Add an average line to an existing plot - r

I want to add an average line to the existing plot.
library(ggplot2)
A <- c(1:10)
B <- c(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5)
donnees <- data.frame(A,B)
datetime<-donnees[,2]
Indcatotvalue<-donnees[,1]
df<-donnees
mn<-tapply(donnees[,1],donnees[,2],mean)
moyenne <- data.frame(template=names(mn),mean=mn)
ggplot(data=df,
aes_q(x=datetime,
y=Indcatotvalue)) + geom_line()
I have tried to add :
geom_line(aes(y = moyenne[,2], colour = "blue"))
or :
lines(moyenne[,1],moyenne[,2],col="blue")
but nothing happens, I don't understand especially for the function "lines".

When you say average line I'm assuming you want to plot a line that represents the average value of Y (Indcatotvalue). For that you want to use geom_hline() which plots horizontal lines on your graph:
ggplot(data=df,aes_q(x=datetime,y=Indcatotvalue)) +
geom_line() +
geom_hline(yintercept = mean(Indcatotvalue), color="blue")
Which, with the example numbers you gave, will give you a plot that looks like this:

The function stat_summary is perfect here.
I have found the answer in this page groups.google from Brian Diggs:
p + stat_summary(aes(group=bucket), fun.y=mean, geom="line", colour="green")
You need to set the group to the faceting variable explicitly since
otherwise it will be type and bucket (which looks like type since type
is nested in bucket).

How to make stacked bar chart with count values on y axis>

I'm trying to create a stacked barchart with gene sequencing data, where for each gene there is a tRF.type and Amino.Acid value. An example data set looks like this:
tRF <- c('tRF-26-OB1690PQR3E', 'tRF-27-OB1690PQR3P', 'tRF-30-MIF91SS2P46I')
tRF.type <- c('5-tRF', 'i-tRF', '3-tRF')
Amino.Acid <- c('Ser', 'Lys', 'Ser')
tRF.data <- data.frame(tRF, tRF.type, Amino.Acid)
I would like the x-axis to represent the amino acid type, the y-axis the number of counts of each tRF type and the the fill of the bars to represent each tRF type.
My code is:
ggplot(chart_data, aes(x = Amino.Acid, y = tRF.type, fill = tRF.type)) +
geom_bar(stat="identity") +
ggtitle("LAN5 - 4 days post CNTF treatment") +
xlab("Amino Acid") +
ylab("tRF type")
However, it generates this graph, where the y-axis is labelled with the categories of tRF type. How can I change my code so that the y-axis scale is numerical and represents the counts of each tRF type?
Barchart
OP and Welcome to SO. In future questions, please, be sure to provide a minimal reproducible example - meaning provide code, an image (if possible), and at least a representative dataset that can demonstrate your question or problem clearly.
TL;DR - don't use stat="identity", just use geom_bar() without providing a stat, since default is to use the counts. This should work:
ggplot(chart_data, aes(x = Amino.Acid, fill = tRF.type)) + geom_bar()
The dataset provided doesn't adequately demonstrate your issue, so here's one that can work. The example data herein consists of 100 observations and two columns: one called Capitals for randomly-selected uppercase letters and one Lowercase for randomly-selected lowercase letters.
library(ggplot2)
set.seed(1234)
df <- data.frame(
Capitals=sample(LETTERS, 100, replace=TRUE),
Lowercase=sample(letters, 100, replace=TRUE)
)
If I plot similar to your code, you can see the result:
ggplot(df, aes(x=Capitals, y=Lowercase, fill=Lowercase)) +
geom_bar(stat="identity")
You can see, the bars are stacked, but the y axis is all smooshed down. The reason is related to understanding the difference between geom_bar() and geom_col(). Checking the documentation for these functions, you can see that the main difference is that geom_col() will plot bars with heights equal to the y aesthetic, whereas geom_bar() plots by default according to stat="count". In fact, using geom_bar(stat="identity") is really just a complicated way of saying geom_col().
Since your y aesthetic is not numeric, ggplot still tries to treat the discrete levels numerically. It doesn't really work out well, and it's the reason why your axis gets smooshed down like that. What you want, is geom_bar(stat="count").... which is the same as just using geom_bar() without providing a stat=.
The one problem is that geom_bar() only accepts an x or a y aesthetic. This means you should only give it one of them. This fixes the issue and now you get the proper chart:
ggplot(df, aes(x=Capitals, fill=Lowercase)) + geom_bar()
You want your y-axis to be a count, not tRF.type. This code should give you the correct plot: I've removed the y = tRF.type from ggplot(), and stat = "identity from geom_bar() (it is using the default value of stat = "count instead).
ggplot(tRF.data, aes(x = Amino.Acid, fill = tRF.type)) +
geom_bar() +
ggtitle("LAN5 - 4 days post CNTF treatment") +
xlab("Amino Acid") +
ylab("tRF type")

ordering function seq() in R with the order of input value

My apologize for my bad english i'm a student from france.
I have a little problem with a function in R, indeed i have a dataframe like that :
https://imgur.com/G5ToQrL
With this code :
testtransect2$TOTAL<-testtransect2$TOTAL*-1
plot(testtransect2$DECA,testtransect2$TOTAL,asp = 1)
xl <- seq(min(testtransect2$DECA),max(testtransect2$DECA), (max(testtransect2$DECA)-min(testtransect2$DECA))/1000)
lines(xl, predict(loess(testtransect2$TOTAL~testtransect2$DECA,span = 0.25), newdata=xl))
I want to create a plot with a smooth line which pass through all the point in the order of the dataframe but when i want put my line with my value xl and predict my plot is not like i want :
https://imgur.com/cSlhNtV
I link you a plot where you can see what i want :
https://imgur.com/mnVgvQ7
i think it's a problem of order in my xl value but i can't do it, if you have any solution
Thanks for give it to me
You can use ggplot
Storing your dataframe in df
df <- data.frame(DECA=c(0,10,15,-23,15,40,90,140,190,250,310,370,420),
TOTAL=c(0,-9,-15,-31.5,-48,-50,-44,-24,-17,-10,-6,-5,0))
You are interested in geom_point and geom_line. You can specify df$DECA and df$TOTAL in aes like this:
library(ggplot)
ggplot(df, aes(x=DECA, y=TOTAL)) +
geom_line() + geom_point()
Yielding
The "but when i want put my line with my value xl and predict my plot is not like i want" part is unfortunately unclear to me, please rephrase if this solution does not work for you.
Updated
There are other smooth_lines that may be added, eg. geom_smooth. Is this what you request?
ggplot(df, aes(x=DECA, y=TOTAL)) +
geom_line() + geom_point() +
geom_smooth(se=F, method = lm, col="red") + #linear method
geom_smooth(se=F, col="green") # loess method

Adding text to facetted histogram

Using ggplot2 I have made facetted histograms using the following code.
library(ggplot2)
library(plyr)
df1 <- data.frame(monthNo = rep(month.abb[1:5],20),
classifier = c(rep("a",50),rep("b",50)),
values = c(seq(1,10,length.out=50),seq(11,20,length.out=50))
)
means <- ddply (df1,
c(.(monthNo),.(classifier)),
summarize,
Mean=mean(values)
)
ggplot(df1,
aes(x=values, colour=as.factor(classifier))) +
geom_histogram() +
facet_wrap(~monthNo,ncol=1) +
geom_vline(data=means, aes(xintercept=Mean, colour=as.factor(classifier)),
linetype="dashed", size=1)
The vertical line showing means per month is to stay.
But I want to also add text over these vertical lines displaying the mean values for each month. These means are from the 'means' data frame.
I have looked at geom_text and I can add text to plots. But it appears my circumstance is a little different and not so easy. It's a lot simpler to add text in some cases where you just add values of the plotted data points. But cases like this when you want to add the mean and not the value of the histograms I just can't find the solution.
Please help. Thanks.
Having noted the possible duplicate (another answer of mine), the solution here might not be as (initially/intuitively) obvious. You can do what you need if you split the geom_text call into two (for each classifier):
ggplot(df1, aes(x=values, fill=as.factor(classifier))) +
geom_histogram() +
facet_wrap(~monthNo, ncol=1) +
geom_vline(data=means, aes(xintercept=Mean, colour=as.factor(classifier)),
linetype="dashed", size=1) +
geom_text(y=0.5, aes(x=Mean, label=Mean),
data=means[means$classifier=="a",]) +
geom_text(y=0.5, aes(x=Mean, label=Mean),
data=means[means$classifier=="b",])
I'm assuming you can format the numbers to the appropriate precision and place them on the y-axis where you need to with this code.

facet_wrap: How to add y axis to every individual graph when scales="free_x"?

The following code
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
m=melt(iris[,1:4])
ggplot(m, aes(value)) +
facet_wrap(~variable,ncol=2,scales="free_x") +
geom_histogram()
produces 4 graphs with fixed y axis (which is what I want). However, by default, the y axis is only displayed on the left side of the faceted graph (i.e. on the side of 1st and 3rd graph).
What do I do to make the y axis show itself on all 4 graphs? Thanks!
EDIT: As suggested by #Roland, one could set scales="free" and use ylim(c(0,30)), but I would prefer not to have to set the limits everytime manually.
#Roland also suggested to use hist and ddply outside of ggplot to get the maximum count. Isn't there any ggplot2 based solution?
EDIT: There is a very elegant solution from #babptiste. However, when changing binwidth, it starts to behave oddly (at least for me). Check this example with default binwidth (range/30). The values on the y axis are between 0 and 30,000.
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
m=melt(data=diamonds[,c("x","y","z")])
ggplot(m,aes(x=value)) +
facet_wrap(~variable,ncol=2,scales="free") +
geom_histogram() +
geom_blank(aes(y=max(..count..)), stat="bin")
And now this one.
ggplot(m,aes(x=value)) +
facet_wrap(~variable,scales="free") +
geom_histogram(binwidth=0.5) +
geom_blank(aes(y=max(..count..)), stat="bin")
The binwidth is now set to 0.5 so the highest frequency should change (decrease in fact, as in tighter bins there will be less observations). However, nothing happened with the y axis, it still covers the same amount of values, creating a huge empty space in each graph.
[The problem is solved... see #baptiste's edited answer.]
Is this what you're after?
ggplot(m, aes(value)) +
facet_wrap(~variable,scales="free") +
geom_histogram(binwidth=0.5) +
geom_blank(aes(y=max(..count..)), stat="bin", binwidth=0.5)
ggplot(m, aes(value)) +
facet_wrap(~variable,scales="free") +
ylim(c(0,30)) +
geom_histogram()
Didzis Elferts in https://stackoverflow.com/a/14584567/2416535 suggested using ggplot_build() to get the values of the bins used in geom_histogram (ggplot_build() provides data used by ggplot2 to plot the graph). Once you have your graph stored in an object, you can find the values for all the bins in the column count:
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
m=melt(iris[,1:4])
plot = ggplot(m) +
facet_wrap(~variable,scales="free") +
geom_histogram(aes(x=value))
ggplot_build(plot)$data[[1]]$count
Therefore, I tried to replace the max y limit by this:
max(ggplot_build(plot)$data[[1]]$count)
and managed to get a working example:
m=melt(data=diamonds[,c("x","y","z")])
bin=0.5 # you can use this to try out different bin widths to see the results
plot=
ggplot(m) +
facet_wrap(~variable,scales="free") +
geom_histogram(aes(x=value),binwidth=bin)
ggplot(m) +
facet_wrap(~variable,ncol=2,scales="free") +
geom_histogram(aes(x=value),binwidth=bin) +
ylim(c(0,max(ggplot_build(plot)$data[[1]]$count)))
It does the job, albeit clumsily. It would be nice if someone improved upon that to eliminate the need to create 2 graphs, or rather the same graph twice.

How can I change the colors in a ggplot2 density plot?

Summary: I want to choose the colors for a ggplot2() density distribution plot without losing the automatically generated legend.
Details: I have a dataframe created with the following code (I realize it is not elegant but I am only learning R):
cands<-scan("human.i.cands.degnums")
non<-scan("human.i.non.degnums")
df<-data.frame(grp=factor(c(rep("1. Candidates", each=length(cands)),
rep("2. NonCands",each=length(non)))), val=c(cands,non))
I then plot their density distribution like so:
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df, aes(x=val,color=grp)) + geom_density()
This produces the following output:
I would like to choose the colors the lines appear in and cannot for the life of me figure out how. I have read various other posts on the site but to no avail. The most relevant are:
Changing color of density plots in ggplot2
Overlapped density plots in ggplot2
After searching around for a while I have tried:
## This one gives an error
ggplot(df, aes(x=val,colour=c("red","blue"))) + geom_density()
Error: Aesthetics must either be length one, or the same length as the dataProblems:c("red", "blue")
## This one produces a single, black line
ggplot(df, aes(x=val),colour=c("red","green")) + geom_density()
The best I've come up with is this:
ggplot() + geom_density(aes(x=cands),colour="blue") + geom_density(aes(x=non),colour="red")
As you can see in the image above, that last command correctly changes the colors of the lines but it removes the legend. I like ggplot2's legend system. It is nice and simple, I don't want to have to fiddle about with recreating something that ggplot is clearly capable of doing. On top of which, the syntax is very very ugly. My actual data frame consists of 7 different groups of data. I cannot believe that writing + geom_density(aes(x=FOO),colour="BAR") 7 times is the most elegant way of coding this.
So, if all else fails I will accept with an answer that tells me how to get the legend back on to the 2nd plot. However, if someone can tell me how to do it properly I will be very happy.
set.seed(45)
df <- data.frame(x=c(rnorm(100), rnorm(100, mean=2, sd=2)), grp=rep(1:2, each=100))
ggplot(data = df, aes(x=x, color=factor(grp))) + geom_density() +
scale_color_brewer(palette = "Set1")
ggplot(data = df, aes(x=x, color=factor(grp))) + geom_density() +
scale_color_brewer(palette = "Set3")
gives me same plots with different sets of colors.
Provide vector containing colours for the "values" argument to map discrete values to manually chosen visual ones:
ggplot(df, aes(x=val,color=grp)) +
geom_density() +
scale_color_manual(values=c("red", "blue"))
To choose any colour you wish, enter the hex code for it instead:
ggplot(df, aes(x=val,color=grp)) +
geom_density() +
scale_color_manual(values=c("#f5d142", "#2bd63f")) # yellow/green
