Quantiles/the 50% line

Open region-spotteR opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

I did some work on radars recently and used your package as one starting point to build my own package. That said, I was quite irritated by the 50% lines in your plot. They are not the 50% quantiles. They are just the middle between the maximum and the minimum values in your radar.

Don't know whether this problem belongs here - I'm new - but I would suggest to remove them or at least to remove them from the default option. Some hint in the documentation would also help.

Hi,

I just came across a similar problem using the package. I wanted to remove the 50% and 100% labels from the plot for similar reasons, and a little trick that worked for me was to set grid.label.size = 0 and label.gridline = FALSE (for some reason, the only label that has a parameter to eliminate it is the 0 one). Changing that parameter removes the labels, which at least helps with the quantile vs middle point confusion... However, I agree that the ideal and long-term solution would be to let the users choose whether they want to include these lines in their plots or not.

Honestly, the ideal situation would be to choose what the gridlines represent. I do not want to scale. I want my raw values. I cannot get it to print out the middle raw value, and max raw value.
