从默认更改ggplot2 :: facet_wrap标题

Question

Is there any possible way to change the labels for the facet_wrap variable, as displayed below. So, for example, instead of cyl: 4 , cyl: 6 , cyl: 8 , I want it to read condition: 4 , condition: 6 , condition: 8 . Of course, I can just do this by renaming the variable, but that's not what I want. This is a much simpler version of a custom function where I can't just rename a variable anyway I like.

Another way to put this is, do I have any freedom to label the facet_wrap anyway I like? Kinda like how x aesthetic variable in ggplot2 can have some name (eg cyl ) in the dataframe ( mtcars ), but I can still replace it with my own name using labs(x = "cylinder") ). I want to have something similar for facet_wrap .

library(dplyr)
library(datasets)
library(ggplot2)
data(mtcars)

# creating a dataframe
df <- dplyr::group_by(mtcars, .dots = c('cyl', 'am')) %>%
  dplyr::summarize(counts = n()) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(perc = (counts / sum(counts)) * 100) %>%
  dplyr::arrange(desc(perc))

# preparing the plot
ggplot2::ggplot(df, aes('', counts)) +
  geom_col(
    position = 'fill',
    color = 'black',
    width = 1,
    aes(fill = factor(am))
  ) +
  facet_wrap(~cyl, labeller = "label_both") + # faceting by `cyl` variable
  geom_label(
    aes(label = paste0(round(perc), "%"), group = factor(am)),
    position = position_fill(vjust = 0.5),
    color = 'black',
    size = 5,
    show.legend = FALSE
  ) +
  coord_polar(theta = "y")

Answer 1

To change the facet labels you can provide a named vector of labels to the labeller argument in facet_wrap :

labeller = labeller(cyl = 
    c("4" = "condition: 4",
      "6" = "condition: 6",
      "8" = "condition: 8"))

Here is the full plot code:

ggplot2::ggplot(df, aes('', counts)) +
  geom_col(
    position = 'fill',
    color = 'black',
    width = 1,
    aes(fill = factor(am))
  ) +
  facet_wrap(~cyl, labeller = labeller(cyl = 
    c("4" = "condition: 4",
      "6" = "condition: 6",
      "8" = "condition: 8")
  )) 
  geom_label(
    aes(label = paste0(round(perc), "%"), group = factor(am)),
    position = position_fill(vjust = 0.5),
    color = 'black',
    size = 5,
    show.legend = FALSE
  ) +
  coord_polar(theta = "y")

EDIT based on the comments where a function to return labels is requested:

perhaps something like this:

label_facet <- function(original_var, custom_name){
  lev <- levels(as.factor(original_var))
  lab <- paste0(custom_name, ": ", lev)
  names(lab) <- lev
  return(lab)  
}


ggplot2::ggplot(df, aes('', counts)) +
  geom_col(
    position = 'fill',
    color = 'black',
    width = 1,
    aes(fill = factor(am))
  ) +
  facet_wrap(~cyl, labeller = labeller(cyl = label_facet(df$cyl, "grouping"))) +
geom_label(
  aes(label = paste0(round(perc), "%"), group = factor(am)),
  position = position_fill(vjust = 0.5),
  color = 'black',
  size = 5,
  show.legend = FALSE
) +
  coord_polar(theta = "y")

Answer 2

You can do this:

  ggplot2::ggplot(df, aes('', counts)) +
  geom_col(
    position = 'fill',
    color = 'black',
    width = 1,
    aes(fill = factor(am))
  ) +
  facet_wrap(~cyl, labeller = as_labeller(c(`4` = "Condition: 4", `6` = "Condition: 6", `8` = "Condition: 8"))) + # faceting by `cyl` variable
  geom_label(
    aes(label = paste0(round(perc), "%"), group = factor(am)),
    position = position_fill(vjust = 0.5),
    color = 'black',
    size = 5,
    show.legend = FALSE
  ) +
  coord_polar(theta = "y")
