Cómo utilizar R para crear diagramas de burbujas con rellenos de degradado

Question

Uso el código R a continuación para crear un diagrama de burbujas.

pdf(file='myfigure.pdf',height=10,width=13) 
y<-c(123,92,104,23,17,89,13) 
x<-c(11,45,24,50,18,7,2) 
size<-c(1236,1067,1176,610,539,864,1026) 
radius<-sqrt(size/pi) 
col<-c(2,2,3,4,5,5,6) 
name<-c("Acura", "Alfa Romeo","AM General","Aston Martin Lagonda","Audi","BMW","Bugatti") 

symbols(x,y, circles=radius,fg="white",bg=col,ylim=c(-20,140)) 
text(x, y, name, cex=1.5,font=4) 
dev.off() 

Pero quiero las burbujas con la superficie 3d, dicen los rellenos degradados y sombras. como el cuadro a continuación.

¿Alguien sabe cómo usar R para lanzarlo? ¡Gracias!

Gracias por todas las sugerencias.Mientras que finalmente probé de una manera tonta dibujando círculos múltiples de la oscuridad a la luz para que se llene de degradado. Alguna sugerencia para hacerlo mejor? ¡Gracias!

makeTransparent<-function(someColor, alpha) 
{ 
newColor<-col2rgb(someColor) 
apply(newColor, 2, function(curcoldata){rgb(red=curcoldata[1], green=curcoldata[2],           blue=curcoldata[3],alpha=alpha,maxColorValue=255)}) 
} 

pdf(file='myfigure.pdf',height=10,width=13) 
y<-c(123,92,104,23,17,89,13) 
x<-c(11,45,24,50,18,7,2) 
size<-c(1236,1067,1176,610,539,864,1026) 
radius<-sqrt(size/pi) 
col<-c(2,2,3,4,5,5,6) 
name<-c("Acura", "Alfa Romeo","AM General","Aston Martin Lagonda","Audi","BMW","Bugatti") 


x2<-c() 
y2<-c() 
circles<-c() 
bg<-c() 
fg<-c() 

num<-30 
radius_min<-0.3 
alpha_min<-40 
alpha_max<-180 

for (i in 1:num){ 

x2<-c(x2,x) 
y2<-c(y2,y) 
circles<-c(circles,radius*(radius_min+(i-1)*(1-radius_min)/num)) 
bg<-c(bg,makeTransparent(col,alpha=alpha_max-(i-1)*(alpha_max-alpha_min)/num)) 
if(i!=num){fg<-c(fg,makeTransparent(col,alpha=alpha_max-(i-1)*(alpha_max-alpha_min)/num))}else{fg<-c(fg,rep('white',length(x)))} 


} 




symbols(x2,y2,circles=circles,fg=fg,bg=bg) 
text(x, y, name, cex=1.5,font=4) 
dev.off()

Aquí es una solución (inspirado por @ solución de Edward como this question):

#First your data: 
y<-c(123,92,104,23,17,89,13) 
x<-c(11,45,24,50,18,7,2) 
size<-c(1236,1067,1176,610,539,864,1026) 
radius<-sqrt(size/pi) 
col<-c(2,2,3,4,5,5,6) 
name<-c("Acura", "Alfa Romeo","AM General","Aston Martin Lagonda","Audi","BMW","Bugatti") 

#Then a simple function to draw a circle based on its center and its radius: 
circle <- function (r, x0, y0, col){ 
    t <- seq(0, 2 * pi, by = 0.01) 
    x <- r * cos(t) + x0 
    y <- r * sin(t) + y0 
    lines(x, y, col=col) 
    } 

#This is a smoothing factor: 
sm <- 500 

#The asp parameter is important here since we are actually drawing the circles and not plotting some circle symbols: if asp is not equal to 1 they will appear as ellipse. 
plot(x,y,type="n",asp=1) 

#This can probably be vectorized but I'm not a good vectorizer so if anyone wants to give it a try: 
for(j in 1:length(x)){ 
    radius[j]*sm:1/sm -> radiuses 
    colorRampPalette(c(palette()[col[j]], "white"))->col_grad 
    col_grad(length(radiuses))->colx 
    for(i in 1:length(radiuses)){circle(radiuses[i], x[j], y[j], col=colx[i])} 
    } 

text(x, y, name, cex=1.5,font=4) 

Ver ?colorRampPalette para obtener más información sobre cómo funciona esta función.

Editar: con sombras

offset<-c(2,-2) #Offset of the shadow circles 
library(scales) #For function alpha 

plot(x,y,type="n",asp=1) 

for(j in 1:length(x)){ 
    radius[j]*sm:1/sm -> radiuses 
    colorRampPalette(c(palette()[col[j]], "white"))->col_grad 
    col_grad(length(radiuses))->colx 
    for(i in 1:length(radiuses)){circle(radiuses[i], x[j]+offset[1], y[j]+offset[2], col=alpha("grey90",0.1))} #the alpha, the nuance of grey can be tweaked with obviously for the desired effect 
    for(i in 1:length(radiuses)){circle(radiuses[i], x[j], y[j], col=colx[i])} 
    } 

text(x, y, name, cex=1.5,font=4)
