ggplot2

Books

The Grammar of Graphics

  • Data: Raw data that we'd like to visualize
  • Geometrics: shapes that we use to visualize data
  • Aesthetics: Properties of geometries (size, color, etc)
  • Scales: Mapping between geometries and aesthetics

Scatterplot aesthetics

  • x, y
  • shape
  • color
  • size
  • alpha

Some examples

Examples from 'R for Data Science' book - Aesthetic mappings

ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(mapping = aes(x = displ, y = hwy))
  # the 'mapping' is the 1st argument for all geom_* functions, so we can safely skip it.
# template
ggplot(data = <DATA>) + 
  <GEOM_FUNCTION>(mapping = aes(<MAPPINGS>))

# add another variable through color, size, alpha or shape
ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy, color = class))

ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy, size = class))

ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy, alpha = class))

ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy, shape = class))

ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy), color = "blue")

# add another variable through facets
ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy)) + 
  facet_wrap(~ class, nrow = 2)

# add another 2 variables through facets
ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy)) + 
  facet_grid(drv ~ cyl)

Examples from 'R for Data Science' book - Geometric objects, lines and smoothers

# Points
ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_point(aes(x = displ, y = hwy))

# Smoothed
ggplot(data = mpg) + 
  geom_smooth(aes(x = displ, y = hwy))

# Points + smoother, add transparency to points, remove se
ggplot(data = mpg, mapping = aes(x = displ, y = hwy)) + 
  geom_point(alpha=1/10) +
  geom_smooth(se=FALSE)    

# Colored points + smoother
ggplot(data = mpg, aes(x = displ, y = hwy)) + 
  geom_point(aes(color = class)) + 
  geom_smooth()

Examples from 'R for Data Science' book - Transformation

# y axis = counts
# bar plot
ggplot(data = diamonds) + 
  geom_bar(aes(x = cut))
# Or
ggplot(data = diamonds) + 
  stat_count(aes(x = cut))

# y axis = proportion
ggplot(data = diamonds) + 
  geom_bar(aes(x = cut, y = ..prop.., group = 1))

# bar plot with 2 variables
ggplot(data = diamonds) + 
  geom_bar(aes(x = cut, fill = clarity))

facet_wrap and facet_grid to create a panel of plots

Color palette

Color picker

https://github.com/daattali/colourpicker

Colour related aesthetics: colour, fill and alpha

https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/aes_colour_fill_alpha.html

ggplot2::scale functions and scales packages

  • Scales control the mapping from data to aesthetics. They take your data and turn it into something that you can see, like size, colour, position or shape.
  • Scales also provide the tools that let you read the plot: the axes and legends.

ggplot2::scale

https://ggplot2-book.org/scales.html

Naming convention: scale_AestheticName_Variabletype

Examples:

  • See Figure 12.1: Axis and legend components on the book ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis 
    # Set x-axis label
scale_x_discrete("Car type")   # or a shortcut xlab() or labs()
scale_x_continuous("Displacement")

# Set legend title
scale_colour_discrete("Drive\ntrain")    # or a shortcut labs()

# Change the default color
scale_color_brewer()

# Change the axis scale
scale_x_sqrt()

# Change breaks and their labels
scale_x_continuous(breaks = c(2000, 4000), labels = c("2k", "4k"))

# Relabel the breaks in a categorical scale
scale_y_discrete(labels = c(a = "apple", b = "banana", c = "carrot"))

=== Emulate ggplot2 default color palette ===
It is just equally spaced hues around the color wheel.

A 'shiny' gadget to create 'ggplot2' charts interactively with drag-and-drop to map your variables. You can quickly visualize your data accordingly to their type, export to 'PNG' or 'PowerPoint', and retrieve the code to reproduce the chart.

The interface introduces basic terms used in ggplot2: 
* x, y, 
* fill (useful for geom_bar, geom_rect, geom_boxplot, & geom_raster, not useful for scatterplot), 
* color (edges for geom_bar, geom_line, geom_point), 
* size,
* [http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Facets_(ggplot2)/ facet], split up your data by one or more variables and plot the subsets of data together.

It does not include all features in ggplot2. At the bottom of the interface, 
* Labels & title & caption.
* Plot options. Palette, theme, legend position.
* Data. Remove subset of data.
* Export & code. Copy/save the R code. Export file as PNG or PowerPoint.

You can set the labels with xlab() and ylab(), or make it part of the scale_*.* call.

<pre>
labs(x = "sample size", y = "ngenes (glmnet)")

    name-value pairs

    See several examples (color, fill, size, ...) from opioid prescribing habits in texas.

    Prevent sorting of x labels

    See Change the order of a discrete x scale.

    The idea is to set the levels of x variable. 

    junk   # n x 2 table
colnames(junk) <- c("gset", "boot")
junk$gset <- factor(junk$gset, levels = as.character(junk$gset))
ggplot(data = junk, aes(x = gset, y = boot, group = 1)) + 
  geom_line() + 
  theme(axis.text.x=element_text(color = "black", angle=30, vjust=.8, hjust=0.8))

    Legends

    Legend title

    scale_colour_manual("Treatment", values = c("black", "red"))

    Hide legend

    gg + theme(legend.position="none")

    See Remove legend ggplot 2.2, How to remove legend from a ggplot.

    guide_legend()

    guide_legend() allows the modification of legends for scales, including fill, color, and shape.

    This function can be used in scale_fill_manual(), scale_fill_continuous(), ... functions. 

    scale_fill_manual(values=c("orange", "blue"), 
                  guide=guide_legend(title = "My Legend Title",
                                     nrow=1,
                                     label.position = "top",
                                     keywidth=2.5))

    Move the legend from right to top/bottom of the plot

    theme(legend.position = "top")

    ylim and xlim in ggplot2

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3606697/how-to-set-limits-for-axes-in-ggplot2-r-plots or the Zooming part of the cheatsheet

    Use one of the following

    • + scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-5000, 5000))
    • + coord_cartesian(xlim = c(-5000, 5000))
    • + xlim(-5000, 5000)

    ggtitle()

    Centered title

    See the Legends part of the cheatsheet. 

    ggtitle("MY TITLE") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))

    Subtitle

    ggtitle("My title",
        subtitle = "My subtitle")

    geom_rect()

    Note that we can use scale_fill_manual() to change the 'fill' colors (scheme/palette). The 'fill' parameter in geom_rect() is only used to define the discrete variable.

    text annotations: ggrepel package

    annotate("text", label="Toyota", x=3, y=100)

geom_text(aes(x, y, label), data, size, vjust, hjust, nudge_x)

    Fonts

    Adding Custom Fonts to ggplot in R

    Save the plots

    ggsave() We can specify dpi to increase the resolution. For example,
