Add space between specific facets in ggplot2 (facet_grid) - r

I've been able to add vertical space between all facets (Alter just horizontal spacing between facets (ggplot2)) but haven't been able to add just one space between specified facets?
Here's an example based on my real data (in the real plot I have stacked bars):
mydf<-data.frame(year = rep(c(2016,2016,2016,2016,2016,2016,2017,2017,2017,2017,2017,2017),times = 2),
Area = rep(c('here','there'),times = 12),
yearArea = rep(c('here.2016','here.2017', 'there.2016','there.2017'), times = 12),
treatment = rep(c('control','control','control','treat', 'treat','treat'), times = 4),
response = rep(c('a','b','c','d'), times = 6),
count = rep(c(23,15,30,20), times = 6))
mycolour<-c("#999999", "#0072B2", "#009E73","#000000")
Returns plot:
#default facet spacing
example<-ggplot(data=mydf, aes(x=treatment, y=count, fill=response)) +
geom_bar(stat="identity", width = 0.5) +
scale_fill_manual(values = mycolour, name = "Response") +
labs (y = "Count") +
facet_grid(~yearArea) +
theme_bw()
example
#spacing between each facet
spacedex<-example + theme(panel.spacing.x=unit(2, "lines"))
spacedex
How can I limit the addition of space to only between the second and third facet? (between here.2017 and there.2016)

library(grid)
gt = ggplot_gtable(ggplot_build(example))
gt$widths[7] = 4*gt$widths[7]
grid.draw(gt)

labels on a stacked density plot

I'm generating a stacked density plot:
ggplot(data=tydy_rawdata, aes(x=timepoint, y=tpm, group=fct_inorder(names),
fill=fct_inorder(names))) +
geom_density(position="fill",
stat="identity") +
scale_fill_manual(values = rev(mycolors))
plot :
I would like to add label on each curve (or at least the top 3 or 4) basing on the "names" displayed on the right.
I'm trying adding geom_text but the result is this :
gplot(data=tydy_rawdata, aes(x=timepoint, y=tpm, group=fct_inorder(names),
fill=fct_inorder(names))) +
geom_density(position="fill",
stat="identity") +
geom_text(aes(label=names)) +
scale_fill_manual(values = rev(mycolors))
plot :
Are there some way to do it?
First, your chart is a stacked area chart, i.e. geom_density with stat="identity" is equal to geom_area. Second, when adding labels via geom_text you have to take account of the position argument. As you use position="fill" for your density/area chart you also have to do the same for geom_text.
As you provided no example data I created my own to make your issue reproducible:
library(ggplot2)
library(forcats)
set.seed(123)
tydy_rawdata <- data.frame(
names = rep(LETTERS[1:10], each = 6),
timepoint = factor(seq(6)),
tpm = runif(6 * 10, 0, 80)
)
ggplot(data = tydy_rawdata, aes(
x = timepoint, y = tpm,
group = fct_inorder(names), fill = fct_inorder(names)
)) +
geom_area(
position = "fill",
color = "black"
) +
geom_text(aes(label = names), position = "fill")

Use free_y scale on first axis and fixed on second + facet_grid + ggplot2

Is there any method to set scale = 'free_y' on the left hand (first) axis in ggplot2 and use a fixed axis on the right hand (second) axis?
I have a dataset where I need to use free scales for one variable and fixed for another but represent both on the same plot. To do so I'm trying to add a second, fixed, y-axis to my data. The problem is I cannot find any method to set a fixed scale for the 2nd axis and have that reflected in the facet grid.
This is the code I have so far to create the graph -
#plot weekly seizure date
p <- ggplot(dfspw_all, aes(x=WkYr, y=Seizures, group = 1)) + geom_line() +
xlab("Week Under Observation") + ggtitle("Average Seizures per Week - To Date") +
geom_line(data = dfsl_all, aes(x =WkYr, y = Sleep), color = 'green') +
scale_y_continuous(
# Features of the first axis
name = "Seizures",
# Add a second axis and specify its features
sec.axis = sec_axis(~.[0:20], name="Sleep")
)
p + facet_grid(vars(Name), scales = "free_y") +
theme(axis.ticks.x=element_blank(),axis.text.x = element_blank())
This is what it is producing (some details omitted from code for simplicity) -
What I need is for the scale on the left to remain "free" and the scale on the right to range from 0-24.
Secondary axes are implemented in ggplot2 as a decoration that is a transformation of the primary axis, so I don't know an elegant way to do this, since it would require the secondary axis formula to be aware of different scaling factors for each facet.
Here's a hacky approach where I scale each secondary series to its respective primary series, and then add some manual annotations for the secondary series. Another way might be to make the plots separately for each facet like here and use patchwork to combine them.
Given some fake data where the facets have different ranges for the primary series but the same range for the secondary series:
library(tidyverse)
fake <- tibble(facet = rep(1:3, each = 10),
x = rep(1:10, times = 3),
y_prim = (1+sin(x))*facet/2,
y_sec = (1 + sin(x*3))/2)
ggplot(fake, aes(x, y_prim)) +
geom_line() +
geom_line(aes(y= y_sec), color = "green") +
facet_wrap(~facet, ncol = 1)
...we could scale each secondary series to its primary series, and add custom annotations for that secondary series:
fake2 <- fake %>%
group_by(facet) %>%
mutate(y_sec_scaled = y_sec/max(y_sec) * (max(y_prim))) %>%
ungroup()
fake2_labels <- fake %>%
group_by(facet) %>%
summarize(max_prim = max(y_prim), baseline = 0, x_val = 10.5)
ggplot(fake2, aes(x, y_prim)) +
geom_line() +
geom_line(aes(y= y_sec_scaled), color = "green") +
facet_wrap(~facet, ncol = 1, scales = "free_y") +
geom_text(data = fake2_labels, aes(x = x_val, y = max_prim, label = "100%"),
hjust = 0, color = "green") +
geom_text(data = fake2_labels, aes(x = x_val, y = baseline, label = "0%"),
hjust = 0, color = "green") +
coord_cartesian(xlim = c(0, 10), clip = "off") +
theme(plot.margin = unit(c(1,3,1,1), "lines"))

Setting limits to a discrete data based x-axis

I am struggling to make a graph, using ggplot2.
below, you can see the output I get and the relative code:
library(ggplot2)
## Defining Dataframe
Dati <- data.frame(Correction = c("0%", "+5%", "+10%", "+15%"),
Vix = c(65700, 48000, 45500, 37800))
## Create factors
Dati$Correction <- as.factor(Dati$Correction)
Dati$Correction <- factor(Dati$Correction, levels = c("0%", "+5%", "+10%", "+15%"))
## Defining graph
Graph <- ggplot(data=Dati, aes(x=Correction, y=Vix)) + geom_point(color = "#e60000", shape = 1, size = 3.5) +
geom_smooth(aes(as.numeric(Correction), Vix), level=0.75, span = 1, color = "#e60000", method=lm) +
xlab("xlab") + ylab("y lab") + labs(color='') +
guides(color = FALSE, size = FALSE)
Graph
What I would like is to set the limits, perhaps with scale_x_discrete() but I am not succeeding with it, so as to remove the external space before and after the line:
Is it possible to do somehow? I would like to do this also in case in x-axis would be presents textual values.
thank you in advance for every eventual help.
You should set an expand in the scale_x_discrete function. This will change the limits of your discrete x-axis. You can change this to what you want. You can use this code:
## Defining graph
Graph <- ggplot(data=Dati, aes(x=Correction, y=Vix)) + geom_point(color = "#e60000", shape = 1, size = 3.5) +
geom_smooth(aes(as.numeric(Correction), Vix), level=0.75, span = 1, color = "#e60000", method=lm) +
xlab("xlab") + ylab("y lab") + labs(color='') +
guides(color = FALSE, size = FALSE) +
scale_x_discrete(expand=c(0.05, 0))
Graph
Output:
The x axis is a continuous variable, so you need to use scale_x_continuous(). To remove the padding on the scale, set scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0, 0))

Gaps in geom_line output of ggplot

I am plotting a set of data using geom_line in ggplot but there are gaps in portions of the curve. When I plot the data in Excel these gaps do not appear. I thought that maybe I had duplicate x-values in my data but I do not. Any suggestions? All I am doing is taking my larger data frame and selecting for one condition.
data %>%
filter(condition == c("one")) %>%
ggplot(aes(time,value)) +
geom_line(aes(color = "red") , size = 1) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(0,150),
breaks = seq(0,150, by = 20),
expand = c(0,0)) +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0,10),
breaks = seq(0, 10, by = 1),
expand = c(0,0))

How can I plot 2 related variables on the same axis using ggplot? [duplicate]

Edit: This question has been marked as duplicated, but the responses here have been tried and did not work because the case in question is a line chart, not a bar chart. Applying those methods produces a chart with 5 lines, 1 for each year - not useful. Did anyone who voted to mark as duplicate actually try those approaches on the sample dataset supplied with this question? If so please post as an answer.
Original Question:
There's a feature in Excel pivot charts which allows multilevel categorical axes.I'm trying to find a way to do the same thing with ggplot (or any other plotting package in R).
Consider the following dataset:
set.seed(1)
df=data.frame(year=rep(2009:2013,each=4),
quarter=rep(c("Q1","Q2","Q3","Q4"),5),
sales=40:59+rnorm(20,sd=5))
If this is imported to an Excel pivot table, it is straightforward to create the following chart:
Note how the x-axis has two levels, one for quarter and one for the grouping variable, year. Are multilevel axes possible with ggplot?
NB: There is a hack with facets that produces something similar, but this is not what I'm looking for.
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df) +
geom_line(aes(x=quarter,y=sales,group=year))+
facet_grid(.~year,scales="free")
New labels are added using annotate(geom = "text",. Turn off clipping of x axis labels with clip = "off" in coord_cartesian.
Use theme to add extra margins (plot.margin) and remove (element_blank()) x axis text (axis.title.x, axis.text.x) and vertical grid lines (panel.grid.x).
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data = df, aes(x = interaction(year, quarter, lex.order = TRUE),
y = sales, group = 1)) +
geom_line(colour = "blue") +
annotate(geom = "text", x = seq_len(nrow(df)), y = 34, label = df$quarter, size = 4) +
annotate(geom = "text", x = 2.5 + 4 * (0:4), y = 32, label = unique(df$year), size = 6) +
coord_cartesian(ylim = c(35, 65), expand = FALSE, clip = "off") +
theme_bw() +
theme(plot.margin = unit(c(1, 1, 4, 1), "lines"),
axis.title.x = element_blank(),
axis.text.x = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major.x = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor.x = element_blank())
See also the nice answer by #eipi10 here: Axis labels on two lines with nested x variables (year below months)
The suggested code by Henrik does work and helped me a lot! I think the solution has a high value. But please be aware, that there is a small misstake in the first line of the code, which results in a wrong order of the data.
Instead of
... aes(x = interaction(year,quarter), ...
it should be
... aes(x = interaction(quarter,year), ...
The resulting graphic has the data in the right order.
P.S. I suggested an edit (which was rejected until now) and, due to a small lack of reputation, I am not allowed to comment, what I rather would have done.
User Tung had a great answer on this thread

# create year column for facet
df <- df %>%
mutate(year = as.factor(year(date)))
p <- ggplot(df, aes(date, value)) +
geom_line() +
geom_vline(xintercept = as.numeric(df$date[yday(df$date) == 1]), color = "grey60") +
