Remove fill around legend key in ggplot - r

I would like to remove the gray rectangle around the legend. I have tried various methods but none have worked.
ggtheme <-
theme(
axis.text.x = element_text(colour='black'),
axis.text.y = element_text(colour='black'),
panel.background = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_rect(colour='black', fill=NA),
strip.background = element_blank(),
legend.justification = c(0, 1),
legend.position = c(0, 1),
legend.background = element_rect(colour = NA),
legend.key = element_rect(colour = "white", fill = NA),
legend.title = element_blank()
)
colors <- c("red", "blue")
df <- data.frame(year = c(1:10), value = c(10:19), gender = rep(c("male","female"),each=5))
ggplot(df, aes(x = year, y = value)) + geom_point(aes(colour=gender)) +
stat_smooth(method = "loess", formula = y ~ x, level=0, size = 1,
aes(group = gender, colour=gender)) +
ggtheme + scale_color_manual(values = colors)

You get this grey color inside legend keys because you use stat_smooth() that as default makes also confidence interval around the line with some fill (grey if fill= isn't used inside the aes()).
One solution is to set se=FALSE for stat_smooth() if you don't need the confidence intervals.
+stat_smooth(method = "loess", formula = y ~ x, level=0, size = 1,
aes(group = gender, colour=gender),se=FALSE)
Another solution is to use the function guides() and override.aes= to remove fill from the legend but keep confidence intervals around lines.
+ guides(color=guide_legend(override.aes=list(fill=NA)))

theme_set(theme_gray() + theme(legend.key=element_blank()))
If you want also to remove grey background:
theme_set(theme_bw() + theme(legend.key=element_blank()))

+ theme(legend.background=element_blank())

How to plot counts stackbar in ggplot2 R?

Dataset contains "two friends" and coded "interaction" (all factors). I want to plot the frequency of type of interactions between two friends using a stacked bar. I tried the following code.
Friend1 <- c("A","A","A","A","A","A","A","A","B","B","B","B","B","B","B","B")
Friend2 <- c("1","1","2","2","1","1","2","2","1","1","2","2","1","1","2","2")
Interaction <- c("O","X","D","D","D","X","X","D/R","O","X","D","D","D","X","X","D/R")
df <- data.frame(Friend1, Friend2, Interaction)
df$Friend1 <- as.factor(as.character(df$Friend1))
df$Friend2 <- as.factor(as.character(df$Friend2))
df$Interaction <- as.factor(as.character(df$Interaction))
ggplot(df, aes(fill=Interaction, y=count(Interaction), x=Friend2)) +
geom_bar(position="fill", stat="identity", color = "white") + theme_classic() + theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_rect(colour = "black", size=1)) + theme(strip.background = element_blank()) + facet_grid(.~Friend1)
Erorr: Error in UseMethod("count") :
no applicable method for 'count' applied to an object of class "character"
How do I "count" these factors to visualize frequency of interactions?
The issue is that dplyr::count expects a dataframe as its first argument and returns a dataframe. However, there is no reason to compute the counts as geom_bar will do that by default, i.e. get rid of y=... and stat="identity":
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df, aes(fill = Interaction, x = Friend2)) +
geom_bar(position = "fill", color = "white") +
theme_classic() +
theme(
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_rect(colour = "black", size = 1)
) +
theme(strip.background = element_blank()) +
facet_grid(. ~ Friend1)
An alternative visualization using facets per "friends" column may make your counts clearer than a standard stacked bar:
ggplot(df, aes(x = 1, fill = Interaction)) +
geom_bar(width = 1, color = "white", size = 1, alpha = 0.8) +
geom_text(stat = "count", aes(label = after_stat(count)), size = 7,
position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5), color = "white",
fontface = 2) +
facet_grid(Friend1 ~ Friend2, switch = "both") +
scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Set1") +
coord_polar(theta = "y") +
labs(x = "Friend1", y = "Friend2") +
theme_bw(base_size = 20) +
theme(panel.grid = element_blank(),
strip.background = element_blank(),
strip.placement = "outside",
axis.text.x = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_rect(color = "gray90", fill = NA),
panel.spacing = unit(0, "mm"),
axis.text = element_blank(),
axis.ticks = element_blank())

Remove standard deviation from legend ggplot in R

I would like to remove sd bars and mean from legend while keeping them on the main figure. In my case I have this:
And I want something like this:
This is my code:
data_summary <- function(x) {
m <- mean(x)
ymin <- m-std.error(x)
ymax <- m+std.error(x)
return(c(y=m,ymin=ymin,ymax=ymax))
}
a<-ggplot(esto,aes(x= Group, y=value, colour = Group, fill=fluency_test),
pattern_fill = "black",
colour = 'black') +
geom_boxplot(outlier.shape = NA,lwd=1.5) +
guides(colour = "none")+
geom_point(position=position_jitterdodge(),alpha=0.5)+
xlab("Group")+
labs(y = names(features)[[i_feature]])+
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1))+
stat_summary(fun.data=data_summary, color="black",position=position_dodge(width=0.75), size = 1.3)+
scale_shape_manual("Summary Statistics", values=c("Mean"="+"))+
scale_color_manual(values=c("#7CAE00","#F8766D","#00BFC4","#C77CFF"))+
scale_fill_manual(values=c("white","azure3"))+
theme_gray(base_size = 18)+
theme(legend.key.size = unit(2, "cm"),
legend.key.width = unit(1,"cm"),legend.title=element_blank(),panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(), axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"))
You can prevent the point range from being displayed in the legend by adding show.legend=FALSE to stat_summary.
Using a minimal reprex based on mtcars:
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = cyl, y = mpg, color = factor(cyl))) +
geom_boxplot() +
stat_summary(color = "black", show.legend = FALSE)
#> No summary function supplied, defaulting to `mean_se()`

Draw a box around a legend ggplot2

I created a plot with a custom legend in ggplot2. I tried to draw a box around all the items in the legend, however I could only draw a box around each individual item. How can I create only one box around all the items?
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, cty)) +
geom_point(aes(shape = "Data")) +
stat_smooth(aes(linetype = "Regression"), method = "lm",
formula = y ~ x, se = FALSE, colour = 1, size = 0.5) +
scale_shape_manual(values = 1) +
labs(shape = "", linetype = "") +
theme_classic() +
theme(panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill=NA),
aspect.ratio = 1, axis.text = element_text(colour = 1, size = 12),
legend.background = element_rect(linetype = 2, size = 0.5, colour = 1))
It seems that the legend.background rectangle overlaps the legend.box.background rectangle. An easy fix is to set legend.background = element_blank().
But then, in my opinion, the spacing in the legend is ugly. The legend titles take up too much space even with no title set. Fix this be setting legend.title = element_blank(). Also the spacing between the two legends is too large. Fix this by setting the space to zero legend.spacing.y = unit(0, "mm")
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, cty)) +
geom_point(aes(shape = "Data")) +
stat_smooth(aes(linetype = "Regression"), method = "lm",
formula = y ~ x, se = FALSE, colour = 1, size = 0.5) +
scale_shape_manual(values = 1) +
labs(shape = "", linetype = "") +
theme_classic() +
theme(legend.title = element_blank(),
legend.spacing.y = unit(0, "mm"),
panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill=NA),
aspect.ratio = 1, axis.text = element_text(colour = 1, size = 12),
legend.background = element_blank(),
legend.box.background = element_rect(colour = "black"))

How to change size of points of legend when 2 legends are present

I have a graph where two legends are present. I need to change the size of the points of one of the legends.
I need to change the bullet size of "market type" in the legend. I use the example here but does not work for my graph.
My code is below:
k <- ggplot(subsetdf) + theme_bw() +
geom_point( aes(y=y, x=x, size =Total.Unit.Count, fill = region), shape=21)+
scale_colour_hue(aes(y=y, x=x),l=50) + # Use a slightly darker palette than normal
geom_text_repel (aes(y=y, x=x, label = rownames(subsetdf))) +
geom_smooth(aes(x=x, y=y),method=lm, # Add linear regression lines
se=FALSE) +
labs(y = "title", x = "title",
title = "title",
size = "size", fill = "fill")+
theme(plot.title = element_text (face = 'bold',size = 21,hjust = 0.5),
legend.text = element_text(size = 16),
legend.title = element_text(size = 18),
axis.title.x = element_text(size=20),
axis.title.y = element_text(size=20),
axis.text.x = element_text(size = 18,angle=45, hjust=1),
axis.text.y = element_text(size = 18,hjust = 1),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank())+
scale_size_continuous(range = c(3,8))+
guides(colour = guide_legend(override.aes = list(size=10)))
You used the fill aesthetic guide, not color. So that is the guide to override.
Below is an example with iris dataset, as you code is not reproducible.
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(iris) +
geom_point(aes(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length, size = Sepal.Width, fill = Species), shape = 21) +
guides(fill = guide_legend(override.aes = list(size=8)))

Add legend to ggplot object (why two legends?)

I created a ggplot2 object:
a <- replicate(8,rnorm(100))
colnames(a) <- letters[1:8]
b < -melt(a,id.vars=1:1)
colnames(b) <- c("c","variable","value")
ggplot(b,aes(x = c,y = value, colour = variable, linetype = variable)) +
geom_line()+
geom_point(aes(shape = factor(variable)), size = 1.7) +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-1, 1),
breaks = seq(-1, 1, 0.1),
expand=c(0.01, 0.01)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(-1, 1),
breaks = seq(-1, 1, 0.1),
expand = c(0.01, 0.01))+
theme_bw(base_size = 12, base_family = "Helvetica") +
theme(axis.text=element_text(size = 10),
axis.title=element_text(size = 10),
text = element_text(size = 10),
axis.line = element_line(size = 0.25),
axis.ticks=element_line(size = 0.25),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
#panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill = NA, size = 0.5),
panel.background = element_blank(),
legend.position = "top" ,
legend.direction = "vertical",
legend.title = element_blank(),
legend.text = element_text(size = 13),
legend.background = element_blank(),
legend.key = element_blank()) +
labs(x = '', y = '', title = "") +
theme(plot.title = element_text(size=10)) +
theme(strip.text.x = element_text(size = 8,color="black"),
strip.background = element_blank()) +
theme(strip.text.x = element_text(size = 8, colour = "black"))
My problem is the following:
when I create the legend, there is a separate legend for the colors and a separate one for the points.
How can I create a single legend for each of the 8 variables?
Let me minimise your code and focus on the legend issue. This is what you have now.
ggplot(b,aes(x = c, y = value, colour = variable, linetype = variable)) +
geom_line() +
geom_point(aes(shape = factor(variable)),size=1.7)
Your data frame, b has variable as factor. You use this in two ways here; variable and factor(variable). You can simply use variable for shape in geom_point; make all variable identical.
ggplot(b,aes(x = c, y = value, colour = variable, linetype = variable)) +
geom_line()+
geom_point(aes(shape = variable),size = 1.7)
I saw some warning messages related to colours and other things. You may want to take care of them. But, for legend, this is one way to go.
Take from the ideas on this page: http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Legends_(ggplot2)/#modifying-the-text-of-legend-titles-and-labels
I edited your code to make the data visible (you had problems with your x-axis limits. Note the final three lines. These commands tell ggplot to create only one legend.
a<-replicate(6,rnorm(100))
colnames(a)<-letters[1:6]
b<-melt(a,id.vars=1:1)
colnames(b)<-c("c","variable","value")
ggplot(b,aes(x=c,y=value,colour=variable,linetype=variable)) +
geom_line() + geom_point(aes(shape=factor(variable)),size=1.7)+
scale_x_continuous(limits=c(0,100))+
scale_y_continuous(limits=c(-2,2),breaks=seq(-2,2,0.1),expand=c(0.01,0.01))+
theme_bw(base_size=12, base_family="Helvetica") +
theme(axis.text=element_text(size=10),
axis.title=element_text(size=10),
text = element_text(size=10),
axis.line = element_line(size=0.25),
axis.ticks=element_line(size=0.25),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
#panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_rect(colour="black",fill=NA,size=0.5),
panel.background = element_blank(),
legend.position="top" ,
legend.direction="vertical",
legend.title=element_blank(),
legend.text=element_text(size=13),
legend.background=element_blank(),
legend.key=element_blank())+
labs(x='', y='',title="")+
theme(plot.title=element_text(size=10))+
theme(strip.text.x = element_text(size = 8,color="black"),strip.background=element_blank())+
theme(strip.text.x = element_text(size = 8,color="black"))+
