Create legend for line chart R GGPlot2 - r

Question

Hello I am trying to add a legend to my graph:
Having looked at a few previous answers they all seem to rely on aes() or having the lines be related to a factor in some way. I didn't understand this answer Add legend to geom_line() graph in r.
In my case I simply want a legend that states "RED = No Cross Validation" and "BLUE = Cross Validation"
R Code
ggplot(data=graphDF,aes(x=rev(kAxis)))+
geom_line(y=rev(noCVErr),color="red")+
geom_point(y=rev(noCVErr),color="red")+
geom_line(y=rev(CVErr),color="blue")+
geom_point(y=rev(CVErr),color="blue")+
ylim(minErr,maxErr)+
ggtitle("The KNN Error Rate for Cross Validated and Non-Cross Validated Models")+
labs(y="Error Rate", x = "1/K")

Answer 1

It might help if you put your data into "long" form, such as this for your data frame graphDF (perhaps using pivot_longer from tidyr if necessary):
library(tidyr)
graphDF_long <- pivot_longer(data = graphDF,
cols = c(noCVErr, CVErr),
names_to = "model",
values_to = "errRate")
This creates a new data.frame called graphDF_long that has a single column for the error rate, and a new column that specifies model:
ks kAxis noCVAcc CVAcc model errRate
<int> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <dbl>
1 1 1 1 0.828 noCVErr 0
2 1 1 1 0.828 CVErr 0.172
3 3 0.333 0.935 0.834 noCVErr 0.0655
4 3 0.333 0.935 0.834 CVErr 0.166
5 5 0.2 0.881 0.816 noCVErr 0.119
6 5 0.2 0.881 0.816 CVErr 0.184
....
Then, you can simplify your ggplot statement, and use an aesthetic with the column model for color:
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data = graphDF_long, aes(x = rev(kAxis), y = rev(errRate), color = model)) +
geom_line() +
geom_point() +
scale_color_manual(values = c("blue", "red"),
labels = c("Cross Validation", "No Cross Validation")) +
ylim(min(graphDF_long$errRate), max(graphDF_long$errRate)) +
ggtitle("The KNN Error Rate for Cross Validated and Non-Cross Validated Models") +
labs(y="Error Rate", x = "1/K")
This will generate the legend automatically:
