如何用密度图叠加线图？ （R，ggplot2）

Question

Hi how do I overlap the following curves in one graph? Any help's appreciated. Thank you!

library(ggplot2)

x = -10:10
y = dnorm(x, mean=0, sd=3)
df.norm = data.frame('x'=x, 'y'=y)

ggplot(data=df.norm, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
        geom_line() +
        geom_point()

random = data.frame('x'=rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 3))

ggplot(random, aes(x=x)) + 
        geom_density(size=1)

I tried the following and it didn't work

ggplot(data=df.norm, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
        geom_line() +
        geom_point() +
        geom_density(random, aes(x=x), size=1)

ggplot2

A more concise version in ggplot2 using the argument inherit.aes = FALSE inside geom_density to override the default aesthetics used in the previous two layers.

library(ggplot2)
set.seed(2017)
x = -10:10
y = dnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 3)
df.norm = data.frame('x' = x, 'y' = y)
random = data.frame('x' = rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 3))

ggplot(data = df.norm, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_line() +
  geom_point() +
  geom_density(data = random,
               aes(x = x),
               inherit.aes = FALSE,
               size = 1)

Base

Adapting the solution provided by scoa to the base package:

plot(df.norm, type = "l", bty = "n", las = 1)
points(df.norm, pch= 19)
lines(density(random$x), lwd = 2)

Adding a legend, and a different colour for the density curve:

plot(df.norm, type = "l", bty="n", las = 1)
points(df.norm, pch= 19)
lines(density(random$x), lwd =2, col = 'orange')
legend(x = "topleft", 
       c("df.norm", "Density plot"),
       col = c("black", "orange"),
       lwd = c(2, 2),
       bty = "n")
