tiny pie charts to represent each point in an scatterplot using ggplot2 - r

I want to create a scatter plot, in which each point is a tiny pie chart. For instance consider following data:
foo <- data.frame(X=runif(30), Y=runif(30),A=runif(30),B=runif(30),C=runif(30))
The following code will make a scatter plot, representing X and Y values of each point:
library(reshape2)
library(ggplot2)
foo.m <- melt(foo, id.vars=c("X","Y"))
ggplot(foo.m, aes(X,Y))+geom_point()
And the following code will make a pie chart for each point:
p <- ggplot(foo.m, aes(variable,value,fill=variable)) + geom_bar(stat="identity")
p + coord_polar() + facet_wrap(~X+Y,,ncol=6) + theme_bw()
But I am looking to merge them: creating a scatter plot in which each point is replaced by the pie chart. This way I will be able to show all 5 values (X, Y, A, B, C) of each record in the same chart.
Is there anyway to do it?

This is the sort of thing you can do with package ggsubplot. Unfortunately, according to issue #10 here, this package is not working with R 3.1.1. I ran it successfully if I used an older version of R (3.0.3).
Using your long dataset, you could put bar plots at each X, Y point like this:
library(ggplot2)
library(ggsubplot)
ggplot(foo.m) +
geom_subplot2d(aes(x = X, y = Y,
subplot = geom_bar(aes(variable, value, fill = variable), stat = "identity")),
width = rel(.5), ref = NULL)
This gives the basic idea, although there are many other options (like controlling where the subplots move to when there is overlap in plot space).
This answer has more information on the status of ggsubplot with newer R versions.

there is a package, scatterpie, that does exactly what you want to do!
library(ggplot2)
library(scatterpie)
ggplot() +
geom_scatterpie(aes(x=X, y=Y, r=0.1), data=foo.m, cols=c("A", "B", "C"))
In the aesthetics, r is the radius of the pie, you can adjust as necessary. It is dependent on the scale of the graph - since your graph goes from 0.0 to 1.0, a radius of 1 would take up the entire graph (if centered at 0.5, 0.5).
Do note that while you will get a legend for the pie slice colors, it will not (to my knowledge) label the slices themselves on the pies.

How do I add intensity legend of colors after I plot using grid.raster()?

I am doing kmeans clustering on a png image and have been plotting it using grid::grid.raster(image). But I would like to put a legend which shows the intensity in a bar(from blue to red) marked with values, essentially indicating the intensity on the image. (image is an array where the third dimension equals 3 giving the red, green and blue channels.)
I thought of using grid.legend() but couldn't figure it out. I am hoping the community can help me out. Following is the image I have been using and after I perform kmeans clustering want a legend beside it that displays intensity on a continuous scale on a color bar.
Also I tried with ggplot2 and could plot the image but still couldn't plot the legend. I am providing the ggplot code for plotting the image. I can extract the RGB channels separately using ggplot2 also, so showing that also helps.
colassign <- rgb(Kmeans2#centers[clusters(Kmeans2),])
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data = imgVEC, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point(colour = colassign) +
labs(title = paste("k-Means Clustering of", kClusters, "Colours")) +
xlab("x") +
ylab("y")
Did not find a way to use grid.raster() properly but found a way to do it by ggplot2 when plotting the RGB channels separately. Note: this only works for plotting the pannels separately, but this is what I needed. Following shows the code for green channel.
#RGB channels are respectively stored in columns 1,2,3.
#x-axis and y-axis values are stored in columns 4,5.
#original image is a nx5 matrix
ggplot(original_img[,c(3,4,5)], aes(x, y)) +
geom_point(aes(colour = segmented_img[,3])) +
scale_color_gradient2()+
# scale_color_distiller(palette="RdYlBu") can be used instead of scale_color_gradient2() to get color selections of choice using palette as argument.

Wrong density values in a histogram with `fill` option in `ggplot2`

I was creating histograms with ggplot2 in R whose bins are separated with colors and noticed one thing. When the bins of a histogram are separated by colors with fill option, the density value of the histogram turns funny.
Here is the data.
set.seed(42)
x <- rnorm(10000,0,1)
df <- data.frame(x=x, b=x>1)
This is a histogram without fill.
ggplot(df, aes(x = x)) +
geom_histogram(aes(y=..density..))
This is a histogram with fill.
ggplot(df, aes(x = x, fill=b)) +
geom_histogram(aes(y=..density..))
You can see the latter is pretty crazy. The left side of the bins is sticking out. The density values of the bins of each color are obviously wrong.
I thought over this issue for a while. The data can't be wrong for the first histogram was normal. It should be something in ggplot2 or geom_histogram function. I googled "geom_histogram density fill" and couldn't find much help.
I want the end product to look like:
Separated by colors as you see in the second histogram
Size and shape identical to the first histogram
The vertical axis being density
How would you deal with issue?
I think what you may want is this:
ggplot(df, aes(x = x, fill=b)) +
geom_histogram()
Rather than the density. As mentioned above the density is asking for extra calcuations.
One thing that is important (in my opinion) is that histograms are graphs of one variable. As soon as you start adding data from other variables you start to change them more into bar charts or something else like that.
You will want work on setting the axis manually if you want it to range from 0 to .4.
The solution is to hand-compute density like this (instead of using the built-in ggplot2 version):
library(ggplot2)
# Generate test data
set.seed(42)
x <- rnorm(10000,0,1)
df <- data.frame(x=x, b=x>1)
ggplot(df, aes(x = x, fill=b)) +
geom_histogram(mapping = aes(y = ..count.. / (sum(..count..) * ..width..)))
when you provide a column name for the fill parameter in ggplot it groups varaiables and plots them according to each group with a unique color.
if you want a single color for the plot just specify the color you want:
FIXED
ggplot(df, aes(x = x)) +
geom_histogram(aes(y=..density..),fill="Blue")

Clustering dots in a scatterplot

Let's say I have this data.frame:
df <- data.frame(x = rep(1, 20), y = runif(20, 10, 20))
and I want to plot df$y vs. df$x.
Since the x values are constant, points that have identical or close y values will be plotted on top of each other in a simple scatterplot, which kind of hides the density of points at such y-values. One solution for that situation is of course to use a violin plot.
I'm looking for another solution - plotting clusters of points instead of the individual points, which will therefore look similar to a bubble plot. In a bubble plot however, a third dimension is required in order to make the bubbles meaningful, which I don't have in my data. Does anyone know of an R function/package that take as input points (and probably a defined radius) and will cluster them and plot them?
You can jitter the x values:
plot(jitter(df$x),df$y)
You could try a hexplot, using either the hexplot library or stat_binhex in ggplot2.
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/hexbin/
http://docs.ggplot2.org/0.9.3/stat_binhex.html
The other standard approach (vs. jitter) is to use a partially transparent color, so that overlapping points will appear darker than "lone" points.
De gustibus, etc.
Using transparency is another solution. E.g.:
ggplot(df, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
geom_point(alpha=0.2, size=3)
When there is only one x value, a density plot:
ggplot(df, aes(x=y)) +
stat_density(geom="line")
or a violin plot:
ggplot(df, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
geom_violin()
might also be options for displaying your data.
look at the sunflowerplot function (and the xyTable function that it uses to count overlapping points).
You could also use the my.symbols function from the TeachingDemos package with the results of xyTable to use other shapes (polygrams or example).

How to plot stacked point histograms?

What's the ggplot2 equivalent of "dotplot" histograms? With stacked points instead of bars? Similar to this solution in R:
Plot Histogram with Points Instead of Bars
Is it possible to do this in ggplot2? Ideally with the points shown as stacks and a faint line showing the smoothed line "fit" to these points (which would make a histogram shape.)
ggplot2 does dotplots Link to the manual.
Here is an example:
library(ggplot2)
set.seed(789); x <- data.frame(y = sample(1:20, 100, replace = TRUE))
ggplot(x, aes(y)) + geom_dotplot()
In order to make it behave like a simple dotplot, we should do this:
ggplot(x, aes(y)) + geom_dotplot(binwidth=1, method='histodot')
You should get this:
To address the density issue, you'll have to add another term, ylim(), so that your plot call will have the form ggplot() + geom_dotplot() + ylim()
More specifically, you'll write ylim(0, A), where A will be the number of stacked dots necessary to count 1.00 density. In the example above, the best you can do is see that 7.5 dots reach the 0.50 density mark. From there, you can infer that 15 dots will reach 1.00.
So your new call looks like this:
ggplot(x, aes(y)) + geom_dotplot(binwidth=1, method='histodot') + ylim(0, 15)
Which will give you this:
Usually, this kind of eyeball estimate will work for dotplots, but of course you can try other values to fine-tune your scale.
Notice how changing the ylim values doesn't affect how the data is displayed, it just changes the labels in the y-axis.
As #joran pointed out, we can use geom_dotplot
require(ggplot2)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = mpg)) + geom_dotplot()
Edit: (moved useful comments into the post):
The label "count" it's misleading because this is actually a density estimate may be you could suggest we changed this label to "density" by default. The ggplot implementation of dotplot follow the original one of Leland Wilkinson, so if you want to understand clearly how it works take a look at this paper.
An easy transformation to make the y axis actually be counts, i.e. "number of observations". From the help page it is written that:
When binning along the x axis and stacking along the y axis, the numbers on y axis are not meaningful, due to technical limitations of ggplot2. You can hide the y axis, as in one of the examples, or manually scale it to match the number of dots.
So you can use this code to hide y axis:
ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = mpg)) +
geom_dotplot(binwidth = 1.5) +
scale_y_continuous(name = "", breaks = NULL)
I introduce an exact approach using #Waldir Leoncio's latter method.
library(ggplot2); library(grid)
set.seed(789)
x <- data.frame(y = sample(1:20, 100, replace = TRUE))
g <- ggplot(x, aes(y)) + geom_dotplot(binwidth=0.8)
g # output to read parameter
### calculation of width and height of panel
grid.ls(view=TRUE, grob=FALSE)
real_width <- convertWidth(unit(1,'npc'), 'inch', TRUE)
real_height <- convertHeight(unit(1,'npc'), 'inch', TRUE)
### calculation of other values
width_coordinate_range <- diff(ggplot_build(g)$panel$ranges[[1]]$x.range)
real_binwidth <- real_width / width_coordinate_range * 0.8 # 0.8 is the argument binwidth
num_balls <- real_height / 1.1 / real_binwidth # the number of stacked balls. 1.1 is expanding value.
# num_balls is the value of A
g + ylim(0, num_balls)
Apologies : I don't have enough reputation to 'comment'.
I like cuttlefish44's "exact approach", but to make it work (with ggplot2 [2.2.1]) I had to change the following line from :
### calculation of other values
width_coordinate_range <- diff(ggplot_build(g)$panel$ranges[[1]]$x.range)
to
### calculation of other values
width_coordinate_range <- diff(ggplot_build(g)$layout$panel_ranges[[1]]$x.range)

Problems making a graphic in ggplot

I an working with ggplot. I want to desine a graphic with ggplot. This graphics is with two continuous variables but I would like to get a graphic like this:
Where x and y are the continuous variables. My problem is I can't get it to show circles in the line of the plot. I would like the plot to have circles for each pair of observations from the continuous variables. For example in the attached graphic, it has a circle for pairs (1,1), (2,2) and (3,3). It is possible to get it? (The colour of the line doesn't matter.)
# dummy data
dat <- data.frame(x = 1:5, y = 1:5)
ggplot(dat, aes(x,y,color=x)) +
geom_line(size=3) +
geom_point(size=10) +
scale_colour_continuous(low="blue",high="red")
Playing with low/high will change the colours.
In general, to remove the legend, use + theme(legend.position="none")
