Dear list,
I've been using plotmeans {gplots} a lot before, and found the
"connect" argument to be quite useful.
I've moved to ggplot for several reasons, but would still like to
connect lines conditionally, somehow.
Is it possible to do?
Small example:
df <- data.frame(cat=LETTERS[1:4],num=rnorm(4))
ggplot(df, aes(x=cat, y=num)) + geom_point() +
geom_line(aes(x=as.numeric(cat), y=num))
In this plot, I would like to be able to make the second line (the one
between B and C) not be there.
What I've come up with is this (instead using geom_segment):
df <- data.frame(cat=LETTERS[1:4],num=rnorm(4))
dfdf
<-cbind(df[seq(from=1,by=2,along.with=df),],df[seq(from=2,by=2,along.with=df),])
names(dfdf) <- c("cat","num","cat2","num2")
ggplot(df, aes(x=cat, y=num)) + geom_point() +
geom_segment(aes(x=cat,xend=cat2,y=num,yend=num2),data=dfdf)
Hoewever, in a more extended example (where df is more complex and
also contains factors used for grouping and faceting) this becomes a
bit cumbersome.
Is there a better way to do this?
