Problem with colouring a GG Plot Histogram - r

Question

I`ve got an issue with colouring a ggplot2 histogram.
R-Junk
ggplot(Hospital, aes(x=BodyTemperature)) +
geom_histogram(aes(fill = factor(BodyTemperature))) +
scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 100, by = 10)) +
ylab("prevalence") +
xlab("BodyTemperature") +
ggtitle("Temperature vs. prevalence")
So the histogram should plot the information (x-axis), that as higher the temperature gets, the worse it is. So for example „temperature“ at 36°C should be green, 38°C yellow, 40° red - going from left to right on the x-axis.
Y-Axis should provide how often these temperatures ocures in the Patientdata of the Hospital. The Data "BodyTemperature" is a list of 200+ Data like: "35.3" or "37.4" etc.
How can this chunk be fixed to provide the color changes? For a non-ggplot version ive already written this r-junk positiv:
```{r, fig.width=8}
color1 <- rep(brewer.pal(1, "Greens"))
color2 <- rep("#57c4fa", 0)
color3 <- brewer.pal(8, "Reds")
hist(Hospital$BodyTemperature[-357],
breaks = seq(from = 0, to = 100, by = 10),
main = "Temperature vs. prevalence",
ylab = "prevalence",
xlab = "Temperature",
col = c(color1, color2, color3))
```

Answer 1

The key is to make sure the bin intervals used for the fill scale match those used for the x axis. You can do this by setting the binwidth argument to geom_histogram(), and using ggplot2::cut_width() to break BodyTemperature into the same bins for the fill scale:
set.seed(13)
library(ggplot2)
# example data
Hospital <- data.frame(BodyTemperature = 36.5 + rchisq(100, 2))
ggplot(Hospital, aes(BodyTemperature)) +
geom_histogram(
aes(fill = cut_width(BodyTemperature, width = 1)),
binwidth = 1,
show.legend = FALSE
) +
scale_fill_brewer(palette = "RdYlGn", direction = -1) +
labs(
title = "Temperature vs. Prevalence",
x = "Body Temperature (°C)",
y = "Prevalence"
) +
theme_minimal()
