Plot using ggplot2 graphics in R Programming Language
Table of Content:
For both histogram and density plot is very much useful for single varivable. Before woring on plot please see related data on which we are going to working.
# Installation install.packages("ggplot2") require(ggplot2) data(diamonds) class(diamonds) # understand the diamonds data set help(diamonds) # see first 6 rows how its looks like head(diamonds)
Plot histograms and densities with ggplot2
ggplot(data = diamonds) + geom_histogram( aes(x = carat) ) ggplot(data = diamonds) + geom_histogram( aes(x = carat), binwidth = .1 ) ggplot(data = diamonds) + geom_histogram( aes(x = carat), binwidth = .1 )
densities plot
ggplot(data = diamonds) + geom_density(aes(x = carat)) ggplot(data = diamonds) + geom_density(aes(x = carat), fill= "grey50")
Make scatterplots with ggplot2
ggplot(diamonds, aes(x = carat, y = price)) + geom_point()
You can do that above this in much flexiable manner like below for code reuseability
g <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(x = carat, y = price)) g + geom_point()
Color code the plot according to the color of the diamonds
g + geom_point(aes(color=color)) g + geom_point(aes(color=color, shape = cut))
You can see clearly the plot using Zoom
Make boxplots and violin plots with ggplot2
Box plot does not x axis
g <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(y = carat, x =1)) g + geom_boxplot()
Based on labels
g <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(y = carat, x =cut)) g + geom_boxplot()
violin plots
g <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(y = carat, x =cut)) g + geom_violin()
Layer Overlaping
g <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(y = carat, x =cut)) g + geom_point() + geom_violin()
Change the oreder of layers
g <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(y = carat, x =cut)) g + geom_violin() + geom_point()
Using geom_jitter
g <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(y = carat, x =cut)) g + geom_jitter() + geom_violin()
