ggplot2: missing legend and how to add?

Question

I want to plot a bar and line chart from a dataframe. Code below,

library(\"ggplot2\")

numb <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
mydist <- c(53.846154,15.384615,15.384         


        

Answer 1

Without changing much of the original code, you only need to put your fill into aes mapping, then add the scale to set the colour values and labels:

ggplot(data=df,aes(x=numb)) + 
  geom_bar(stat="identity", aes(y=mydist, fill="green"), colour="green") +
  geom_line(aes(y=basedist,group=1, colour="base distribution")) +  
  geom_point(aes(y=basedist), colour="red") +
  ggtitle("My Chart") +
  labs(x="numb", y="percentage") +
  scale_x_discrete(limits=c("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9")) +
  scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(0,100,10)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = "green", labels = "my distribution") +
  theme(axis.title.x = element_text(size=10, colour ="#666666")) +
  theme(axis.title.y = element_text(size=10, color="#666666")) +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(size=16, face="bold", hjust=0, color="#666666")) +
  theme(axis.text = element_text(size=12)) +
  theme(legend.title = element_text(colour="white", size = 16, face='bold'))

Answer 2

Here is a brief example. In general, I would recommend you reformat ggplot() assignment to make debugging easier. i.e. gp <- gp +

gp <- ggplot(data=df, aes(x=numb))
gp <- gp + geom_bar( aes(y = mydist, fill = "green"), stat="identity", color="green")
gp <- gp + geom_line( aes( y = basedist, group = 1, colour = "base distribution"))
gp <- gp + scale_fill_manual(values = "green", labels = "my distribution")
gp <- gp + geom_point(aes(y=basedist), colour="red") 
gp <- gp + ggtitle("My Chart") 
gp <- gp + labs(x="numb", y="percentage") 
gp <- gp + scale_x_discrete(limits=c("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9")) 
gp <- gp + scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(0,100,10)) 
gp <- gp + theme(axis.title.x = element_text(size=10, colour ="#666666"))
gp <- gp + theme(axis.title.y = element_text(size=10, color="#666666"))
gp <- gp + theme(plot.title = element_text(size=16, face="bold", hjust=0, color="#666666"))
gp <- gp + theme(axis.text = element_text(size=12)) 
gp <- gp + theme(legend.title = element_text(colour="white", size = 16, face='bold'))
gp <- gp + theme(legend.key = element_blank(), legend.title=element_blank(), legend.box  ="vertical")
gp
