do_WafflePlot() | Pictogram proportions

Waffle plots display proportions as a 10×10 grid where each cell represents 1% of the data. This pictogram format makes it easy to intuitively grasp relative proportions.

Basic usage

p <- SCpubr::do_WafflePlot(sample = sample,
                           group.by = "subtype")
p

Each tile in the 10×10 grid represents 1% of cells. The grid is filled proportionally by each cluster’s frequency.

Customize tile size

Adjust the spacing between tiles:

# Thicker borders
p <- SCpubr::do_WafflePlot(sample = sample,
                           group.by = "subtype",
                           waffle.size = 4)

p

# Thinner borders
p <- SCpubr::do_WafflePlot(sample = sample,
                           group.by = "subtype",
                           waffle.size = 1)
p

Orientation

# Horizontal (default)
p <- SCpubr::do_WafflePlot(sample = sample,
                           group.by = "subtype",
                           flip = TRUE)

p

Custom colors

colors <- c("ATRT-TYR" = "#E63946", "ATRT-SHH" = "#457B9D", "ATRT-MYC" = "#1D3557")

p <- SCpubr::do_WafflePlot(sample = sample,
                           group.by = "subtype",
                           colors.use = colors)
p
