R help - Dec 2009 - ggplot legend for multiple time series

Hello All,

 

I am trying to create a legend for a black-white graph. The package I
use is ggplot2. It can add colors to the legend key but not line types.
Can you please help?

 

# example from Wickman (2009, ggplot2 - elegant graphics for data
analysis, page 109)

 

library(ggplot2)

huron <- data.frame(year=1875:1972, level=LakeHuron)

ggplot(huron, aes(year)) +

    geom_line(aes(y=level+5, colour="above")) +

    geom_line(aes(y=level-5, colour="below")) +

    scale_colour_manual("Direction",
c("above"="black",
"below"="black"))

 

Thanks,

 

 

Edwin
