【问题描述】:
总结:当我使用“for”循环将层添加到小提琴图(在 ggplot 中)时,唯一添加的层是由最终循环迭代创建的层。然而,在模仿循环将产生的代码的显式代码中,所有层都被添加了。
详细信息:我正在尝试创建具有重叠层的小提琴图,以显示估计分布在多个调查问题响应中重叠或不重叠的程度,按地点分层。我希望能够包含任意数量的地方,所以我在每个地方的数据框中有一列,并尝试使用“for”循环为每个地方生成一个 ggplot 层。但循环只添加循环最后一次迭代中的层。
这段代码说明了问题,以及一些失败的建议方法:
library(ggplot2)
# Create a dataframe with 500 random normal values for responses to 3 survey questions from two cities
topic <- c("Poverty %","Mean Age","% Smokers")
place <- c("Chicago","Miami")
n <- 500
mean <- c(35, 40,58, 50, 25,20)
var <- c( 7, 1.5, 3, .25, .5, 1)
df <- data.frame( topic=rep(topic,rep(n,length(topic)))
,c(rnorm(n,mean[1],var[1]),rnorm(n,mean[3],var[3]),rnorm(n,mean[5],var[5]))
,c(rnorm(n,mean[2],var[2]),rnorm(n,mean[4],var[4]),rnorm(n,mean[6],var[6]))
)
names(df)[2:dim(df)[2]] <- place # Name those last two columns with the corresponding place name.
head(df)
# This "for" loop seems to only execute the final loop (i.e., where p=3)
g <- ggplot(df, aes(factor(topic), df[,2]))
for (p in 2:dim(df)[2]) {
g <- g + geom_violin(aes(y = df[,p], colour = place[p-1]), alpha = 0.3)
}
g
# But mimicing what the for loop does in explicit code works fine, resulting in both "place"s being displayed in the graph.
g <- ggplot(df, aes(factor(topic), df[,2]))
g <- g + geom_violin(aes(y = df[,2], colour = place[2-1]), alpha = 0.3)
g <- g + geom_violin(aes(y = df[,3], colour = place[3-1]), alpha = 0.3)
g
## per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18444620/set-layers-in-ggplot2-via-loop , I tried
g <- ggplot(df, aes(factor(topic), df[,2]))
for (p in 2:dim(df)[2]) {
df1 <- df[,c(1,p)]
g <- g + geom_violin(aes(y = df1[,2], colour = place[p-1]), alpha = 0.3)
}
g
# but got the same undesired result
# per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15987367/how-to-add-layers-in-ggplot-using-a-for-loop , I tried
g <- ggplot(df, aes(factor(topic), df[,2]))
for (p in names(df)[-1]) {
cat(p,"\n")
g <- g + geom_violin(aes_string(y = p, colour = p), alpha = 0.3) # produced this error: Error in unit(tic_pos.c, "mm") : 'x' and 'units' must have length > 0
# g <- g + geom_violin(aes_string(y = p ), alpha = 0.3) # produced this error: Error: stat_ydensity requires the following missing aesthetics: y
}
g
# but that failed to produce any graphic, per the errors noted in the "for" loop above

你为什么不把数据帧
melt长格式?
