Hi, I was trying to increase the size of certain lines in my plot (samples 'B' and 'D' in example below). However, when I try to modify the line size, I seem to screw up the linetypes. Also, is there a way to reflect the line size in the legend?
Here is some sample code for illustration: library(reshape) matx <- matrix(sample(1:1000),4,5) colnames(matx) <- LETTERS[1:5] rownames(matx) <- 1:4 subset1 <- c('B','D') ltyvect <- c("solid","longdash","longdash","solid","solid") colvect <- c("red","black","orange","blue","lightblue") lwdvect <- rep(1,ncol(matx)) ## For subset of samples, increase line width size fmakelwd <- function(set1,subset1,vals1,val2=2){ idx <- set1 %in% subset1 vals1[idx] <- val2 return(vals1) } maty <- melt(matx) set1 <- maty$X2 vals1 <- rep(1,length(set1)) mylwd <- fmakelwd(set1,subset1,vals1,val2=1.5) matz <- data.frame(maty,mylwd) ##### code without trying to modify line size p <- ggplot(data=matz,aes(x=X1, y = value,col=X2,lty=X2,shape=X2)) p <- p + geom_line(aes(group = X2)) + geom_point(aes(shape = factor(X2)),size=3) + scale_linetype_manual(values = ltyvect) + scale_color_manual(values = colvect) + theme(legend.title = element_blank()) p ##### modifying line size p <- ggplot(data=matz,aes(x=X1, y = value,col=X2,lty=X2,shape=X2,size=mylwd)) p <- p + geom_line(aes(group = X2,size=mylwd)) + geom_point(aes(shape = factor(X2)),size=3) + scale_linetype_manual(values = ltyvect) + scale_color_manual(values = colvect) + scale_size(range=c(0.1, 2), guide=FALSE) + theme(legend.title = element_blank()) p ################# thanks!!
