ggsave 从 ggplot+gridExtra 丢失 unicode 字符

Question

比你真正需要的更多的代码，但要设置心情：

#Make some data and load packages
data<-data.frame(pchange=runif(80,0,1),group=factor(sample(c(1,2,3),80,replace=T)))
library(dplyr)
library(magrittr)
library(gridExtra)
library(ggplot2)
data%<>%arrange(group,pchange) %>% mutate(num=1:80)

#Make plot that includes unicode characters
g1<-ggplot(data, aes(factor(num),pchange, fill = group,width=.4)) +
  geom_bar(stat="identity", position = "dodge") +
  theme_classic()+
  theme(axis.ticks = element_blank(), 
        axis.text.x = element_blank(),
        legend.position="right")+
  scale_y_continuous(breaks=c(0,.25,.5,.75,1))+
  xlab("")+
  scale_fill_discrete("Arbitrary Group",
                      breaks=c(1,2,3),
                      labels=c("< 1 Year", "\u2265 1 Year & \n\u2264 5 Years","> 5 Years"))


#I want to add an A below the plot (this may not be necessary for the issue, but its a part of the workflow so I thought I'd include it.
g <- arrangeGrob(plot=g1,
                 sub = textGrob("A",
                                x = .1,
                                hjust = .5,
                                vjust=-2,
                                gp = gpar(fontface = "bold",
                                          fontsize = 16,
                                          col="black")))

#Save the plot
ggsave(filename="X:/yourpath/Plot1.pdf", plot=g,
       width = 8, height = 4, units = "in", dpi = 600)

它是这样的：

它应该是这样的（就键中的字符而言；直接从 Rstudio 绘图窗口以 jpeg 形式绘制的绘图）：

Answer 1

你有两个选择。一、使用cairo_pdf设备代替默认的pdf在你调用ggsave，例如，

library(Cairo)
ggsave(filename="X:/yourpath/Plot1.pdf", plot=g, device=cairo_pdf,
       width = 8, height = 4, units = "in", dpi = 600)

另一种选择是使用表达式而不是显式的 unicode 字符：

g<-ggplot(data, aes(factor(num),pchange, fill = group,width=.4)) +
  geom_bar(stat="identity", position = "dodge") +
  theme_classic()+
  theme(axis.ticks = element_blank(), 
        axis.text.x = element_blank(),
        legend.position="right")+
  scale_y_continuous(breaks=c(0,.25,.5,.75,1))+
  xlab("")+
  scale_fill_discrete("Arbitrary Group",
                      breaks=c(1,2,3),
                      labels=c(expression(phantom(0) < "1 Year"), 
                              expression(paste(phantom(0) >= "1 Year &", phantom(0) <= "5 Years")),
                              expression(phantom(0) > "5 Years")))



ggsave(filename="Plot1.pdf", plot=g,
       width = 8, height = 4, units = "in", dpi = 600)

尽管如您所见，使用第二个选项的格式并不像您希望的那样严格。

至于你为什么会遇到这个问题，根据here的回答，pdf驱动只能处理单字节编码。
