I have a quite straightforward question. I would line to have a bar chart for var1, var2, var3 and var4 and a line chart for var5. Line and bars should be in the same chart. How can I get it keeping the long format with ggplot?
set.seed(1984)
start_date <- as.Date('2015-01-01')
end_date <- as.Date('2017-01-01')
date_yq <- as.Date(sample( as.numeric(start_date): as.numeric(end_date), 50,
replace = T),
origin = '1970-01-01')
var1 <- runif(50)
var2 <- runif(50)
var3 <- runif(50)
var4 <- runif(50)
var5 <- var1+var2+var3+var4
country <- c("AT","AT","AT","BE","BE","CY","CY","CY","DE","DE")
country_r <- rep(country, times = 5)
df <- data.frame(date_yq, country_r, var1, var2,var3,var4,var5)
View(df)
df_m <- gather(df, key="variable", value="value", c("var1","var2","var3","var4","var5"))
ggplot(df_m, aes(x=date_yq, y=value, colour=variable)) +
geom_line()+
geom_bar(stat = "identity")+
xlab("Date") +
ylab("Value")
Edit: after some adjustments this is the code to reproduce the data:
ggplot(data = df_m, aes(x = date_yq, y = value,fill=as.factor(variable))) +
geom_bar(data = filter(df_m, variable != "var5"), stat = "identity",
colour="black") + scale_fill_hue(c=45, l=80) +
geom_line(data = filter(df_m, variable == "var5"), aes(col = variable,
group = variable), colour="darkblue",size=1.3)
The problem is that the legend shows var5 as bar and not as a separate line. What could be the issue?
You can subset your data within the geoms, eg
ggplot(df_m) +
geom_col(aes(x=date_yq, y=value, fill=variable), data=~filter(., variable != "var5")) +
geom_line(aes(x=date_yq, y=value), colour="black", data=~filter(., variable == "var5")) +
labs(x="Date", y="Value")
hint: if you precalculate the heights of the bars, you simply use geom_col().
You need to specify the different data sets to map the geom_line
from the geom_bar
. Here is one way of doing that:
ggplot() +
geom_col(data=df_m[df_m$variable != "var5",], aes(x=date_yq, y=value, fill=variable)) +
geom_line(data=df_m[df_m$variable == "var5",], aes(x=date_yq, y=value, color=variable), lwd=1)+
guides(fill = guide_legend(title = "Individuals")) +
scale_color_manual(values = "darkblue", name="Grand Total") +
xlab("Date") +
ylab("Value")
The initial dataset used is all the variables except for "var5", then in geom_line I defined a second dataset where it is just "var5".
Also, by using different aesthetics, "fill" and "color" I was able to separate the legends.
