I'm trying to reproduce the 3rd graph on the page of this site: http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/ggplot2-barplots/ . However, the data below produces a ggplot with the stacks sorted in alphabetical order from the bottom up. I'd like the stacks to be in the order "Europe", "Asia", "Americas, "Africa", "Oceania". Is there an easy way to manipulate ggplot or geom_bar to do this? /library(ggplot2) df <- structure(c(106487, 495681, 1597442, 2452577, 2065141, 2271925, 4735484, 3555352, 8056040, 4321887, 2463194, 347566, 621147, 1325727, 1123492, 800368, 761550, 1359737, 1073726, 36, 53, 141, 41538, 64759, 124160, 69942, 74862, 323543, 247236, 112059, 16595, 37028, 153249, 427642, 1588178, 2738157, 2795672, 2265696, 11951, 33424, 62469, 74720, 166607, 404044, 426967, 38972, 361888, 1143671, 1516716, 160037, 354804, 996944, 1716374, 1982735, 3615225, 4486806, 3037122, 17, 54, 55, 210, 312, 358, 857, 350, 7368, 8443, 6286, 1750, 7367, 14092, 28954, 80779, 176893, 354939, 446792, 33333, 69911, 53144, 29169, 18005, 11704, 13363, 18028, 46547, 14574, 8954, 2483, 14693, 25467, 25215, 41254, 46237, 98263, 185986), .Dim = c(19, 5), .Dimnames = list(c("1820-30", "1831-40", "1841-50", "1851-60", "1861-70", "1871-80", "1881-90", "1891-00", "1901-10", "1911-20", "1921-30", "1931-40", "1941-50", "1951-60", "1961-70", "1971-80", "1981-90", "1991-00", "2001-06"), c("Europe", "Asia", "Americas", "Africa", "Oceania"))) df.m2 <- melt(df) df.m2 <- rename(df.m2, c(X1 = "Period", X2 = "Region")) a <- ggplot(df.m2, aes(x = Period, y = value/1e+06, fill = Region)) + opts(title = "Migration to the United States by Source Region (1820-2006)") + labs(x = NULL, y = "Number of People (in millions)n", fill = "") b <- a + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "stack") b <- b + scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Set1") immigration_theme <- theme_update(axis.text.x = theme_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1), panel.grid.major = theme_line(colour = "grey90"), panel.grid.minor = theme_blank(), panel.background = theme_blank(), axis.ticks = theme_blank(), legend.position = "right") b/ Thanks in advance -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Ordering-of-stack-in-ggplot-package-ggplot2-tp3917159p3917159.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hi: levels(df.m2$Region) [1] "Africa" "Americas" "Asia" "Europe" "Oceania" Reorder your Region factor to the following: df.m2$Region <- factor(df.m2$Region, levels = c('Europe', 'Asia', 'Americas', 'Africa', 'Oceania')) Then recopy the code from the definition of a onward and you should get what you want. Worked for me.
