### ** Examples ## No test: p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) # A basic scatter plot p + geom_point(size = 4)
# Using the colour aesthetic p + geom_point(aes(colour = factor(cyl)), size = 4)
# Using the shape aesthetic p + geom_point(aes(shape = factor(cyl)), size = 4)
# Using fill p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl))) p + geom_bar()
p + geom_bar(aes(fill = factor(cyl)))
p + geom_bar(aes(fill = factor(vs)))
# Using linetypes ggplot(economics_long, aes(date, value01)) + geom_line(aes(linetype = variable))
# Multiple groups with one aesthetic p <- ggplot(nlme::Oxboys, aes(age, height)) # The default is not sufficient here. A single line tries to connect all # the observations. p + geom_line()
# To fix this, use the group aesthetic to map a different line for each # subject. p + geom_line(aes(group = Subject))
# Different groups on different layers p <- p + geom_line(aes(group = Subject)) # Using the group aesthetic with both geom_line() and geom_smooth() # groups the data the same way for both layers p + geom_smooth(aes(group = Subject), method = "lm", se = FALSE)
# Changing the group aesthetic for the smoother layer # fits a single line of best fit across all boys p + geom_smooth(aes(group = 1), size = 2, method = "lm", se = FALSE)
# Overriding the default grouping # Sometimes the plot has a discrete scale but you want to draw lines # that connect across groups. This is the strategy used in interaction # plots, profile plots, and parallel coordinate plots, among others. # For example, we draw boxplots of height at each measurement occasion. p <- ggplot(nlme::Oxboys, aes(Occasion, height)) + geom_boxplot() p
# There is no need to specify the group aesthetic here; the default grouping # works because occasion is a discrete variable. To overlay individual # trajectories, we again need to override the default grouping for that layer # with aes(group = Subject) p + geom_line(aes(group = Subject), colour = "blue")
