It works! Thanks a lot for your explanations, Michael.
Good luck,

Betreff: Re: [R] ColorBrewer question
I believe you need to use the scale_fill_brewer since fill is the
color of the bars while color is the outside of the bars in
ggplot2-speak:
E.g., with built-in data (it's polite to provide yours so that your
minimal working example is working):
data(diamonds)
ggplot(diamonds, aes(clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = clarity, color = clarity))
# Note the borders are now changed but the fill is the same
ggplot(diamonds, aes(clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = clarity, color =
clarity)) + scale_color_brewer(pal = "Blues")
# Now the fill is changed, but you probably want to drop the border
coloring since it's hideous against the blues
ggplot(diamonds, aes(clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = clarity, color =
clarity)) + scale_fill_brewer(pal = "Blues")
# So lovely
ggplot(diamonds, aes(clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = clarity)) +
scale_fill_brewer(pal = "Blues")
