similar to: ggplot2: setting global graphic parameters with png driver

Hi, I'm plotting a bar chart like this: ggplot() + geom_bar(data=res,aes(fill=f1,x=f2,y=y),stat="identity",position="dodge") f1 contains quite a few levels and the plot is really quite difficult to read when the order of bars on the graph and on the legend does not match. This problem has been discussed recently here:

Hi everyone, I've got quite a few labels along the x axis and ggplot2 basically just crams them on top of each other. Is it possible to reduce the font size and/or text direction? Stretching the "windows" device window manually also helps, but I found that setting the parameters for the pdf device (where my scripts should print the data), such as paper="a4r" just results

Hi, I am making myself familiar with ggplot2 (I really like the examples at <http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/>). One thing that really annoys me is the default use of white grid lines and a gray background [1, 2]. I simply would like to have black grid lines and a white background. No problem, I thought, "This is R. There is no if. Only how." (fortune("Simon Blomberg")).

Hi! When inserting R plots into a document using odfWeave, I fought for a while to get Lattice plots use the same text size as base plots. I eventually discovered that specifying a point size via e.g. svg(pointsize=10) has no effect on Lattice plots. One needs to adjust the size manually via: trellis.par.set(fontsize=list(text=10, points=8)) This is also developed for both Lattice and ggplot2 by

Code for this post is shown below.   Two issues: (1) grid.gedit doesn't work from source file Reproduce - copy the code shown below into an R source file, and of course save off in the appropriate location.  Then copy the the first line "source("C:/TestCode.R")" into R and run. Notice that you get the following error:Error in editDLfromGPath(gPath, specs, strict, grep,

>library(ggplot2) >(p<- qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars)) What I am doing is to set color of the ticks to hide them. >grid.gedit(gPath("xaxis", "ticks"), gp=gpar(col="white")) It should be a better way to achieve the purpose. Thanks.

Hi: Does anyone(Hadley?)know how to change the axis labels with the new version of ggplot2? With the old version I used the code below: grid.gedit("label", gp=gpar(fontsize=10, col="blue")) Thanks Felipe D. Carrillo Fishery Biologist US Fish & Wildlife Service California, USA

I am using Sweave to generate a document in which ggplot2 figures are embedded. I am using the following code in a particular plot within a subfloat environment: <<qplotARbosreg, echo = FALSE, fig = TRUE>>= print(qplot(bosday2, Arday2, data= arbostimearonlyNArm, colour=factor(bos2), shape=factor(bos2), size=factor(cumARscore), position="jitter", main="Days to BOS by

Hi I am using ggplot2 at the moment and I must say it is definitely better then ggplot - good work. My problem is that I am using facet_grid() in the following way: > p <- ggplot(ssq, aes(x=year, y=-log(ssq))) > p + geom_point() + facet_grid(me*gi~cs*rz) and it works nicely, except that I would like to have, in naddition to the values of me, gi, cs and rz the name of the variable.

Dear all, I'm trying to produce 2 png files, one consisting of an image plot and a color-table (also an image plot) and the other one consisting of 4 image plots and a color table. I'd like the color table to be exactly the same. The way I proceded is the following: for one plot and the color-table png(file = png.file, width = 650, height = 800, pointsize = 16) layout(matrix(c(1, 2),

Hi, I have a question related to the newest version of ggplot2 (0.9.0). I just updated this morning and from CRAN it looks like the Mac version is the only one at 0.9.0 as of right now. http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ggplot2/index.html Anyway, I was in the midst of a project where I was trying to replicate "Back-to-back Bar Charts" in this blog post.

Hi, I am having some hard time figuring how to access (and modify) the properties of an object created by ggplot. I found 'ggopts', but it only returns some of the properties. Say I want to get the x- and y-axis limits, the tickmark locations, legend current position, the legend box and background color and set them to new values. Are these properties easily accessible (and modifiable)

Dear List, I have the following data: >> test <- data.frame(date = as.Date(c('2007-01-01','2008-03-24','2003-03-02','2008-05-03','2002-05-23','2001-06-30','2005-12-04')), nr = c(2000,2000,2000,2001,2002,2003,2003)) test date nr 1 2007-01-01 2000 2 2008-03-24 2000 3 2003-03-02 2000 4 2008-05-03 2001 5 2002-05-23 2002 6

Hi Charlie, Thanks. This is helpful. As mentioned in my original question, I want to be able to plot a few such charts on the same page, say a 2 x 2 grid with such a chart for each of 4 different stocks. Using your solution I accomplished this by making a list pLst of your ggplots and then calling cowplot::plot_grid( plotlist=pLst, nrow=2, ncol=2 ) That worked fine. The one issue I have is that

Greetings to the help mailing list. I am in the process of translating a large graphic from xyplot to ggplot2 (13 columns by about rows). I have been unsuccessful trying to understand how to place the following text strings after three days of: * Perusing Wickham's "gg2plot" book; * Searching his site for gg2plot and qplot; * Reviewing the "man pages" for gg2plot; *

Hi, I'm trying to make a png file of a histogram. I would like a white background in the final product but end up producing a gray one, despite setting what I think are the correct parameters. Suggestions for how to properly set a white background would be welcome. Thanks in advance, Scot # for non-lattice > par("bg"="white") > par("bg") [1]

I have produced a series of graphs with the png command, however when I have finally printed these out the black text appears to have a colour shadow with blue or red on either side of the letter. I tried increasing my res to 1200 and this improved it somewhat, but the text is still not sharp and occassionally these "shadows" will still print. I initially thought this was an issue with

A very common chart in the financial markets is a split chart with two time series shown in two vertically stacked sub-charts. A classic case would be the top panel showing the time series of historical prices of some stock, and the bottom panel showing the volume traded per day immediately below it. The common x-axis is the dates of the time period covered. I would like to create such a standard

Hi In the following, the graph I see on the screen and the .png output coincide. However, in the .pdf file, the fonts seem to be scaled fairly larger, resulting in the label for the top legend disappearing. Is this an infelicity or bug, or is there something I've missed? More generally, how do I control the size of fonts used in legends and axis labels? library(car) library(ggplot2) qp

Thanks for the reminder about lattice! I did some searching and there's a good example of manipulating the size of subplots using the `position` argument (see pp. 202-203 in the Trellis Users Guide: http://ml.stat.purdue.edu/stat695t/writings/Trellis.User.pdf). This is not within the paneling environment with the headers like in other trellis plots though, so you'll have to do a bit
