Hi, all,
I am currently trying to learn this example.
http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/ggplot2-barplots/
I created the stack bar easily.
If I would like to rank the stack bar from the highest on the right,
shortest on the left and eventually
I could show the data "1991-00" on the left and "1823-30"
on the right, how
could I do that?
Apart from this, I find something quite weird,
If I import a data frame with column names containing \n, for example,
pretty\nwoman, lemon\ntree, etc
for example: f3=as.data.frame(read.table("f3.csv", sep=",",
row.names=1,
header=TRUE, check.names=FALSE))
even I put check.names=FALSE, the column name will be changed to \\n, ie,
pretty\\nwoman, lemon\\ntree.
How could I get rid of extra "\" sign ???
Hope some genius could help.
Thanks in advance.
vd

It looks like period is a factor, so you can reorder the factor levels however you wish and then plot them the same way. I believe recode() in library(car) is a popular function for doing this, but I haven't used it myself.

Hi, Micheal, Are you talking about the recode for eliminating "\" problem? I think I am looking for how to eliminate it when I import the data file... THAnks.

Hi vd, The answer to the first part of your question is reorder. To continue the learnr example: df.m <- transform(df.m, Period = reorder(Period, -1*value)) ggplot(df.m, aes(x = Period, y = value/1e+06, fill = Region)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "stack") For the second question: please give a reproducible example.

Hi, Ista, 1. /"df.m <- transform(df.m, Period = reorder(Period, -1*value)) ggplot(df.m, aes(x = Period, y = value/1e+06, fill = Region)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "stack") "/ I have followed your instruction but I found the sequence did not change. 2. I am looking for the stack value, I have read many threads and eventually I think I should make a new frame and reorder it, after order it and put it as a new level for df.m and let it identify the sequence... I am still exploring how to intergrate it to the melt data df.m Thanks... -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/ggplot-rank-stack-bar-automatically-tp4391042p4399172.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hi, Here is what I get before reordering: http://izahn.homedns.org/tmp/barplotOriginal.png and after reordering: http://izahn.homedns.org/tmp/barplotReordered.png Are you saying you get something different? Or that this is not what you were trying to do?

Hi, Ista, I found the graph were same as "before recording" http://izahn.homedns.org/tmp/barplotOriginal.png Anyway, I will try again, Many thanks. I am now trying to stack it horizontally and found that the axis text overlap each other!! New battle start again. X_X!!

Hi VD, The plot should not be the same after reordering. Please show us what you did, and what the result was.
