som_barplane
Purpose
Visualizes the map prototype vectors as bar charts.
Syntax
h = som_barplane(topol, data)
h = som_barplane(lattice, msize, data)
h = som_barplane(..., color)
h = som_barplane(..., color, scaling)
h = som_barplane(..., color, scaling, gap)
h = som_barplane(..., color, scaling, gap, pos)
Description
Visualizes the map prototype vectors as bar charts.
Required input arguments
lattice The basic shape of the map units
(string) 'hexa' or 'rect' positions the bar charts according to
hexagonal or rectangular map lattice
msize The size of the map grid
(vector) [n1 n2] vector defines the map size (height: n1 units widht: n2
units, total: M=n1xn2 units). The units will be placed to their
topological locations in order to form a uniform hexagonal or
rectangular grid.
(matrix) Mx2 matrix defines arbitary coordinates for the N units. In
this case the argument 'lattice' has no effect
topol Topology of the map grid
(struct) map or topology struct from which the topology is taken
data The data to use when constructing the bar charts.
Typically, the map codebook or some of its components.
(matrix) Mxd matrix. A row defines heights of the bars.
Optional input arguments
Note: if unspecified or given an empty value ('' or []), default
values are used for optional input arguments.
color The color of the bars in each pie
(ColorSpec) or (string) 'none' gives the same color for each slice.
(matrix) dx3 matrix assigns an RGB color determined by the dth row of
the matrix to the dth bar (variable) in each bar plot.
Default value is hsv(d).
scaling How to scale the values
(string) 'none', 'unitwise' or 'varwise'. This determines the
scaling of codebook values when drawing the bars.
'none' don't scale at all. The bars are not limited
to remain inside he units' area: That is, if value of
some variable exceeds [-.625,.625] for 'rect' (and
in "worst case" [-.5,-.5] for 'hexa') the bars may
overlap other units.
Base line (zero value line)
- is in the middle of the unit if data (codebook) contains both
negative and positive values (or is completely zero).
- is in the top the unit if data (codebook) contains only
non-positive values (everything <=0).
- is in the bottom the unit if data (codebook) contains only
non-negative values (everything >=0).
'varwise' scales values so that each variable is scaled separately
so that when it gets its overall maximum value, the
corresponding bar gets maximum range and for minimum value
it gets the minimum range. Baseline: see scaling 'none'
This is the default.
'unitwise' scales values in each unit individually so that the
bars for variables having minimum and maximum values have minimum
and maximum range inside each unit, respectively.
In this case the zero value line may move depending on the values.
