geom_crossbar: Vertical intervals: lines, crossbars & errorbars.

Description

Various ways of representing a vertical interval defined by x, ymin and ymax.

Usage

geom_crossbar(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity",
  position = "identity", fatten = 2.5, na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE, ...)

geom_errorbar(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity", position = "identity", na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE, ...)

geom_linerange(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity", position = "identity", na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE, ...)

geom_pointrange(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity", position = "identity", ..., fatten = 4, na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE)

Arguments

mapping
Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes or aes_. If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), is combined with the default mapping at the top le
data
A data frame. If specified, overrides the default data frame defined at the top level of the plot.
stat
The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.
position
Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.
fatten
A multiplicative factor used to increase the size of the middle bar in geom_crossbar() and the middle point in geom_pointrange().
na.rm
If FALSE (the default), removes missing values with a warning. If TRUE silently removes missing values.
show.legend
logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes.
inherit.aes
If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g.
...
other arguments passed on to layer. There are three types of arguments you can use here:

  • Aesthetics: to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, likecolor = "red"orsize = 3.

Aesthetics

[results=rd,stage=build]{ggplot2:::rd_aesthetics("geom", "linerange")} #' # Create a simple example dataset df <- data.frame( trt = factor(c(1, 1, 2, 2)), resp = c(1, 5, 3, 4), group = factor(c(1, 2, 1, 2)), upper = c(1.1, 5.3, 3.3, 4.2), lower = c(0.8, 4.6, 2.4, 3.6) )

p <- ggplot(df, aes(trt, resp, colour = group)) p + geom_linerange(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper)) p + geom_pointrange(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper)) p + geom_crossbar(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper), width = 0.2) p + geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper), width = 0.2)

# Draw lines connecting group means p + geom_line(aes(group = group)) + geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper), width = 0.2)

# If you want to dodge bars and errorbars, you need to manually # specify the dodge width p <- ggplot(df, aes(trt, resp, fill = group)) p + geom_bar(position = "dodge", stat = "identity") + geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper), position = "dodge", width = 0.25)

# Because the bars and errorbars have different widths # we need to specify how wide the objects we are dodging are dodge <- position_dodge(width=0.9) p + geom_bar(position = dodge, stat = "identity") + geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper), position = dodge, width = 0.25)
