I want to make an xy plot of nested groups (Group and Subgroup) where points are colored by Group and have shape by Subgroup. A minimal example is below:
DATA<-data.frame(
Group=c(rep("group1",10),rep("group2",10),rep("group3",10) ),
Subgroup = c(rep(c("1.1","1.2"),5), rep(c("2.1","2.2"),5), rep(c("3.1","3.2"),5)),
x=c(rnorm(10, mean=5),rnorm(10, mean=10),rnorm(10, mean=15)),
y=c(rnorm(10, mean=3),rnorm(10, mean=4),rnorm(10, mean=5))
)
ggplot(DATA, aes(x=x, y=y,colour=Group, shape=Subgroup) ) +
geom_point(size=3)
One option to achieve your desired result would be via the ggnewscale
package which allows for multiple scales and legends for the same aesthetic.
To this end we have to
GROUP
and plot each GROUP
via a separate geom_point
layer.GROUP
gets a separate shape scale and legend which via achieve via ggnewscale::new_scale
.color
aesthetic we set the color for each group as an argument for which I make use of a named vector of colorspurrr::imap
to loop over the splitted dataset and add the layers dynamically. One more note: In general the order of legends is by default set via a "magic algorithm". To get the groups in the right order we have to explicitly set the order via guide_legend
.
library(ggplot2)
library(ggnewscale)
library(dplyr)
library(purrr)
library(tibble)
DATA_split <- split(DATA, DATA$Group)
# Vector of colors and shapes
colors <- setNames(scales::hue_pal()(length(DATA_split)), names(DATA_split))
shapes <- setNames(scales::shape_pal()(length(unique(DATA$Shape))), unique(DATA$Shape))
ggplot(mapping = aes(x = x, y = y)) +
purrr::imap(DATA_split, function(x, y) {
# Get Labels
labels <- x[c("Shape", "Subgroup")] %>%
distinct(Shape, Subgroup) %>%
deframe()
# Get order
order <- as.numeric(gsub("^.*?(\\d+)$", "\\1", y))
list(
geom_point(data = x, aes(shape = Shape), color = colors[[y]], size = 3),
scale_shape_manual(values = shapes, labels = labels, name = y, guide = guide_legend(order = order)),
new_scale("shape")
)
})
DATA
set.seed(123)
DATA <- data.frame(
Group = c(rep("group1", 10), rep("group2", 10), rep("group3", 10)),
Subgroup = c(rep(c("1.1", "1.2"), 5), rep(c("2.1", "2.2"), 5), rep(c("3.1", "3.2"), 5)),
Shape = as.character(c(rep(c(1, 2), 15))),
x = c(rnorm(10, mean = 5), rnorm(10, mean = 10), rnorm(10, mean = 15)),
y = c(rnorm(10, mean = 3), rnorm(10, mean = 4), rnorm(10, mean = 5))
)
