Re: [R] ggplot2 stacked line plot
Hi:
This is closer, but it is still not what you want; it does, however, show
what
geom_area is doing when it renders the plot, as can be seen by the colors.
data.set <- data.frame(
Time = c(rep(1, 4),rep(2, 4), rep(3, 4), rep(4, 4)),
Type = rep(c('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'), 4),
Value = c(10, 12, 14, 16, 14, 14, 20, 18, 18, 16, 22, 20, 26, 20, 24, 26)
)
ggplot(data.set, aes(x = Time, y = Value, group = Type)) +
geom_area(aes(color = Type), fill = 'transparent', position = 'stack')
You can see that a polygon is drawn (and normally filled) for each group,
but the line colors are not what you want and the polygon edges are not
what you want, either. I'd suggest using cumsum() to get cumulative totals
and using geom_line() instead; it would probably be less work...as in:
library(ggplot2)
data2 <- ddply(data.set, .(Time), transform, Csum = cumsum(Value))
ggplot(data2, aes(x = Time, y = Csum, color = Type)) + geom_line()

Re: [R] ggplot2 stacked line plot
Hi Hadley,
Thank you for taking the time to help me with this - I've constructed
the following example to illustrate my problem:
require(ggplot2)
data.set <- data.frame(
Time = c(rep(1, 4),rep(2, 4), rep(3, 4), rep(4, 4)),
Type = rep(c('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'), 4),
Value = c(10, 12, 14, 16, 14, 14, 20, 18, 18, 16, 22, 20, 26, 20, 24, 26)
)
When I use the following code:
ggplot(data.set, aes(x = Time, y = Value, colour = Type)) +
geom_area(aes(fill = Type), position = 'stack')
I get a very nice stacked area chart - each layer on the chart
represents a Type, with the total height of all the layers
representing the total Value across all Types for a given Time period
- this is what you would get numerically with the code:
with(data.set, aggregate(Value, by = list(Time), sum))
I want to achieve exactly the same thing as this, but instead of
having a coloured area to represent each layer I just want a coloured
line for each layer. When I use the following code to try and achieve
this:
ggplot(data.set, aes(x = Time, y = Value, colour = Type)) +
geom_line(aes(colour = Type), position = 'stack')
I get a warning/error message: "Missing ymax in position = 'stack'.
Maybe you want position = 'identity'?". The plot still renders, but
the lines are not stacked - the plot looks exactly as it would if the
following code was used instead:
ggplot(data.set, aes(x = Time, y = Value, colour = Type)) +
geom_line(aes(colour = Type), position = 'identity')
I suspect that the "position = 'stack'" argument is being ignored and
'identity' is being used by default...
Hope this helps,
Liam

Hi all,
I have been hunting around for hours trying to figure out how to
generate a stacked line chart using ggplot2. This type of chart can be

p <- ggplot2(~, aes(x = ~, y = ~, colour = Type)) +

However, when I try and replicate this using the following code for
geom_line:

the resulting plot is not stacked - i.e. each 'Type' is plotted at its
actual value rather than cumulatively to form a stacked chart... I
have poured through Hadley's ggplot2 book (ggplot2: elegant graphics

searching but cannot find a way to generate this type of plot.
R version: 2.9.2
ggplot2 version: 0.8.5

Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [R] ggplot2 stacked line plot
Hadley,
Thanks for the pointing that error out to me. Unfortunately, revising
my code to:
p <- ggplot2(~, aes(x = ~, y = ~, colour = Type)) +
geom_line(aes(colour = Type), position = 'stack')
still does not generate what I'm after. I'm essentially after a line
plot where each 'Type' ('series' in excel lingo) is stacked in an
analogous fashion to a stacked area chart (i.e. geom_area(aes(Fill =
Type), position = 'stack')) - again using lines rather than areas
though.
This chart should look just like a stacked area chart, however rather
than each 'layer' (representing a given 'Type') being filled with a
colour, each layer should have just a coloured line representing its
values. Summing each line vertically for a given value on the x-axis
across all the layers (i.e. 'Types') should then give the total y
value for that x value (just like vertically summing an area chart).
Really all I'm after is a stacked area chart where the fill for each
'Type' has been removed, leaving only a line for each (stacked) Type's
value...
I hope this is somewhat clear!
Many thanks,
Liam

Re: [R] ggplot2 stacked line plot
Hi Liam, Your syntax is a little off. You want: p <- ggplot2(~, aes(x = ~, y = ~, colour = Type)) + geom_area(aes(fill = Type), position = 'stack') Position isn't an aesthetic.

Are you trying to show a graph that looks like Figure 4.5 from this page? http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/ggplot2-version-of-figures-in-lattice-multivariate-data-visualization-with-r-part-4/ sans the coord_flip(), perhaps? That website is a good resource for ggplot graphics. He ran a whole series recreating the graphs in the lattice graphics book with ggplot2. His final post on that subject included a link to a pdf with the code and graphics for all the posts in that series for easy scanning, too. If this isn't the graph you wanted, perhaps you can skim that document to see if there's a graphic that resembles what you're after. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact __ 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.
[R] ggplot2 stacked line plot
Hi all, I have been hunting around for hours trying to figure out how to generate a stacked line chart using ggplot2. This type of chart can be generated in excel 2007 by selecting: Chart type > Line > Stacked line. I can generate a stacked area chart using the following code: p <- ggplot2(~, aes(x = ~, y = ~, colour = Type)) + geom_area(aes(position = 'stack', fill = Type)) However, when I try and replicate this using the following code for geom_line: p <- ggplot(~, aes(x = ~, y = ~, colour = Type)) + geom_line(aes(position = 'stack')) the resulting plot is not stacked - i.e. each 'Type' is plotted at its actual value rather than cumulatively to form a stacked chart... I have poured through Hadley's ggplot2 book (ggplot2: elegant graphics for data analysis), the R help list and also done general google searching but cannot find a way to generate this type of plot. R version: 2.9.2 ggplot2 version: 0.8.5 OS: windows 7 (64-bit). Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
