intended
      • (ParallelPlots) pkg>test
    • Build
      • (ParallelPlots) pkg>build
    • Precompile
      • (ParallelPlots) pkg>precompile
