Ista: Your attached code did work for me; moreover, the facets were presented in the desired order with facet_wrap() and facet_grid(), which is what I'm using because I have a second factor used in facet_grid().
Still, my plots with total.density as a facet are coming out in 16, 32, 8, and I'm not seeing why. Below is my plot code - ggplot(ag.tab[ag.tab$plant.sp == 'EC',], aes(x = days.out, y = per.remain)) > + facet_grid(total.density ~ prop.ec) + > #add point and error bar data > theme_set(theme_bw()) + > geom_point() + geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = per.remain - se, ymax = > per.remain + se), width = 3) + > #add predicted model data > geom_line(data = se.predict.data[se.predict.data$plant.sp == 'EC',], > aes(x = x.values, y = predicted.values), colour = c('red')) + > geom_line(data = dc.predict.data[dc.predict.data$plant.sp == 'EC',], > aes(x = x.values, y = predicted.values), colour = c('blue'), linetype = > c('dashed')) + > > xlab('Day') + ylab('Percent Mass Remaining') + opts(panel.grid.major = > theme_blank(), panel.grid.minor = theme_blank()) Is there anything odd about it that might be producing the odd ordering problem? FYI, avoiding subsetting ag.tab doesn't do the trick. - Justin Montemarano Graduate Student Kent State University - Biological Sciences http://www.montegraphia.com On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 11:42 AM, Ista Zahn <istaz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Justin, > > this gives the correct order (8, 16, 32) on my machine: > > 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) > total.density <- factor(total.density, levels=c(8, 16, 32), ordered=TRUE) > str(total.density) > > order(levels(total.density)) > > dat <- data.frame(td = total.density, v1 = rnorm(1:length(total.density))) > > ggplot(dat, aes(x = v1)) + > geom_density() + > facet_wrap(~td) > > Does it work for you?
