I have encountered a problem with faceted bar plots. I have tried to create something like the example explained in the ggplot2 book (see pp. 126-128):
library(ggplot2) mpg4 <- subset(mpg, manufacturer %in% c("audi", "volkswagen", "jeep")) mpg4$manufacturer <- as.character(mpg4$manufacturer) mpg4$model <- as.character(mpg4$model) base <- ggplot(mpg4, aes(fill = model)) + geom_bar(position = "dodge") + opts(legend.position = "none") base + aes(x = model) + facet_grid(. ~ manufacturer) That example works fine; the bar heights are just the same as the counts in the table: table(mpg4[,1:2]) model manufacturer a4 a4 quattro a6 quattro grand cherokee 4wd gti jetta new beetle audi 7 8 3 0 0 0 0 jeep 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 volkswagen 0 0 0 0 5 9 6 model manufacturer passat audi 0 jeep 0 But in other cases this does not occur. For instance, take a small subset of data(diamonds): diamonds25 <- droplevels(diamonds[1:25,2:3]) table(diamonds25) color cut E F H I J Fair 1 0 0 0 0 Good 1 0 0 1 4 Very Good 1 0 3 1 4 Premium 3 1 0 1 0 Ideal 1 0 0 1 2 And change the variables mapped in the previous plot: base <- ggplot(diamonds25, aes(fill = cut)) + geom_bar(position = "dodge") + opts(legend.position = "none") base + aes(x = cut) + facet_grid(. ~ color) I see all bars with height = 1. I have ovserved this problem (wrong bar heights, but not always = 1), in other cases when all counts are very small or zero. What's wrong here?
