I'm making a multiple lines plot with errorbars. If I don't use the size
argument, everything is fine:
# sample data
Response=runif(4)
ResponseMin=Response-Response/5
ResponseMax=Response+Response/5
Cases=rep(c("Case1","Case2"),each=2)
df=data.frame(x=1:2,Average=Response,Lower=ResponseMin,Upper=ResponseMax,Case=Cases)
# let's plot
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=Average,colour=Case)) +
geom_line(aes(group=Case)) +
geom_point() +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=Lower,ymax=Upper,width=0.25)) +
labs(y="foo",title="Some plot fu")
However, when I modify the line size, I start getting weird stuff:
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=Average,colour=Case)) +
geom_line(aes(group=Case, size = 1)) +
geom_point() +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=Lower,ymax=Upper,width=0.25)) +
labs(y="foo",title="Some plot fu")
Why the extra legend entry "1"? And when I add a size
argument for the errobars, it looks like the size of the lines stays the same, whatever the value of size
is:
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=Average,colour=Case)) +
geom_line(aes(group=Case, size = 1)) +
geom_point() +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=Lower,ymax=Upper,width=0.25, size = 1)) +
labs(y="foo",title="Some plot fu")
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=Average,colour=Case)) +
geom_line(aes(group=Case, size = 2)) +
geom_point() +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=Lower,ymax=Upper,width=0.25, size = 2)) +
labs(y="foo",title="Some plot fu")
Can you help me figure out what's happening here?
If you set size
inside aes
you are mapping it to a variable
`1` = 1
and ggplot2 creates a legend. If you just want to set the size, you can do that outside of aes
:
geom_line(aes(group=Case), size = 1)
try this, size outside aes()
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=Average,colour=Case)) +
geom_line(aes(group=Case), size = 1) +
geom_point() +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=Lower,ymax=Upper,width=0.25)) +
labs(y="foo",title="Some plot fu")
