Changing X axis on ggplot logarithm - r

I am trying to display a graph showing the log10 transformed values of some data. When creating a violin graph with the below code:
tt <- EditedDF1 %>%
ggplot(aes(x=ct_marshallFAC, y=log10(uchl1_d1_pgml), fill = EditedDF1$ct_marshallFAC)) +
geom_violin() +
geom_boxplot(width=0.1, outlier.shape = NA, fill="white") +
theme_classic() +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size= 20)) +
labs(x="", y= "Log UCHL1(pg/ml)") +
ylim(-3.5, 6) +
theme(legend.position="none")+
scale_x_discrete(labels=c("I", "II", "III-IV", "V-VI")) +
geom_hline(yintercept = 1.568, colour = "red", linetype="dotted" )
My problem is the y axis gives a value of -3, -2, -1, 0 when what I want it to show is the actual value the log10 would equate to. For instance -1 would be 0.1, 0 would be 1, 1 would be 10 and so on.
I have chosen to display the log-transformed data as I have multiple panels of data. However I feel the reader would be better able to understand if I gave the actual values on the y axis.
Many thanks.

Take out your ylim(-3.5, 6) and use ggplot's scale_y_log10 instead with limits there:
library(ggplot2)
EditedDF1 <- data.frame(ct_marshallFAC = rep(c("I", "II", "III-IV", "V-VI"),10), uchl1_d1_pgml =runif(40)*100)
tt <- EditedDF1 %>%
ggplot(aes(x=ct_marshallFAC, y=log10(uchl1_d1_pgml),
fill = EditedDF1$ct_marshallFAC)) +
geom_violin() +
geom_boxplot(width=0.1, outlier.shape = NA, fill="white") +
theme_classic() +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size= 20)) +
labs(x="", y= "UCHL1(pg/ml)") +
theme(legend.position="none")+
scale_x_discrete(labels=c("I", "II", "III-IV", "V-VI")) +
geom_hline(yintercept = 1.568, colour = "red", linetype="dotted" ) +
scale_y_log10(limits = c(exp(-3.5), exp(6)))
Edit: I've never had someone tell me that a logarithmic scale is confusing...I'd just use what you had to begin with and keep the label to reflect that the values are logarithmic.

Bunched up x axis ticks on multi panelled plot in ggplot

I am attempting to make a multi-panelled plot from three individual plots (see images).However, I am unable to rectify the bunched x-axis tick labels when the plots are in the multi-panel format. Following is the script for the individual plots and the multi-panel:
Individual Plot:
NewDat [[60]]
EstRes <- NewDat [[60]]
EstResPlt = ggplot(EstRes,aes(Distance3, `newBa`))+geom_line() + scale_x_continuous(n.breaks = 10, limits = c(0, 3500))+ scale_y_continuous(n.breaks = 10, limits = c(0,25))+ xlab("Distance from Core (μm)") + ylab("Ba:Ca concentration(μmol:mol)") + geom_hline(yintercept=2.25, linetype="dashed", color = "red")+ geom_vline(xintercept = 1193.9, linetype="dashed", color = "grey")+ geom_vline(xintercept = 1965.5, linetype="dashed", color = "grey") + geom_vline(xintercept = 2616.9, linetype="dashed", color = "grey") + geom_vline(xintercept = 3202.8, linetype="dashed", color = "grey")+ geom_vline(xintercept = 3698.9, linetype="dashed", color = "grey")
EstResPlt
Multi-panel plot:
MultiP <- grid.arrange(MigrPlt,OcResPlt,EstResPlt, nrow =1)
I have attempted to include:
MultiP <- grid.arrange(MigrPlt,OcResPlt,EstResPlt, nrow =1)+
theme(axis.text.x = element_text (angle = 45)) )
MultiP
but have only received errors. It's not necessary for all tick marks to be included. An initial, mid and end value is sufficient and therefore they would not need to all be included or angled. I'm just not sure how to do this. Assistance would be much appreciated.
There are several options to resolve the crowded axes. Let's consider the following example which parallels your case. The default labelling strategy wouldn't overcrowd the x-axis.
library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)
library(scales)
df <- data.frame(
x = seq(0, 3200, by = 20),
y = cumsum(rnorm(161))
)
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
geom_line()
(p + p + p) / p &
scale_x_continuous(
name = "Distance (um)"
)
However, because you've given n.breaks = 10 to the scale, it becomes crowded. So a simple solution would just be to remove that.
(p + p + p) / p &
scale_x_continuous(
n.breaks = 10,
name = "Distance (um)"
)
Alternatively, you could convert the micrometers to millimeters, which makes the labels less wide.
(p + p + p) / p &
scale_x_continuous(
n.breaks = 10,
labels = label_number(scale = 1e-3, accuracy = 0.1),
name = "Distance (mm)"
)
Yet another alternative is to put breaks only every n units, in the case below, a 1000. This happens to coincide with omitting n.breaks = 10 by chance.
(p + p + p) / p &
scale_x_continuous(
breaks = breaks_width(1000),
name = "Distance (um)"
)
Created on 2021-11-02 by the reprex package (v2.0.1)
I thought it would be better to show with an example.
What I mean was, you made MigrPlt, OcResPlt, EstResPlt each with ggplot() +...... For plot that you want to rotate x axis, add + theme(axis.text.x = element_text (angle = 45)).
For example, in iris data, only rotate x axis text for a like
a <- ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length)) +
geom_point() +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text (angle = 45))
b <- ggplot(iris, aes(Petal.Width, Petal.Length)) +
geom_point()
gridExtra::grid.arrange(a,b, nrow = 1)

How to colour background on a scatterplot using ggplot but still show data points in R?

This is my first question here so hope this makes sense and thank you for your time in advance!
I am trying to generate a scatterplot with the data points being the log2 expression values of genes from 2 treatments from an RNA-Seq data set. With this code I have generated the plot below:
ggplot(control, aes(x=log2_iFGFR1_uninduced, y=log2_iFGFR4_uninduced)) +
geom_point(shape = 21, color = "black", fill = "gray70") +
ggtitle("Uninduced iFGFR1 vs Uninduced iFGFR4 ") +
xlab("Uninduced iFGFR1") +
ylab("Uninduced iFGFR4") +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(-15,15,by = 1)) +
scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(-15,15,by = 1)) +
geom_abline(intercept = 1, slope = 1, color="blue", size = 1) +
geom_abline(intercept = 0, slope = 1, colour = "black", size = 1) +
geom_abline(intercept = -1, slope = 1, colour = "red", size = 1) +
theme_classic() +
theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust=0.5))
Current scatterplot:
However, I would like to change the background of the plot below the red line to a lighter red and above the blue line to a lighter blue, but still being able to see the data points in these regions. I have tried so far by using polygons in the code below.
pol1 <- data.frame(x = c(-14, 15, 15), y = c(-15, -15, 14))
pol2 <- data.frame(x = c(-15, -15, 14), y = c(-14, 15, 15))
ggplot(control, aes(x=log2_iFGFR1_uninduced, y=log2_iFGFR4_uninduced)) +
geom_point(shape = 21, color = "black", fill = "gray70") +
ggtitle("Uninduced iFGFR1 vs Uninduced iFGFR4 ") +
xlab("Uninduced iFGFR1") +
ylab("Uninduced iFGFR4") +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(-15,15,by = 1)) +
scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(-15,15,by = 1)) +
geom_polygon(data = pol1, aes(x = x, y = y), color ="pink1") +
geom_polygon(data = pol2, aes(x = x, y = y), color ="powderblue") +
geom_abline(intercept = 1, slope = 1, color="blue", size = 1) +
geom_abline(intercept = 0, slope = 1, colour = "black", size = 1) +
geom_abline(intercept = -1, slope = 1, colour = "red", size = 1) +
theme_classic() +
theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust=0.5))
New scatterplot:
However, these polygons hide my data points in this area and I don't know how to keep the polygon color but see the data points as well. I have also tried adding "fill = NA" to the geom_polygon code but this makes the area white and only keeps a colored border. Also, these polygons shift my axis limits so how do I change the axes to begin at -15 and end at 15 rather than having that extra unwanted length?
Any help would be massively appreciated as I have struggled with this for a while now and asked friends and colleagues who were unable to help.
Thanks,
Liv
Your question has two parts, so I'll answer each in turn using a dummy dataset:
df <- data.frame(x=rnorm(20,5,1), y=rnorm(20,5,1))
Stop geom_polygon from hiding geom_point
Stefan had commented with the answer to this one. Here's an illustration. Order of operations matters in ggplot. The plot you create is a result of each geom (drawing operation) performed in sequence. In your case, you have geom_polygon after geom_point, so it means that it will plot on top of geom_point. To have the points plotted on top of the polygons, just have geom_point happen after geom_polygon. Here's an illustrative example:
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x,y)) + theme_bw()
p + geom_point() + xlim(0,10) + ylim(0,10)
Now if we add a geom_rect after, it hides the points:
p + geom_point() +
geom_rect(ymin=0, ymax=5, xmin=0, xmax=5, fill='lightblue') +
xlim(0,10) + ylim(0,10)
The way to prevent that is to just reverse the order of geom_point and geom_rect. It works this way for all geoms.
p + geom_rect(ymin=0, ymax=5, xmin=0, xmax=5, fill='lightblue') +
geom_point() +
xlim(0,10) + ylim(0,10)
Removing whitespace between the axis and limits of the axis
The second part of your question asks about how to remove the white space between the edges of your geom_polygon and the axes. Notice how I have been using xlim and ylim to set limits? It is a shortcut for scale_x_continuous(limits=...) and scale_y_continuous(limits=...); however, we can use the argument expand= within scale_... functions to set how far to "expand" the plot before reaching the axis. You can set the expand setting for upper and lower axis limits independently, which is why this argument expects a two-component number vector, similar to the limits= argument.
Here's how to remove that whitespace:
p + geom_rect(ymin=0, ymax=5, xmin=0, xmax=5, fill='lightblue') +
geom_point() +
scale_x_continuous(limits=c(0,10), expand=c(0,0)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,10), expand=c(0,0))

How do I represent percent of a variable in a filled barplot?

I have a data frame(t1) and I want to illustrate the shares of companies in relation to their size
I added a Dummy variable in order to make a filled barplot and not 3:
t1$row <- 1
The size of companies are separated in medium, small and micro:
f_size <- factor(t1$size,
ordered = TRUE,
levels = c("medium", "small", "micro"))
The plot is build up with the economic_theme:
ggplot(t1, aes(x = "Size", y = prop.table(row), fill = f_size)) +
geom_col() +
geom_text(aes(label = as.numeric(f_size)),
position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5)) +
theme_economist(base_size = 14) +
scale_fill_economist() +
theme(legend.position = "right",
legend.title = element_blank()) +
theme(axis.title.y = element_text(margin = margin(r = 20))) +
ylab("Percentage") +
xlab(NULL)
How can I modify my code to get the share for medium, small and micro in the middle of the three filled parts in the barplot?
Thanks in advance!
Your question isn't quite clear to me and I suggest you re-phrase it for clarity. But I believe you're trying to get the annotations to be accurately aligned on the Y-axis. For this use, pre-calculate the labels and then use annotate
library(data.table)
library(ggplot2)
set.seed(3432)
df <- data.table(
cat= sample(LETTERS[1:3], 1000, replace = TRUE)
, x= rpois(1000, lambda = 5)
)
tmp <- df[, .(pct= sum(x) / sum(df[,x])), cat][, cumsum := cumsum(pct)]
ggplot(tmp, aes(x= 'size', y= pct, fill= cat)) + geom_bar(stat='identity') +
annotate('text', y= tmp[,cumsum] - 0.15, x= 1, label= as.character(tmp[,pct]))
But this is a poor decision graphically. Stacked bar charts, by definition sum to 100%. Rather than labeling the components with text, just let the graphic do this for you via the axis labels:
ggplot(tmp, aes(x= cat, y= pct, fill= cat)) + geom_bar(stat='identity') + coord_flip() +
scale_y_continuous(breaks= seq(0,1,.05))

ground geom_text to x axis (e.g. y =0)

I have a graph made in ggplot that looks like this:
I wish to have the numeric labels at each of the bars to be grounded/glued to the x axis where y <= 0.
This is the code to generate the graph as such:
ggplot(data=df) +
geom_bar(aes(x=row, y=numofpics, fill = crop, group = 1), stat='identity') +
geom_point(data=df, aes(x = df$row, y=df$numofparcels*50, group = 2), alpha = 0.25) +
geom_line(data=df, aes(x = df$row, y=df$numofparcels*50, group = 2), alpha = 0.25) +
geom_text(aes(x=row, y=numofpics, label=bbch)) +
geom_hline(yintercept=300, linetype="dashed", color = "red", size=1) +
scale_y_continuous(sec.axis= sec_axis(~./50, name="Number of Parcels")) +
scale_x_discrete(name = c(),breaks = unique(df$crop), labels = as.character(unique(df$crop)))+
labs(x=c(), y="Number of Pictures")
I've tried vjust and experimenting with position_nudge for the geom_text element, but every solution I can find changes the position of each element of the geom_text respective to its current position. As such everything I try results in situation like this one:
How can I make ggplot ground the text to the bottom of the x axis where y <= 0, possibly with the possibility to also introduce a angle = 45?
Link to dataframe = https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b-5AfBECap3TZjlpLhl1m3v74Lept2em/view?usp=sharing
As I said in the comments, just set the y-coordinate of the text to 0 or below, and specify the angle : geom_text(aes(x=row, y=-100, label=bbch), angle=45)
I'm behind a proxy server that blocks connections to google drive so I can't access your data. I'm not able to test this, but I would introduce a new label field in my dataset that sets y to be 0 if y<0:
df <- df %>%
mutate(labelField = if_else(numofpics<0, 0, numofpics)
I would then use this label field in my geom_text call:
geom_text(aes(x=row, y=labelField, label=bbch), angle = 45)
Hope that helps.
You can simply define the y-value in geom_text (e.g. -50)
ggplot(data=df) +
geom_bar(aes(x=row, y=numofpics, fill = crop, group = 1), stat='identity') +
geom_point(data=df, aes(x = df$row, y=df$numofparcels*50, group = 2), alpha = 0.25) +
geom_line(data=df, aes(x = df$row, y=df$numofparcels*50, group = 2), alpha = 0.25) +
geom_text(aes(x=row, y=-50, label=bbch)) +
geom_hline(yintercept=300, linetype="dashed", color = "red", size=1) +
scale_y_continuous(sec.axis= sec_axis(~./50, name="Number of Parcels")) +
scale_x_discrete(name = c(),breaks = unique(df$crop), labels =
as.character(unique(df$crop)))+
labs(x=c(), y="Number of Pictures")

Grouped scatterplot over grouped boxplot in R using ggplot2

I am creating a grouped boxplot with a scatterplot overlay using ggplot2. I would like to group each scatterplot datapoint with the grouped boxplot that it corresponds to.
However, I'd also like the scatterplot points to be different symbols. I seem to be able to get my scatterplot points to group with my grouped boxplots OR get my scatterplot points to be different symbols... but not both simultaneously. Below is some example code to illustrate what's happening:
library(scales)
library(ggplot2)
# Generates Data frame to plot

Clone <- c(rep(c("D1","D2","D3","D4","D5","D6"),20))
variable <- c(rep(c(rep("Day10",6),rep("Day20",6),rep("Day30",6),rep("Day40",6)),5))
value <- c(rnorm(24, mean = 0.5, sd = 0.5),rnorm(24, mean = 10, sd = 8),rnorm(24, mean = 1000, sd = 900),
rnorm(24, mean = 25000, sd = 9000), rnorm(24, mean = 8000, sd = 3000))
value <- sqrt(value*value)
Tdata <- cbind(Gene, Clone, variable)
Tdata <- data.frame(Tdata)
Tdata <- cbind(Tdata,value)

If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you

To get the boxplots to appear, the shape aesthetic needs to be inside geom_point, rather than in the main call to ggplot. The reason for this is that when the shape aesthetic is in the main ggplot call, it applies to all the geoms, including geom_boxplot. However, applying a shape=Clone aesthetic causes geom_boxplot to create a separate boxplot for each level of Clone. Since there's only one row of data for each combination of variable and Clone, no boxplot is produced.
That the shape aesthetic affects geom_boxplot seems counterintuitive to me, but maybe there's a reason for it that I'm not aware of. In any case, moving the shape aesthetic into geom_point solves the problem by applying the shape aesthetic only to geom_point.
Then, to get the points to appear with the correct boxplot, we need to group by Gene. I also added theme_classic to make it easier to see the plot (although it's still very busy):
ggplot(Tdata, aes(x=variable, y=value, fill=Gene)) +
stat_boxplot(geom ='errorbar', width=0.25, size=0.7, coef=4, position=position_dodge(0.85)) +
geom_boxplot(coef=1, outlier.shape=NA, lwd=0.3, alpha=1, colour=ln_clr, position=position_dodge(0.85)) +
geom_point(position=position_jitterdodge(dodge.width=0.85), size=1.8, alpha=0.7,
aes(shape=Clone, group=Gene)) +
scale_fill_manual(values=blue_cols) + labs(y="Fold Change") +
expand_limits(y=c(0.01,10^5)) +
scale_y_log10(expand=c(0, 0), breaks=10^(-2:5),
labels=trans_format("log10", math_format(10^.x))) +
theme_classic()
I think the plot would be easier to understand if you use faceting for Gene and the x-axis for variable. Putting time on the x-axis seems more intuitive, while using facetting frees up the color aesthetic for the points. With six different clones, it's still difficult (for me at least) to differentiate the point markers, but this looks cleaner to me than the previous version.
library(dplyr)
ggplot(Tdata %>% mutate(Gene=gsub("Gene","Gene ", Gene)),
aes(x=gsub("Day","",variable), y=value)) +
stat_boxplot(geom='errorbar', width=0.25, size=0.7, coef=4) +
geom_boxplot(coef=1, outlier.shape=NA, lwd=0.3, alpha=1, colour=ln_clr, width=0.5) +
geom_point(aes(fill=Clone), position=position_jitter(0.2), size=1.5, alpha=0.7, shape=21) +
theme_classic() +
facet_grid(. ~ Gene) +
labs(y = "Fold Change", x="Day") +
expand_limits(y=c(0.01,10^5)) +
scale_y_log10(expand=c(0, 0), breaks=10^(-2:5),
labels=trans_format("log10", math_format(10^.x)))
If you really need to keep the points, maybe it would be better to separate the boxplots and points with some manual dodging:
set.seed(10)
ggplot(Tdata %>% mutate(Day=as.numeric(substr(variable,4,5)),
Gene = gsub("Gene","Gene ", Gene)),
aes(x=Day - 2, y=value, group=Day)) +
stat_boxplot(geom ='errorbar', width=0.5, size=0.5, coef=4) +
geom_boxplot(coef=1, outlier.shape=NA, lwd=0.3, alpha=1, width=4) +
geom_point(aes(x=Day + 2, fill=Clone), size=1.5, alpha=0.7, shape=21,
position=position_jitter(width=1, height=0)) +
theme_classic() +
facet_grid(. ~ Gene) +
labs(y="Fold Change", x="Day") +
expand_limits(y=c(0.01,10^5)) +
scale_y_log10(expand=c(0, 0), breaks=10^(-2:5),
labels=trans_format("log10", math_format(10^.x)))
One more thing: For future reference, you can simplify your data creation code:
Gene = rep(paste0("Gene",LETTERS[1:5]), each=24)
Clone = rep(paste0("D",1:6), 20)
variable = rep(rep(paste0("Day", seq(10,40,10)), each=6), 5)
value = rnorm(24*5, mean=rep(c(0.5,10,1000,25000,8000), each=24),
sd=rep(c(0.5,8,900,9000,3000), each=24))
Tdata = data.frame(Gene, Clone, variable, value)
