iris plot without ordination

[Christaline-George]

Hello David,

Is it possible to plot the iris-plot without taking into account the ordination. I just want to visualize the top 10-20 taxa by samples ordered by fixed categories rather than ordination.

Is this possible?

Hi, Christaline, no the iris plot functionality is not designed for this. You could do it manually by creating a comp_barplot with samples in the order you want and adding coord_polar.

(It can be quite tricky to get the sizing right, but if you're good with ggplot, you can probably manage this by getting some hints from the ord_plot_iris function code).

good luck!
David
