Plot Variable Frequency using ggplot2 - r

I'd like to plot a bar graph showing frequency of a string in ggplot. The input file (t1. txt) looks like:
do 4
re 2
mi 5
and my current r script is:
library("ggplot2")
t1<-read.table("t1.txt",header=FALSE,sep='\t')
ggplot(t1,aes(V1))+geom_bar()
However this isn't what I'd like - it has a correct x axis, but the y axis should show the variable from the second column (V2). Can anyone help? Thanks.


All you need to do is put the actual V2 in the command then. The default first two items to aes are x and y. You've only given x.
ggplot(t1,aes(V1,V2))+geom_bar()

Plotting a legend using legend(x,y ....) but x axis are dates in R

I'm trying to put a legend on a line graph using legend(x,y, legend=c("","").... etc. I've changed the date to numeric data and used that for x and it plots, so I know the rest of its right. but when x is a date I'm not sure what to use for x to get the legend to show on the graph.
thanks

In R, how do i make one variable and column the X axis of a histogram

There are 7 different tree types and I'd like to find out which tree is most climbed. I would like to plot it in a histogram but I don't know how to make that variable into the x axis.
This is the data I'm working with
This is what I want the end result to look like

Using ggplot2 package, that's what you are searching for :
ggplot(df,aes(x=Tree,y=count)) + geom_bar(stat="identity")
With df being that dataframe of your screen.

How to plot for repeating values in R

I am trying to implement an array in R but plotting same y-values for all x values. If value is NA, then it shouldn't be plotted
I tried the following plot which shows the histogram for all 10 values.
plot(c(1,2,NA,3,4,5,3,NA,2,4),type='h', ylim=c(0,4))
However, for the case below, when I try to control the y-values, the repeated values are not considered in the plot.
plot(c(1,2,NA,3,4,5,3,NA,2,4), rep(1,10),type='h', ylim=c(0,4))
Is this possible with plot function? Please suggest if the same can be done with an alternative.

Please look again at the help page of ?plot.
In your second line you plot the y value 1 at the x values 1 to 5. The plot you get is exactly the plot you asked for, which is not the plot you cared for. In the first plot, your values are interpreted as the y values, not the x values. The x values in the plot are just the indices in the first example.
If you want to get the lines not plotted at the NA values, just do:
x <- c(1,2,NA,3,4,5,3,NA,2,4)
plot(!is.na(x), type = 'h')
Now you plot a TRUE (which is a value of 1) whenever there is a value, and FALSE (which translates to 0) whenever there is none.
This is the exact same as :
xx <- ifelse(is.na(x),0,1)
plot(xx, type = 'h')
On a sidenote: Please do not call this a histogram. A histogram represents counts for bins, this doesn't even come close to that.

plot(!is.na(c(1,2,NA,3,4,5,3,NA,2,4)),type='h', ylim=c(0,4))

How to send parameter to Geom.histogram when using Geom.subplot_grid in Gadfly?

I am trying to plot several histograms for the same data set, but with different numbers of bins. I am using Gadfly.
Suppose x is just an array of real values, plotting each histogram works:
plot(x=x, Geom.histogram(bincount=10))
plot(x=x, Geom.histogram(bincount=20))
But I'm trying to put all the histograms together. I've added the number of bins as another dimension to my data set:
x2 = vcat(hcat(10*ones(length(x)), x), hcat(20*ones(length(x)), x)
df = DataFrame(Bins=x2[:,1], X=x2[:,2])
Is there any way to send the number of bins (the value from the first column) to Geom.histogram when using Geom.subplot_grid? Something like this:
plot(df, x="X", ygroup="Bins", Geom.subplot_grid(Geom.histogram(?)))

I think you would be better off not using subplot grid at that point, and instead just combine them with vstack or hstack. From the docs
Plots can also be stacked horizontally with ``hstack`` or vertically with
``vstack``. This allows more customization in regards to tick marks, axis
labeling, and other plot details than is available with ``subplot_grid``.

R histogram with numbers under bars

I had some problems while trying to plot a histogram to show the frequency of every value while plotting the value as well. For example, suppose I use the following code:
x <- sample(1:10,1000,replace=T)
hist(x,label=TRUE)
The result is a plot with labels over the bar, but merging the frequencies of 1 and 2 in a single bar.
Apart from separate this bar in two others for 1 and 2, I also need to put the values under each bar.
For example, with the code above I would have the number 10 under the tick at the right margin of its bar, and I needed to plot the values right under the bars.
Is there any way to do both in a single histogram with hist function?
Thanks in advance!

Calling hist silently returns information you can use to modify the plot. You can pull out the midpoints and the heights and use that information to put the labels where you want them. You can use the pos argument in text to specify where the label should be in relation to the point (thanks #rawr)
x <- sample(1:10,1000,replace=T)
## Histogram
info <- hist(x, breaks = 0:10)
with(info, text(mids, counts, labels=counts, pos=1))
