Hi all: I'm attempting to create a faceted plot with ggplot2 and I'm having issues with a factor's order that is used to define the facet_grid().
The factor (named total.density) has three levels - 8, 16, and 32 - and I would like them presented in that order. Running order(levels(total.density)) yields the incorrect order of the facet grid - 2 3 1, corresponding with 16, 32, and 8. I have attempted correcting the order with the following solutions (of course, not run at once): #total.density <- relevel(total.density, '8') #total.density <- as.numeric(levels(total.density)[total.density]) #total.density <- factor(total.density, levels = c('8','16','32')) #total.density <- factor(total.density, levels = levels(total.density)[c(3,1,2)]) #library(gregmisc) #total.density <- reorder.factor(total.density, c('8', '16', '32'), order = T) The data are as follows: total.density <- c(8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32) I'm running R 2.14.2 with all packages up-to-date as of 21.3.2012. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Justin Montemarano Graduate Student Kent State University - Biological Sciences http://www.montegraphia.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
