Chris,
You need to specify position = "identity"
library(ggplot2)
series <- c('C2','C4','C8','C10','C15','C20')
series <- factor(series, levels = series)
ids <- c('ID1','ID2','ID3')
mydata <-
data.frame(SERIES=rep(series,30),ID=rep(ids,60),VALUE=rnorm(180), dummy
= factor(1))
ggplot(mydata, aes(y = VALUE, x = dummy)) + geom_boxplot(position =
"identity") + facet_grid(SERIES ~ ID)

Onderwerp: Re: [R] ggplot2 boxplot confusion
Thierry
1.
ggplot(mydata, aes(y = VALUE, x = SERIES)) + geom_boxplot() +
facet_grid(.~
ID)
creates a grid with three ID columns (ID1, ID2, ID3) and six SERIES
columns
within each ID column with two boxplots in each ID column (C10, C2)
(C15,
C4), (C20, C8). I was aiming for a grid with ID columns and SERIES rows.
However if I try something like this:
ggplot(mydata, aes(y = VALUE, x = factor(1))) + geom_boxplot() +
facet_grid(SERIES ~ ID)
I get an error:
Error: position_dodge requires the following missing aesthetics: x
Yet this works fine for a single boxplot (as you showed previously) if I
remove the facet_grid() command.
Any ideas?
Or perhaps my only recourse is to build this up programmtically, such
as:
(pseudo-ish code)
for id, ser in ids, series:
dat <- subset(mydata, (id %in% ids & ser %in% series)
boxplot(dat) in grid position id, ser
Can I specify grid plotting grid by grid with ggplot or do I need to
look at
lattice graphics? (I'd like to stick with ggplot if I can)
