For this problem I am required to use ggplot2 and ggplot2 only. I have a barplot similar to the one below:
I would like to insert a title on the upper left corner but somehow it keeps ending up in the wrong place.
geom_text(stat='count', aes(label = ..count..), vjust = -1) +
theme(panel.background = element_blank(),
axis.text.y = element_blank(),
axis.title.y = element_text(),
axis.ticks.y = element_blank(),
axis.title.x = element_blank(),
plot.margin = margin(1,1,1,1),
panel.border = element_rect(fill = NA))
Furthermore I run into the problem of reshaping the plot. I would like the height of the plot to be much smaller but have the same width. Whenever I try it myself i can crop the plot but parts of the biggest bar are being cropped of aswell.
Can anyone help me?

I've tried everywhere to find a solution for my problem, without success.
In my company we have a R project, where we use our own colors to print the plots. One of our colleagues is having trouble with it, and we can't figure it out why (since the plot is working fine for all other colleagues and we all -including her- have the same version of R, R Studio and packages).
The problem is when she is printing the plots, the legend is totally weird and printing way more information (from other plots). We tried everything we could think of...
Unfortunetely I can't display the whole code/plots since is confidential information, but I hope this can help:
correct plot should look like this
incorrect plot look like this
The code is more or less, this one:
ggplot(df , aes(x = factor(columnA), y = value ,fill=factor(variable))) +
geom_bar(stat='identity',position="stack")+
labs(x=element_blank(),y="label")+
scale_x_discrete(breaks = df$columnA ,labels=str_wrap(df$columnB, 15) ) +
ggtitle("Confidential tile") +
theme_ourown + #we have our own theme as well
theme(panel.grid.major = element_line(colour = "grey90"),
axis.ticks = element_blank(), axis.title = element_blank(), axis.text.x = element_text(colour = "grey30"),
axis.text.y = element_blank(), legend.title = element_blank(), plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5),
legend.text = element_text(size = rel(1.33)), legend.key.size = unit(1, "cm")) +
scale_fill_manual(values = report_colours) + #here is our colors
coord_polar()
Well, thank you all in advance!
I tried to plot a matrix using geom_tile. However, I noticed there are two strange blocks appear at the top and bottom of my plot. My initial guess was these are ticks element. I've tried to specify the theme parameters as far as I know but no luck.
Basically, I want to remove the two wired blocks that I marked in red arrow. The left plot is something that I desired except the white block. The right plot is I tuned the plot.background in theme to show you there are something I don't know occupies the area.

I also attached the minimal code that could reproduce the left plot:
test2 <- matrix(runif(100*100),nrow = 100)
testdf <- test2 %>% reshape2::melt()
testdf$Var2 <- factor(testdf$Var2,levels=(seq(max(testdf$Var2),1))) # you could ignore this line
testdf %>% ggplot() + geom_tile(aes(x=Var2,y=Var1,fill=log2(value+1))) +
scale_fill_gradientn(colors = c("#ffffff","#f9c979","#ec8121","#b80217","#2f0006")) +
theme(axis.title = element_blank(),
axis.text = element_blank(),
axis.ticks = element_blank(),
legend.title = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill=NA, size=1),
plot.background = element_blank()) + coord_equal()
These blocks are the result of ggplot2's default expansion of the scale. To get rid of these block set the expansion to zero via scale_y_continuous:
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
test2 <- matrix(runif(100*100),nrow = 100)
testdf <- reshape2::melt(test2)
testdf$Var2 <- factor(testdf$Var2,levels=(seq(max(testdf$Var2),1))) # you could ignore this line
ggplot(testdf) +
geom_tile(aes(x=Var2,y=Var1,fill=log2(value+1))) +
scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0,0)) +
scale_fill_gradientn(colors = c("#ffffff","#f9c979","#ec8121","#b80217","#2f0006")) +
theme(axis.title = element_blank(),
axis.text = element_blank(),
axis.ticks = element_blank(),
legend.title = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill=NA, size=1),
plot.background = element_blank()) + coord_equal()
I am struggling with ggplot to produce the legend of this figure. For now, I am only doing for one map, when it works I'l produce the four maps in the same plot.
I would like a legend like this: bottom, title in the center and above the scale, labels and colors, and omit the NA values.
Here is my code:
Reading the shapefile and installing a new variable
map_ev#data$id = rownames(map_ev#data)
map_ev.points = fortify(map_ev, region="id")
map_ev.df = join(map_ev.points, map_ev#data, by="id")
map_ev.df$median_norm = map_ev.df$median / map_ev.df$VOM
Vector with theme opts for ggplot
theme_opts <- list(theme(panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_blank(),
axis.line = element_blank(),
axis.text.x = element_blank(),
axis.text.y = element_blank(),
axis.ticks = element_blank(),
axis.title.x = element_blank(),
axis.title.y = element_blank(),
plot.title = element_text(size=12, hjust=0.5),
legend.position = "bottom",
legend.title=element_blank()))
Installing the variable breaks
map_ev.df$median_norm <- cut(map_ev.df$median_norm, breaks=c(-200, -100, -50, -20, -5, 0, 5, 20, 50, 100, +200))
Checking the breaks
levels(map_ev.df$median_norm)
Colors to be used
color_map <- palette(c("#5b2e07", "#904d07", "#b98436", "#dfc27e", "#f6e8c3",
"#c9e9e4", "#84cdc4", "#3c958f", "#01675a", "#073a31"))
ggplot code
ggplot(map_ev.df) +
aes(long,lat,group=group,fill=median_norm, color=median_norm) +
geom_polygon() + geom_path(color="black") +
labs(title="Equivalent variation") + coord_equal() +
theme_opts
For now I am getting this figure:
Thanks all, I appreciate your help!
I just noticed you wanted manual colours for the fill. You can use:
myscale <- c("(-1,10]"="#BBDF27", "(10,20]"="#43BF71", "(20,30]"="#21908C", "(30,50]"="#35608D", "(50,101]"="#482576", "(101,300]"="#ffeeed")
combined with:
scale_fill_manual(values=myscale,na.value="#e0e0e0",name="",labels=c("<10","10 - 20","20 - 30","30 - 50", ">50","Estimate", "NA"))
where scale_fill manual replaces scale_fill_brewer in the other answer.
Just replace the colour and label values with your own. The values that need to go into myscale are shown when you plot your map without any labels. Good luck!
The reason you don't have a title, is because you never specified one, and if you did, you're deleting it again by writing legend.title=element_blank() in theme. Instead I rewrote it to specify the title should be centered. Using guides(colour = guide_legend(title.position = "top"),fill = guide_legend(title.position = "top",nrow=1,byrow=TRUE)) I set the position to "top" and made sure it will only be one row of legend items. (I left colour= here in case you do need it).
You also seem to want black borders, this means I deleted all colour= since that specifies the colour of the borders.
I've added a scale_fill_brewer, there are more color palettes available. Within this you can specify your legend title and the appearance of your legend labels. These need to be manually adjusted every time you change your input data, by the way.
I don't know how to remove the legend item for NA, sorry.
This is the total code I came up with:
ggplot(map_ev.df) +
aes(long,lat,group=group,fill=median_norm) +
scale_fill_brewer(palette="BrBG",name= "Title of legend",labels=c("-200 - -100","-100 - 50","-5 - 0","0 - 5", "label for NA"))+
geom_polygon() + geom_path(color="black") +
labs(title="Equivalent variation") + coord_equal() +
theme(panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_blank(),
axis.line = element_blank(),
axis.text.x = element_blank(),
axis.text.y = element_blank(),
axis.ticks = element_blank(),
axis.title.x = element_blank(),
axis.title.y = element_blank(),
plot.title = element_text(size=12, hjust=0.5),
legend.position = "bottom",
legend.direction = "horizontal",
legend.title = element_text(hjust=0.5))+
guides(colour = guide_legend(title.position = "top"),fill = guide_legend(title.position = "top",nrow=1,byrow=TRUE))
Using some data of my own for the fill:
map
I am trying to create a full-page figure to publish. The figure looks great on my screen device using Cairo. I've struggled and struggled to get it saved nicely as a file that I can submit. I'm close, as well as I can articulate it, my points and lines just blob together. It's not a resolution issue because as I zoom in, everything looks better and better.
Here is how I make one panel (drawing from two different data frames):
ggplot()+
geom_line(aes(df1$Date, y=df1$sw_10), colour = "black", size=.25) +
geom_point(aes(df2$Date, y=df2$sw_10),fill="white",colour="blue",pch=21, size=1) +
scale_fill_manual(values=c("white"))+
ylim(0.1,0.4)+
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(),
axis.line = element_line(),
legend.position='none', legend.title=element_blank(),
legend.text = element_text(size=12),
axis.title.x = element_blank(),
axis.title.y = element_blank(),
axis.text.x = element_blank(),
axis.text.y = element_text(colour="black", size=12))
Then I put them together with grid and output as an eps:
postscript("figure.eps", width=8.5, height = 11)
print(fig)
dev.off()
And here is the result:
figure
or, as the .eps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zo3rsnv7tuvg1a6/tryit.eps?dl=0
Is there any obvious way to improve this?
I have been working with this for some time and can't find any reasonable explanation for why the names of my x and y axis are the correct color, but not the title.
p <- ggplot(movies, aes(x=budget, y=rating))+
geom_point(shape=1) +
theme(axis.title.x = element_text(colour = "#7F3D17"),
axis.title.y = element_text(colour = "#7F3D17"),
axis.title = element_text(colour = "#7F3D17"),
panel.background = element_rect(fill='#FFD197'),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_blank()) +
labs(x="Budget (in millions)", y="Rating", title="Scatterplot of budget vs movies")
p
The scatterplot looks like this (notice that the title is still black):
If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
You are using axis.title = element_text(colour = "#7F3D17") to get the right color for the title. But you should be using plot.title = element_text(colour = "#7F3D17").
With axis.title you define the setting for both axis, whereas with axis.title.x or axis.title.y you define the setting for the x-axis title or y-axis title specifically.
Because you are using the same color for all the titles, you can also use title = element_text(colour = "#7F3D17") which should set the color of the plot title, axis titles and legend title to the same color.
