How do I create a legend with ggplot?
I think should be getting the FuelTypeNum in the legend.
Plot:
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4632471/Rplot.jpeg
My code is:
ggplot(data=tempTable, aes(x=Bands8, y=SubPercent, fill=FuelTypeNum)) +
geom_bar(position="stack", stat="identity") +
scale_colour_hue('my legend', breaks = levels(tempTable$FuelTypeNum),
labels=c('Bio', 'Coal', 'Gas',
'Hydro','Other'))
tempTable:

Thank you for your help. I would expect FuelTypeNum to make up the legend. But in the legend there is an extra value of called '3' and in the chart there is an extra FuelTypeNum. code: ggplot(data=tempTable, aes(x=Bands8, y=AvailableMWNewFormat, fill=FuelTypeNum)) + geom_bar(position="stack", stat="identity") + coord_flip() Plot http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4632552/Rplot.jpeg Data: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4632552/dataRtest.csv dataRtest.csv -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/ggplot-incorrect-legend-tp4632471p4632552.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Try making FuelTypeNum into a factor like this:
p <- ggplot(data=tempTable, aes(x=Bands8, y=AvailableMWNewFormat,
fill=as.factor(FuelTypeNum))) +
geom_bar(position="stack", stat="identity")+
coord_flip()
p

Thank you, that was very helpful.
Would it be possible to rename the legend values as well. Example 1 as
Biomass, 2 as coal, 4 as gas, 5 as hydro?
ggplot(data=tempTable, aes(x=Bands8, y=AvailableMWNewFormat,
fill=as.factor(FuelTypeNum))) +
geom_bar(position="stack", stat="identity")+
guides(fill = guide_legend(title = "Fuel Type", title.position =
"top"))+
xlab( "Price Bands")+
ylab("Available MW")

coord_flip() + scale_fill_discrete("test") +

Hydro? Canadian, eh?
By the way, I just stole the solution from the Cookbook for R
http://wiki.stdout.org/rcookbook/Graphs/Legends%20%28ggplot2%29/
Here is a slightly different approach using the RColorBrewer package. The
colours are a bit less garish than the ones I randomly picked.
library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(data=tempTable, aes(x=Bands8, y=AvailableMWNewFormat,
fill=as.factor(FuelTypeNum))) +
geom_bar(position="stack", stat="identity")+
coord_flip() +
scale_fill_brewer(palette="Set1",
name="Energy\nSources",
breaks=c("1", "2", "4", "5"),
labels=c("biomass", "coal", "gas",
"hydro"))
