How to use ggplot to plot T-SNE clustering

Question

Here is the t-SNE code using IRIS data:

library(Rtsne)
iris_unique <- unique(iris) # Remove duplicates
iris_matrix <- as.matrix(iris_unique[,1:4])
set.         


        

Answer 1

I think the easiest/cleanest ggplot way would be to store all the info you need in a data.frame and then plot it. From your code pasted above, this should work:

library(ggplot2)
tsne_plot <- data.frame(x = tsne_out$Y[,1], y = tsne_out$Y[,2], col = iris_unique$Species)
ggplot(tsne_plot) + geom_point(aes(x=x, y=y, color=col))

My plot using the regular plot function is:

plot(tsne_out$Y,col=iris_unique$Species)
