I have tried: ggplot(plotFrame, aes(x = time, y = cycle, height = cycle, group = depth)) + geom_ridgeline() ggplot(plotFrame, aes(x = time, y = depth, height = cycle, group = depth)) + geom_ridgeline() ggplot(plotFrame, aes(x = time, y = depth, group = depth)) + geom_density_ridges()
none are producing a plot that was a ridgeline for each depth showing the time series at that depth. The plot should be like the geom_line plot, but as a ridgeline for each depth. -Roy > On Oct 17, 2017, at 12:39 PM, Bert Gunter <bgunter.4...@gmail.com> wrote: > > ...and your question is...? > ... and the code you tried that didn't work was? > > Bert > > > On Oct 17, 2017 12:22 PM, "Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal" > <roy.mendelss...@noaa.gov> wrote: > Hi All: > > I am just not understanding ggridges.
