Hopefully this is a quick answer. I just created a bubble plot in ggplot2 to showcase abundances of taxa in certain environments, snapshot shown below:
Is there a way I may "condense" all this white space?
Thanks in advance,
J
With the help of chemdork123 and an hour of messing around, I would like to post the solution to my question!
Two ways to make bubble plots more aesthetically pleasing by minimizing white space:
ggsave() parameters width, height, and dpi.
scale_size_continuous(range = c(1,15))with manual adjustment of circle sizes.

I am trying to match the "teletext holidays" in the image below (with the white bits connecting all the letters:
I have achieved the following by going to the layers section, right-clicking the text layer, and select “Blending Options.” Then marking the checkbox next to “Stroke.”
Any hints or tips to point me in the correct direction would be appreciated. I appreciate moving the letters within the font closer together will help so will work on that now.
Any help appreciated.
Update:
Made the letters appear closer together. However, using stroke is making the black letters "shrink" in size so think a different solution is required. Thoughts?
With regard to that final image and the black letters appearing smaller. When applying the stroke, tick to indicate that it should be outside and not center or inside
And with helping to ensure that the white parts do meet.... Hmm... Well. Difficult to do the horiztonal stroke without it also applying vertically.
I would agree with others that Illustrator would be better but in Photoshop I might try to duplicate the text, make it all white, put it on the layer behind your main text and manually create a horizontal white pattern.
^ I really hope somebody has a better idea for that last bit though.
Alan,
I would like to help you with this issue. First of all your reference design is designed in adobe illustrator not in photoshop because there is some limitation in photoshop for the stroke feature.
So I would like to suggest you design it in adobe illustrator and not waste your valuable time in photoshop for your desired output.
If you need more help regarding it feel free to contact me at niravmistrydata#gmail.com.
Thank you,

I have a problem with the filled circles I create with ggplot2. I have tried everything but I still cannot solve this problem. Regardless of what type of plot I make (including maps), the filled circles always have their edges like shown in the picture below. I tried adjusting (when ggsaving) height, width and ppi but none helped. Does anybody know how I can solve this? Thanks in advance. The symbol type here is 19 but the same thing happens with all kinds of circle shapes.
I have some lines that are connected at various points. I want to draw the outline of these lines and I also want to deal with the extra lines at the connection points.
I have seen two similar questions in this website: Here and here
I have handled the normal cases by offsetting the Centerlines and then changing the start and end points of the lines.
but I haven't been able to deal with special cases when the points are near each other.
Unfortunately, my reputation is low I couldn't post images to explain this better.
I'm coding in Visual Basic .net and I'm writing for Autocad, but any advice will be very useful to me.
most problem cases are solved by translation vectors intersection check
black is the original line/curve whatever ...
gray is translation vector (normal to black and size = outline distance)
blue is outline
if the translation vectors not intersect then it is most likely all OK but if they do then just do something like this:
cut off these points from outline
or create some singular point from these intersections
it is more tricky but can avoid some problem cases from bullet #1
Also sometimes help if there is bigger density of control points
Hope it helps a little...
I'm using core plot 1.0. Currently I'm making the X axis draw say 20 points above the bottom of the screen (so the labels can show up) by defining the Y range a little bit below 0.
Now I was asked that the origin point should be 0.0 and there should not be anything below 0 in both axes, so I'm now looking at the core plot documentation and scratching my head with the following question:
What property do I need to set to move the axes at the position I'd like to and also keep on showing the point labels and axis titles?
Thanks a lot!
I've found it so I leave it here for if somebody else needs help with this.
It is kind of tricky, you need to adjust the xRange and yRange on the plot space so it's big enough to draw the labels, the ticks and the titles and then adjust the visibleRange property on each axis. At this point you get the amount of axis you want and still displaying the information you need.
If someone knows a better way please share :)
I need to paint the line which links two points.
I am doing it, in Java. I receive two points as parameters and I have to calculate if the straight line between them, is inside the black figure.
I developed my own solution using the straight line equation, but my results are different than using the "professional" programs (such as GIMP or even MS Paint).
Here is a example of what I want:

But my algorithm does this:

*The green point is out of the figure and this is not possible.
Any ideas? Anyone know which code is been using for this, in "professional" apps?
Thanks!
Daniel.
EDIT: Images
It looks like you are truncating instead of rounding to the nearest pixel. Difficult to see on those small black ink splotches. Could you post the code?
"Professional" programs most likely use Bresenham's line algorithm.
Look at Bresenham's line drawing algorithm
Straignt lines are drawn using Bresenham's algorithm usually. I didn't get your point about green point being out of the figure - there's clipping to not waste time drawing outside the visible area.
