Produces a ggplot2-based GGE-GT-GYT biplot based on a model fitted with the functions gge(), gtb(), and gytb().

Usage

# S3 method for gge
plot(
  x,
  var = 1,
  type = 1,
  repel = TRUE,
  repulsion = 1,
  max_overlaps = 20,
  sel_env = NA,
  sel_gen = NA,
  sel_gen1 = NA,
  sel_gen2 = NA,
  shape.gen = 21,
  shape.env = 23,
  line.type.gen = "dotted",
  size.shape = 2.2,
  size.shape.win = 3.2,
  size.stroke = 0.3,
  col.stroke = "black",
  col.gen = "blue",
  col.env = "forestgreen",
  col.line = "forestgreen",
  col.alpha = 1,
  col.circle = "gray",
  col.alpha.circle = 0.5,
  leg.lab = NULL,
  size.text.gen = 3.5,
  size.text.env = 3.5,
  size.text.lab = 12,
  size.text.win = 4.5,

)

Arguments

x

An object with classes gge gtb, or gytb.

var

The variable to plot (useful for gge objects. Defaults to var = 1 the first variable of x.

type

The type of biplot to produce.

  1. Basic biplot.

  2. Mean performance vs. stability (gge biplots) or the The Average Tester Coordination view for genotype-trait and genotype-yield*trait biplots.

  3. Which-won-where.

  4. Discriminativeness vs. representativeness.

  5. Examine an environment (or trait/yield*trait combination).

  6. Ranking environments (or trait/yield*trait combination).

  7. Examine a genotype.

  8. Ranking genotypes.

  9. Compare two genotypes.

  10. Relationship among environments (or trait/yield*trait combination).

repel

If TRUE (default), the text labels repel away from each other and away from the data points.

repulsion

Force of repulsion between overlapping text labels. Defaults to 1.

max_overlaps

Exclude text labels that overlap too many things. Defaults to 20.

sel_env, sel_gen

The name of the environment (or trait/yield*trait combination) and genotype to examine when type = 5 and type = 7, respectively. Must be a string which matches a environment or genotype label.

sel_gen1, sel_gen2

The name of genotypes to compare between when type = 9. Must be a string present in the genotype's name.

shape.gen, shape.env

The shape for genotype and environment indication in the biplot. Defaults to shape.gen = 21 (circle) for genotypes and shape.env = 23 (rhombus) for environments. Values must be between 21-25: 21 (circle), 22 (square), 23 (rhombus), 24 (up triangle), and 25 (low triangle).

line.type.gen

The line type to highlith the genotype's vectors. Defaults to line.type.gen == "dotted.

size.shape

The size of the shape (both for genotypes and environments). Defaults to 2.2.

size.shape.win

The size of the shape for winners genotypes when type = 3. Defaults to 3.2.

size.stroke, col.stroke

The width and color of the border, respectively. Default to size.stroke = 0.3 and col.stroke = "black". The size of the shape will be size.shape + size.stroke

col.gen, col.env, col.line

Color for genotype/environment labels and for the line that passes through the biplot origin. Defaults to col.gen = 'blue', col.env = 'forestgreen', and col.line = 'forestgreen'.

col.alpha

The alpha value for the color. Defaults to 1. Values must be between 0 (full transparency) to 1 (full color).

col.circle, col.alpha.circle

The color and alpha values for the circle lines. Defaults to 'gray' and 0.4, respectively.

leg.lab

The labs of legend. Defaults to NULL is c('Env', 'Gen').

size.text.gen, size.text.env, size.text.lab

The size of the text for genotypes, environments and labels, respectively.

size.text.win

The text size to use for winner genotypes where type = 3 and for the two selected genotypes where type = 9. Defaults to 4.5.

size.line

The size of the line in biplots (Both for segments and circles).

axis_expand

multiplication factor to expand the axis limits by to enable fitting of labels. Defaults to 1.2

title

Logical values (Defaults to TRUE) to include automatically generated information in the plot such as singular value partitioning, scaling and centering.

plot_theme

The graphical theme of the plot. Default is plot_theme = theme_metan(). For more details, see ggplot2::theme().

...

Currently not used.

Value

A ggplot2-based biplot.

An object of class gg, ggplot.
